Get to know Costa Brava on a sailing tour from Palamos

Holidays are becoming the best memories due to unforgettable moments - create some at a wonderful sailing trip from Palamos along Costa Brava. On the half day sailing tour in the summer months, you can sail along the Spanish coast on an antic fishing boat. The Vela Latina sailing boat was constructed in 1915 and continuously renovated and maintained during the course of the years, so you can still enjoy the beauty of the sailboat nowadays, 100 years later. The experienced crew reveals the interesting history of the sailboat and demonstrares you how the special Latin sail works, all of that during the relaxing sailing excursion from Palamos.

Since the sailing boat just has a small capacity of 25 passengers, you can perfectly relax on board of the Costa Brava sailing trip. Let your eyes wander over the varying coastline and enjoy the sunshine and the marvellous views on the endlessly seeming Mediterranean sea. After passing steep cliffs, a sea cave and the village Calella de Palafrugell with its small bay, the traditional sailingboat directly steers to Cala Castell. The bay with turqouise-blue shimmering sea is just perfect for an unwinding swim stop and for trying the traditional Catalan lunch on board. After that, you'll be navigating to the Islas Formigues offshore the Costa Brava, before the sailboat turns around and sails back to Palamos. The sailing trip is also well-suitable for children and an amazing excursion from Palamos to get to know the history and landscape of Costa Brava better.

On the shorter sailing excursion, you'll mostly sail supported by the motor to make the same route in less time. But of course you'll have just as much time for swimming and relaxing on board, while the gorgeous coast passes by. The shorter boat trip at Costa Brava also includes extensive explanations about the history of Castell and the passionate environmental movement "Salvem Castell", that made the area famous.
