What We Love About This Experience
This boat trip promises an elegant way to see the Costa Brava’s wild beauty from the water. We’re particularly drawn to the stunning sea views from the boat’s spacious deck, the chance to snorkel in crystal-clear coves, and the personalized service provided by a professional skipper.

One thing to keep in mind is that the boat can accommodate only up to 6 passengers, which means it’s perfect for small groups or intimate outings but might feel tight if you’re traveling with larger parties.

This experience suits travelers seeking a relaxed yet exclusive day at sea, those interested in unique snorkeling spots, or anyone looking to explore the Costa Brava from a perspective few get to enjoy—on the water, away from crowds.
