Catamaran day trip on the Navivoile, top-notch crew, friendly atmosphere, attentive service, varied and excellent breakfast. I highly recommend a catamaran day trip on the Navivoile in Canet-en-Roussillon. Thank you for this wonderful day and trip; I would love to do it again. See you soon!

A wonderful outing yesterday for a barbecue cruise and a swim in Paulille Bay! It did us so much good that these cruises should be covered by health insurance 😁 The captain and crew were fantastic… the barbecue at the back of the boat was delicious, as were the salads and desserts ☺️ We can't wait for this trip for a complete escape!! See you soon aboard the Navivoile

Dolphin watching cruise for my children. I appreciated the professionalism and friendliness of the team. A big thank you for this wonderful experience. Snacks, small plates, and hot and cold drinks were available on board. Beautiful sails. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience. I did the Port Vendres and Collioure excursion. I was the only English speaking person on board but had my own personal commentary and welcome from the Captain which was very welcome and made the trip all the most interesting. The mini train connection allowed plenty of time in Collioure which is well worth visiting. The return train took us up into the hills which was a great experience. For the journey back to Canet-Rousillon we were under sail which was very very good. The boat is exceptionally clean and very well maintained, and the crew are super friendly and helpful. Thank you. Highly recommended. Anthony Osborne

A truly relaxing experience. Ten hours of pure bliss. The food was excellent. The boat trip and swimming were fantastic. The crew was incredibly friendly and the boat was spotless. We'll definitely be back.

Fantastic outing! We opted for the 1-hour sailing trip to try it out, and honestly, it was great fun. If you arrive 30 minutes before departure, you can get a spot, as there are only 6 places per net (so 12 in total), but there are also places right behind the nets or even inside. There's a bar and snacks on board, and you can even smoke at the back of the boat with a superb view. The crew is very welcoming and friendly and provides lots of information. It's a big yes, I highly recommend it!

Hello, we came on Wednesday, August 26th, 2026, for a magnificent bottlenose dolphin encounter cruise. We were lucky enough to see several dolphin families with an extraordinary approach. The crew and captain shared this experience with us in a truly grand way, respecting the natural habitat of our dolphin friends. A big thank you, and we hope to do it again someday.

Owner's reply:Hello Aymeric and Laurie, A huge thank you for your 5-star rating and for this wonderful review! 😊🙏 We are delighted that your August 26th Bottlenose Dolphin Watching cruise left you with such a beautiful memory.

Hello, first experience with my little dolphin excursion plus a visit to Colluire and the port by train – fantastic! Great atmosphere, friendly, and the captain and crew were very welcoming and smiling. I recommend it at least once if you're in the area. The price is great value, we were super happy, we came home refreshed after a full day. Thank you all, all the best! Maybe next time we'll see the whales, just the dolphins today – very spectacular. Sincerely, Khaoua. Thanks again for the day!

Owner's reply:Hello, A huge thank you for your 5-star rating and for this wonderful review of the "combined" dolphin cruise with stops in Port Vendres and Collioure! 😊🙏 It's such a joy to know that you enjoyed this first experience on board with your little boy so much! Between the magical spectacle of the dolphins offshore, the stop in Collioure, and life on board, it was indeed a well-paced day that left wonderful memories (and a good dose of fresh air and tiredness!). 🐬🏰☀️⛵️ The captain and the entire crew warmly thank you for your kind words about their welcome and their daily enthusiasm. Offering a complete, welcoming day at a fair price is a priority for us. We'll keep our promise to see the whale on your next visit! It will be a great pleasure to welcome you both back on board for new maritime adventures. Wishing you both a wonderful summer, The Navivoile Crew

We had a wonderful time. The naturalist was very friendly and provided information about the local flora and fauna. The crew was very attentive and kind. Sailing at the wind speed was very pleasant. And as a bonus, dolphins graced us with their presence. We were truly delighted. Our son and we ourselves loved it and we will be back for another trip at sea.

A truly wonderful experience! We were able to observe dozens, perhaps even a hundred, dolphins during the 10 am dolphin and whale watching tour. It was a timeless experience.

Owner's reply:Hello Melissa, A huge thank you for your 5-star rating and for this wonderful testimonial about your Whale & Dolphin Discovery Cruise! 😊🙏 Being surrounded by dozens—and sometimes hundreds—of dolphins offshore is a truly magnificent sight that leaves an unforgettable memory.

Bottlenose dolphin encounter on August 13th. Just wow! I've been a huge dolphin lover since I was little, so when the opportunity arose to observe them in their natural habitat, I didn't hesitate. It was truly magnificent. Superb catamaran and a fantastic, really friendly crew. I recommend it 100% and will be back for the whales this time. Well done!

Owner's reply:Hello Christelle, A huge thank you for your 5-star rating and for sharing your superb photo! 😊🙏 Realizing a childhood dream by observing these magnificent bottlenose dolphins swimming freely in their natural habitat is an indescribable emotion.

A wonderful day spent encountering dolphins in a respectful manner. A lovely stopover in Collioure. One small drawback: this type of day trip isn't suitable for very young children, who cried a lot on the boat.

Owner's reply:Hello Edith, A huge thank you for your 5-star rating and for this valuable feedback from Local Guide on this "combined" dolphin cruise with stops in Port Vendres and Collioure! 😊🙏 The whole team is delighted that you enjoyed this wonderful day, combining gentle dolphin watching offshore with the magnificent stop in Collioure. 🐬🏰⛵️ You are absolutely right about your comment: full-day trips at sea require a certain level of stamina. The pace, the sun, and the fresh air can indeed be tiring for toddlers. For families with very young children, we generally recommend our shorter cruise options (2 hours or half-day) to ensure their complete comfort. 👶☀️ Thank you so much for your trust, and we look forward to welcoming you aboard again for another sailing trip! Best regards, The Navivoile Crew
