Boat trip in Canet-en-Roussillon 1 hour 30 minutes sailing The pleasure of sailing, without the engine noise.
The perfect boat trip for the whole family
While a 1-hour boat trip gives you a taste of what's to come, 1.5 hours offers a true escape. This boat trip in Canet-en-Roussillon takes you further along the Catalan Coast.
Indeed, once aboard the Navivoile catamaran , the magic happens: the engines fall silent, the wake stretches out, and only the creaking of the sails breaks the silence. You leave the hustle and bustle behind for an immediate feeling of freedom.
Traveling along the coastline between Sainte-Marie-la-Mer , Saint-Cyprien and Le Barcarès , you will discover the sandy coast from a unique perspective from the open sea.
During peak season, this Thursday at 17:00 PM meeting is the ideal time: the thermal breeze picks up, filling the sails, while the late afternoon light makes the Catalan Coast sparkle . It's the perfect moment to end your beach day in style.
Why choose the 1.5-hour boat trip rather than the 1-hour one?
Navivoile offers two boat trip options in Canet-en-Roussillon : 1 hour or 1.5 hours. The 1-hour trip is the introductory option, perfect for a first time at sea or with young children. But the 1.5-hour trip takes things to another level: you'll spend more time at sea, cruising along the coast past Sainte-Marie-la-Mer, Saint-Cyprien, and Le Barcarès . The pace is more relaxed, giving the captain time to share his local knowledge and offer you a unique perspective of the Catalan coast.
Is it really possible to sail on such a short trip?
The answer is yes! The lightweight and high-performance design of the Navivoile catamaran allows it to catch even the slightest breeze. As soon as you leave the jetties of Canet harbor, the engines disappear, giving way to sail propulsion . An authentic and eco-friendly sailing experience awaits you, where the only sound is that of the bow slicing through the Mediterranean.
Speed, stability and thrills: sailing for everyone
Nature's rhythm: Here, it's not speed that counts, but the quality of the moment. Speed depends entirely on the strength of the wind: sometimes brisk and exhilarating, sometimes gentle and soothing. The essential thing is to move forward without an engine, in harmony with the elements.
Exceptional stability: Unlike a traditional sailboat, the Navivoile remains remarkably flat on the water. You enjoy the feeling of gliding without the discomfort of heeling. This is what makes this sailing trip so serene and accessible, even to those who don't have their sea legs.

The Navivoile catamaran: a committed player in sustainable tourism
Choosing this boat trip in Canet-en-Roussillon means opting for eco-friendly tourism that respects the fragile balance of our coastline. Where a typical motorized outing would consume over a hundred liters of fuel, our sustainable tourism approach allows us to complete this 90-minute trip using only 1 liter of fuel.
This feat is the result of an eco-navigation philosophy : we use the clean and infinite energy of the wind to limit our carbon footprint. Compared to a conventional pleasure boat, we consume 100 times less fuel and thus reduce our CO2 emissions by a factor of 100.
By drastically reducing polluting emissions and noise pollution, we offer you an eco-responsible experience in the heart of the Mediterranean, in perfect harmony with the preservation of the marine biodiversity of Roussillon.
To give you a concrete idea, on a single 1.5-hour outing, you save the CO2 equivalent of:
- • A 1,200 km journey in a combustion engine car (the equivalent of a Perpignan-Amsterdam trip!).
- • Charging 23,500 smartphones.
- • The annual absorption capacity of 14 adult trees.
