Boat trip to Collioure: Stopover in Port-Vendres and Collioure Boat trip to Collioure: a day spent between the sea, Catalan villages and exceptional panoramas

Stopover in Port-Vendres, the authentic Catalan port

From our departure in Canet-en-Roussillon , we first sail along the vast stretches of fine sand of the Côte Radieuse. Then, the landscape changes dramatically, giving way to the steep cliffs of the Côte Vermeille. Your boat trip to Collioure will then take you first to Port-Vendres, the first stop on this excursion.

The port of Port-Vendres lies at the heart of the Côte Vermeille and is among the most authentic sites on the Catalan coast. Indeed, a port that blends fishing and commercial activity, it reveals a typically Mediterranean atmosphere, surrounded by hills and vineyards.

Upon arrival, a member of the crew will escort you to the tourist train . From Port-Vendres, the train travels along the quays of the port before taking the coastal road to Collioure. This scenic journey offers magnificent views of the rocky coastline and the region's iconic landscapes, while also providing historical commentary.

Finally, you reach the heart of the village of Collioure, ready to fully enjoy your second stopover and discover this unmissable gem of the Côte Vermeille.

Enjoy a free stop in Collioure and explore the village at your own pace.

You then have approximately 4.5 hours of free time to explore Collioure. This iconic and absolutely unmissable Mediterranean village charms visitors with its colorful streets, picturesque little port, historical monuments, and artistic atmosphere.
