A boat trip in Canet-en-Roussillon to explore the treasures of the Catalan coastline

A scenic cruise along the coast. On the agenda:

  • sailing along the sandy then rocky coast
  • break for a swim in the sea
  • meals on board
  • moment of relaxation in the sun
  • friendly atmosphere on board

A true escape from the beach and the summer hustle and bustle.

Come aboard the Navivoile catamaran for a sea trip in Canet-en-Roussillon dedicated to relaxation and absolute pleasure . We sail close to the fine sandy beaches, passing the Canet-Saint-Nazaire lagoon before crossing the preserved landscapes of the Mas Larrieu Nature Reserve and the mouth of the Tech river.

The scenery changes dramatically as we approach the rocky coast: after admiring the beaches of Saint-Cyprien and Argelès-sur-Mer, we glide past the wild coves of Porteils. One of the highlights of your cruise will undoubtedly be the majestic entrance into the bay of Collioure, offering an unforgettable view of the bell tower of the Notre-Dame-des-Anges church and the Royal Castle, a true feast for the eyes.

A short stopover in Port-Vendres, then sailing towards the Paulilles cove

After sailing for 1 hour and 45 minutes, the catamaran makes a brief stop of a few minutes in the port of Port-Vendres (no stop for passengers). Then, as soon as we set sail, we skirt Béar Hill to round its famous headland. There, you can admire its charming pink lighthouse, built in 1901, and then, just south of Cap Béar, spectacular sea caves, sculpted by nature in the schist rock. Finally, we reach our anchorage in the stunning Paulilles Bay. This protected site welcomes you to an idyllic and unspoiled setting , offering a timeless escape in the heart of the Catalan coast.

Swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, a special moment

Far from the crowds, in a pristine natural setting, just a few meters from the rocks, our team organizes a swimming break: we recommend bringing a mask, fins, and snorkel to fully enjoy a snorkeling session . This way, you can discover marine life at your own pace in the protected, yet still vibrant, waters of the bay. Indeed, the Cerbère/Banyuls-sur-Mer marine reserve, just a few hundred meters away, boasts truly exceptional marine life.

This cruise also lets you dive into the clear waters of the Mediterranean. You can also enjoy the sun on deck while admiring the scenery between Canet-en-Roussillon and the Côte Vermeille.

Barbecue on board: a convivial moment

Time to indulge! To enhance the experience, the crew prepares grilled food on the plancha grill on board in a relaxed, family atmosphere. You'll share a warm and convivial meal under the awning, sheltered from the sun, in a tranquil spot in the bay of Paulilles, an authentic and unspoiled location . This shared moment is an integral part of this special experience.

Whether you want to swim, relax or simply enjoy the scenery, everyone experiences it at their own pace.

After three hours at anchor, it's time to hoist the sails and head back towards Port-Vendres and Canet-en-Roussillon. This is a chance to extend the outing in a friendly atmosphere, overlooking the Mediterranean.

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

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.

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 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!

Fantastic experience... a truly wonderful excursion. Living in Perpignan, I went without much enthusiasm to accompany my family on holiday, fearing it would be a tourist trap. But it was a delightful discovery: a very friendly crew, with genuine environmental convictions and real knowledge of marine wildlife, the region, and its history... and to top it all off, a delicious meal. In short, TOP-NOTCH

A fantastic family outing. The catamaran is excellent and very well maintained. The crew is amazing, very friendly and helpful. Not only did we see lots of dolphins, but also a sunfish... I wasn't expecting that at all. Thanks again for this wonderful trip!
Owner's reply:Hello Patrice, A huge thank you for your 5 stars and for this wonderful review! 😊🙏 It's a real joy to know that the whole family had such a great time with us during this whale and dolphin watching cruise. The Mediterranean Sea sometimes holds incredible surprises, and encountering a majestic sunfish (Mola mola) in addition to the numerous striped and bottlenose dolphins makes sailing simply magical! 🐬🐟☀️✨ The entire team warmly thanks you for your compliments on their welcome, their friendliness, and the cleanliness of the ship, an absolute priority for us. 🧹⛵️ Thank you so much for your trust and for sharing your photos. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back on board for another adventure at sea! The Navivoile Crew
