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.
