Boat trip in Canet en Roussillon 1 hour sailing Feel the rhythm of the wind

A sailing trip at sea: a unique family experience

Far from the hustle and bustle of land , let yourself be carried away by the waves and discover unique nautical sensations aboard our maxi sailing catamaran. This voyage offers a rare opportunity to feel the power of the elements and listen to the sole song of the waves and the wind filling the sails. Whether the forecast predicts a "very light breeze" or a "strong gale," you will experience incomparable emotions. You will discover how Aeolus , the god of the wind, becomes your greatest ally, propelling this giant of the seas to speeds that would put many a motorboat to shame! It's the only sea excursion in Canet-en-Roussillon where you can say, with a smile, that it was "just a breeze."

The ritual of navigation: when the engine fades away

As soon as they leave the harbor, the ritual begins. The captain and crew first hoist the mainsail (up to 180 square meters of sail area), then unfurl the staysail. A few moments later, the engine falls silent: propulsion becomes 100% sail-powered. Silence descends, giving way to the gentle lapping of the water and the fresh sea air. It is often at this precise moment that children and adults alike disconnect from their daily routines to better appreciate the wonder of the place.

The catamaran then sails along the Côte Radieuse , between the Canet-Saint-Nazaire saltwater lagoon and Sainte-Marie-la-Mer . Throughout the trip, the captain shares his knowledge, explains the landscapes, discusses the local wildlife, and introduces young and old to sailing terminology. In just one hour, you're not simply taking a boat trip; you'll understand and experience the Mediterranean in a whole new way.

An accessible and eco-friendly boat trip for families

This excursion is designed for the whole family. The one-hour duration is ideal for children of all ages. Thanks to its width, the catamaran is extremely stable, thus minimizing seasickness . Younger children love to sit on the front nets and watch the water flow by beneath them, while parents can relax in the shade of the secure gondola.

What you will discover during this sea trip:

• • How a sail works and learning navigation and nautical terms.
• • How the force of the wind propels a 25-meter ship without any mechanical assistance.
• • The Canet-Saint-Nazaire ponda protected natural area classified Natura 2000.
