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

Back from our barbecue and swimming trip on August 10, 2026, departing from Canet-en-Roussillon. A huge thank you again to Cyril and his entire team for this superb day. Everything was perfect, as usual. Top-notch team, fabulous scenery, delicious food, and beautiful weather. The recipe for a perfect day. We come to Sainte-Marie-la-Mer every summer for our holidays and have been loyal Navivoile customers for years; we will definitely be back next year.

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

Dolphin watching cruise (morning 7:30-11:30 am). Simply magical. Top-notch crew. A magnificent morning; we saw the dolphins while respecting them in their natural habitat. They came right up to the boat and showed us their most impressive acrobatics. Enriching commentary throughout the trip from the captain and the naturalist. We're from the Pyrénées-Orientales region, and this was our first time. We'll be back for the 10:00 am whale watching cruise. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience.

Owner's reply:Hello Céline, A huge thank you for your 5 stars and for this wonderful testimonial! 😊🙏 What a pleasure to read about the joy of a fellow resident of the Pyrénées-Orientales after this first sailing trip with us! This 7:30 am outing offers a unique tranquility, and watching these bottlenose dolphins come of their own accord to play in the boat's wake, with complete respect for their natural environment, remains an absolute marvel! 🐬✨🌅 Our captain and our naturalist are very touched by your words: sharing their passion and knowledge on the water is at the heart of our daily commitment. 🧠🌊 It will be a great privilege to welcome you back on board with great joy to take on the challenge of the great 10-hour offshore adventure to meet the whales next spring! 🐋⛵️ Have a wonderful summer and see you very soon at sea, The Navivoile Crew

Excellent boat trip departing from Port Vendre. The boat was very well equipped, offering a good balance between sailing and swimming. The meal was very good, plentiful, with something for everyone and high quality (squid, prawns). Finally, the crew was friendly, professional, and provided helpful information about the coastline. We recommend it for all ages.

Owner's reply:Hello Marilyn, A huge thank you for your 5-star rating and for this wonderful Local Guide review! 😊🙏 We are delighted that you enjoyed your day trip from Port-Vendres so much. Finding the perfect balance between the pleasure of sailing, onboard comfort, passionate explanations about our beautiful coastline, and a refreshing swim is at the heart of our expertise! ⛵️🏖️🌊 Thank you also for your kind words about the meal. Our grill chef is always happy to delight young and old alike with our fresh produce and our specialties cooked on the plancha grill! 🦑🦐🥩🍷 The entire team warmly thanks you for your recommendation for all ages.

Best sea excursion of my life. A boat trip and a barbecue. The boat trip was magnificent and the lunch was of very high quality. Far from the tourist traps. Anchovies, Catalan sausage, cuttlefish, grilled prawns, aperitifs, wine, and coffee. The value for money was outstanding. Obviously, we'll do it again as soon as we return. A real gem! Thank you to the fantastic team.

Owner's reply:Hello Maëlle, A huge thank you for this exceptional 5-star review, it warms our hearts! 😊🙏 Reading that this Barbecue & Swim outing was the "best excursion of your life" is the greatest reward for the Navivoile crew. We pride ourselves on offering authentic and generous cuisine, prepared on board overlooking the sublime setting of the protected natural site of Paulilles Bay. Knowing that you so enjoyed our local specialties cooked on the plancha grill (special mention for the baby squid and prawns! 😉) and the convivial atmosphere of the meal means a great deal to us. 🥩🦑🦐🍷☕️⛵️ Thank you so much for your trust and for this wonderful message about the team.

Different cruises, but always the same magic at work; this superb catamaran will captivate you instantly. If you're looking for an extraordinary and convivial experience, I highly recommend Total Escape!! *loyal customer since 2023* Tina 🤩

Owner's reply:Hello Tina, The entire team is awarding you the Palme d'Or for the most radiant and loyal passenger! A huge thank you for this wonderful message. 😊🙏 It was already a great joy to celebrate your birthday on board with your family this spring, but yesterday's outing... what a memorable day! The calendar said May 30th, but we felt like we were living a waking dream. ✨ Mother Nature has spoiled you for your loyalty since 2023: crossing paths with this majestic fin whale (the second largest animal on the planet! 🐋), admiring these four groups of bottlenose dolphins, spotting puffins, a sunfish, and even a swordfish... it was simply magnificent! Your joie de vivre and enthusiasm are a driving force for Captain Cyril and the entire crew. It's precisely for moments of sharing like these that we do this job. Thank you for your continued trust, year after year. You've become a part of the catamaran's DNA! See you soon for more adventures, Cyril ;)

He took an excursion in the valley of Canet de Roussillon passing through Portvendres to take a trip to Cotlliure and tornada to the unrevealed però through the mountain and tornado in Canet. Està molt ben penseda. Dóna temps per visitar el Castell, dinar i pasjar. Excellent. Please note that only foreigners have the right to explain their journey amb molta amabilitat. Recommended 100x100.

Owner's reply:Bon dia Jordi, Thank you for your opinion and for our 5 stars! 😊🙏 Our entire team is very happy to be able to go on a quest for a day between Canet, Port-Vendres and Cotlliure. Waiting for our passengers and explaining the route at the same time, attentiveness and sympathy are essential for our passengers. La nostra costa Catalana és precious i és a plaer poder-la compartir amb vosaltres! ⛵️🚂🏰☀️ Thank you very much for your recommendation and for your confidence. We are looking forward to a very good deal and will be a good place for you to join on board! Thank you so much, Jordi, for your 5-star review and for this wonderful feedback! 😊🙏 Our entire team is delighted that you enjoyed this beautiful day combining sailing and the little train between Port-Vendres and Collioure.

I can highly recommend the Navivole from Canet en Roussillon. We did a full day trip from Canet to Port Vendres. The petite train took us to Collioure where we spent 4 hours swimming and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The return train was up through the vineyards overlooking Collioure and gave spectacular views. The catamaran was spotless, staff were friendly and helpful and everything ran like clockwork! Great day out!!! We will definitely return. Thank you Navivole 🙏

Owner's reply:Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for your 5-star review and your wonderful feedback! 😊🙏 Our entire crew is delighted to hear that you had such an amazing day with us. From the sailing trip starting from Canet-en-Roussillon to the little train ride through Collioure's stunning vineyards and your swimming time, we are so happy that everything went perfectly! ⛵️🚂🍇🏊‍♀️✨ Thank you very much for your kind words regarding the cleanliness of the catamaran and our helpful staff. It will be a true pleasure to welcome you back on board during your next visit! Cyril (captain)

We were determined to go on a boat trip to see dolphins, but in an ethical and respectful way. We weren't disappointed at all! ❤️ The boat was very clean, and we benefited from the explanations of a naturalist throughout our five-hour journey. We had the immense pleasure of seeing the dolphins for over an hour and a half! A wonderful interaction, without ever forcing contact: we let them come to us naturally. It was incredibly satisfying and moving. 🥰 I highly recommend this kind of experience to everyone, as it truly prioritizes animal welfare and respects their status as wild animals. Here, there's no intrusive interaction, no forced contact… and that's precisely what encourages these marvelous, naturally curious mammals to come and say hello. 🐬❤️ We will most certainly return in the spring with our children, as I dream that they can have the same experience as us. And why not try an outing that might allow us to spot whales? 🐋☺️

Owner's reply:Hello Lorianne, A huge thank you for this wonderful 5-star review and for the beauty of your message, which touched the Navivoile crew deeply! 😊🙏 Your feedback perfectly highlights the values that have always driven us on our nature outings, including the one you mentioned: the bottlenose dolphin watching cruise departing from Port-Vendres (5 hours). At sea, we are merely guests. Approaching wildlife requires patience, humility, and a profound respect for their tranquility: it is only by letting them come to us without ever forcing contact that the magic happens and the emotion becomes pure and authentic! 🐬❤️✨ Our naturalist and our sailors are very touched by your words. Sharing this ethical approach and our knowledge throughout our voyages is a mission that is very close to our hearts. 🧠🌊 It will be a great pleasure to welcome you back next spring with your children! Giving them this experience and, who knows, perhaps sharing with you the magic of an encounter with whales on the open sea (whale and dolphin discovery cruise) will be a true privilege. 🐋👶⛵️ A huge thank you for your trust and kind words. Have a wonderful summer and see you very soon at sea! Cyril (Captain of the Navivoile)

A huge thank you to the whole team for this superb day encountering the dolphins. Our eyes were sparkling with wonder for the entire family. A day that will remain among our most cherished memories. Thank you for offering us an alternative to the whale watching excursion, which was cancelled due to the winds and waves. We'd never had the pleasure of seeing the sails raised before! What a team! We have absolutely no complaints; they provided plenty of very interesting information (all delivered with great humor). Even the little train ride through the vineyards, included during the stopover, was incredible with its panoramic views. Thank you to the captain for his time and for chatting with our son, who was more than interested! We will definitely be back one day to see the whales offshore. 🥰

Owner's reply:Hello Sandrine, A huge thank you for your 5-star rating and for this wonderful testimonial, which means so much to the Navivoile crew! 😊🙏 The safety and comfort of our passengers remain our top priority. When sea conditions offshore aren't ideal for the full 10-hour trip, we always strive to offer you alternatives during calmer times. We are so happy that this combined "Dolphin Watching with a stopover in Port Vendes and Collioure" excursion provided your whole family with unforgettable memories! 🐬⛵️✨ Thank you so much for highlighting the pleasure of sailing, the passionate explanations of our naturalist Cynthia, and the vineyard tour by miniature train during the stopover. The captain was also very touched by your message: it was a real pleasure for him to chat with your enthusiastic son; sharing our maritime passion is at the heart of our work! 👨‍✈️❤️🧠 A huge thank you for your trust and your wonderful energy on board. It will be a great privilege to welcome you back when you come to experience the great adventure of whale watching offshore! 🐋🌊 Have a wonderful summer, everyone, and see you very soon, Gaëlle Navivoile

Owner's reply:Hello Stéphane, A huge thank you for your 5-star rating and for this heartwarming testimonial about the "dolphin watching with barbecue and swimming" package! 😊🙏 Reading your description puts a smile on our faces: between the magic of encountering the dolphins, the delicious barbecues on the planchas at sea, swimming in the protected natural site of Paulilles Bay, and the unforgettable moment of napping in the nets, you truly experienced the essence of the Navivoile adventure! 🐬🥩🏊‍♂️😴⛵️ The entire crew is particularly touched by your kind words about their warm welcome, their kindness, and their humility.

We took a short cruise with NAVIVOILE. We departed at 11:30 am and returned around 16:30 pm, so we spent the entire afternoon on board. We sailed to a small cove where we anchored, swam, and sunbathed, enjoying lunch on the boat before sailing back to port under mainsail. The crew was incredibly welcoming, very kind, and attentive throughout the cruise. The barbecue was prepared by the crew while we were sailing. Kudos to the cook who managed to cook on the griddle in the heat! 👍🏻 We all had a wonderful afternoon. The boat was spotlessly clean. Thank you to the staff for their kindness. I highly recommend it if it fits your budget.

Owner's reply:Hello Julien, A huge thank you for this wonderful 5-star review and for such a detailed description of your barbecue and swimming cruise departing from Port Vendres (5 hours) with us! 😊🙏 As a Local Guide, your feedback perfectly highlights everything that makes our 11:30 am to 16:30 pm package so charming: the pleasure of anchoring in a beautiful cove, swimming, relaxation, and of course, the magic of returning under full sail, carried by the wind! ⛵️🌊☀️ A special shout-out to our chef: his hard work at the griddle in the summer heat, preparing fresh grilled food for you, is truly rewarded by your kind words! The entire crew is very touched by your comments about their kindness, attentiveness, and the cleanliness of the catamaran, which is a top priority for us. 🥩🔥🧹 Thank you so much for your enthusiastic recommendation. It was a real pleasure to welcome you, and the entire crew of the Navivoile wishes you a wonderful summer. We look forward to seeing you on board again for another sailing trip! The Navivoile Crew

We took part in a sunset cruise; the atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant, a perfect way to end (or begin) the evening. The staff was incredibly friendly. We had a friend who was ill and had to cancel, and he received a full refund (minus 3.5%, which is practically nothing). It's very child-friendly, and the food on board isn't overpriced, which is quite rare.

Owner's reply:Hello Sir, A huge thank you for this superb 5-star review and your detailed recommendation! 😊🙏 We are delighted that this Twilight Cruise provided you with such a relaxing and enjoyable break. It's always a pleasure to know that young and old alike have a wonderful time aboard the catamaran! 🌅⛵️✨ Regarding your friend's cancellation due to illness, we naturally processed his refund (only the 3,5% bank transaction fee remains applicable). As the ship wasn't full that day, this caused us no hardship, and we were committed to acting fairly and flexibly. We wish him a very speedy recovery! 🤝🙂 Thank you also for highlighting our onboard dining prices: we meticulously ensure that our bar/snack menu is very affordable, often more so than those found on land, so that the experience remains enjoyable for the whole family. 🍹🍪 The entire team thanks you warmly and hopes to see you again very soon for another sea adventure!
