What to expect
You'll collect the boat at Can Pastilla, receive a brief rundown of controls and safety, then have the bay to yourself. The Perseis handles responsively in coastal waters—think tight turns into narrow coves and gentle anchoring over rocky seabeds. Most people find the steering intuitive after the first ten minutes. You'll likely spot rocky outcrops, small beaches tucked between cliffs, and the occasional cave entrance worth poking into. Expect other pleasure boats in peak hours, but plenty of quieter corners exist. Bring sunscreen and water; there are no onboard facilities beyond the basics.
Good to know
Fuel costs roughly €20 for four hours; bring cash or card. A €500 deposit secures the boat—refunded on return in good order. Optional cleaning costs €20 daily if needed. Children's seats available; prams and pushchairs are fine for embarkation. Public transport serves Can Pastilla if you prefer not to drive.
