About this tour
Take the helm of a 14-tonne sailing vessel along Spain's coast, working the sails yourself before anchoring in clear waters for snorkelling. This four-hour trip accommodates up to eight people and includes hotel transfers, a vegetarian lunch with wine and beer, and all snorkelling kit. The pace suits varying fitness levels, though children under six aren't recommended due to boat movement and water safety.
Highlights
- Actually sail the boat yourself, not just observe
- Steer a proper 14-tonne vessel with skipper guidance
- Snorkel in designated calm anchorages
- Stand-up paddleboard included for exploring shallow waters
- Vegetarian lunch, wine, beer and fresh fruit provided
- Hotel collection and drop-off
- Intimate groups capped at eight people
What to expect
You'll meet at your hotel for pickup, then head to the marina where you'll board the sailing yacht. The skipper briefs you on essentials, then hands over steering as you leave harbour under sail. Expect hands-on involvement—trimming sails, adjusting course, feeling the boat respond to wind and sea. After an hour or two of sailing, you'll anchor in sheltered waters. Snorkel gear goes on and you explore the underwater landscape at your own pace, with the option to try SUP if you'd rather stay dry. Lunch happens aboard, casual and unhurried.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and a light layer; wind cools quickly on water. The boat moves constantly, so secure loose items. Public buses serve the marina if you prefer independent travel. Vegetarian lunch covers dietary needs, but mention allergies during booking. Water entry involves a small ladder—ensure you're comfortable with this.
