Family Trip to the Côte Vermeille...

Sea Excursion, Shared Sailing in Banyuls-sur-Mer

Please note: My boat is exclusively available for shared sailing, meaning with a captain. Therefore, please do not contact me for rental requests.

It is certified for 10 adult passengers, but I limit the number of adults to 5 plus myself for safety and passenger comfort.

If you wish to explore the Banyuls-sur-Mer & Cerbère Marine Reserve and its coastline, I welcome you aboard the Blu-Blu 66, a 7-meter boat in near-new condition, having been regularly renovated and perfectly equipped for family leisure activities, sure to delight both children and parents. It can accommodate a family of 2 adults and a maximum of 4 children, or 4 adults and 2 children plus the captain, although it is certified for 10 passengers, to ensure everyone can fully enjoy the boat's space. For other group sizes, please contact me for advice and suggestions. It offers the joy of enjoying swimming in open water with the family, freediving (also known as apnea), snorkeling (snorkeling) to observe the seabed and underwater species, with the guaranteed presence of many fish: groupers, brown meagre, sea bream, bass, white seabream, salema porgy, barracuda, saddled seabream, damselfish, starfish, etc., like in a natural aquarium. There's also the opportunity to take underwater photos in the Banyuls-sur-Mer Cerbère Marine Reserve, and to dock in pretty little coves of the Catalan Côte Vermeille, or in the superb little ports of Port-Vendres or Collioure, or in the Paulilles cove or the Bay of Peyrefite. I'm heading out to sea to introduce you to the sensations of freediving or snorkeling, which is accessible to everyone. We'll explore the magnificent underwater reserve of Banyuls-sur-Mer and Cerbère, sail along the wild coast southwards, and then anchor in Cerbère for swimming, diving, relaxing, reading, sunbathing, fishing, and lunch on the boat's table. You'll have the opportunity to pilot the boat (it's recommended to have your coastal skipper's license with you) and share my experience on all aspects of coastal navigation. Fuel is included for the trip.

The meticulously maintained boat is equipped with a GPS/fishfinder, three large lockers for belongings and coolers, a large sunpad with three cushions at the bow, a canvas sun awning covering the entire deck plus two removable sun sails, a freshwater shower for daytime use, a fold-down table for an unforgettable picnic lunch at the bow or stern, a custom-made five-step ladder for easy access to the sea and the boat, side railings for child safety, two rod holders, two pool noodles and two swim boards, two viewing buoys, an underwater telescope for viewing the marine world from the boat, masks and fins, shorty wetsuits in various sizes (please inquire), a waterproof box and two waterproof pouches, and of course, a complete and inspected safety kit including children's and adults' life jackets and a first-aid kit.

The trip is confirmed the day before, weather permitting, to ensure a great outing.

I also guarantee the care of passengers prone to seasickness, and for this reason, the boat is non-smoking.

Masks, fins, shorty wetsuits, fishing rods, and spearguns are available for loan; please contact me for details.

A customizable outing, such as a birthday celebration (with a gift included), fishing trip, spearfishing excursion, or scuba diving trip, can be arranged according to your wishes.

Please contact me through the website's messaging system.

Important: My phone number will only be given to you after booking, and if you send me yours, it will be masked.

See you soon!

    Thank you, Louis, our co-pilot, for giving us an unforgettable day ??. He showed us some magnificent and unique spots on the Vermeille coast, diving with just masks, snorkels, and fins to discover fish and starfish (extraordinary). A small picnic on the boat in a small cove, then relaxing. Louis loves sharing his passion for freediving and knows all the spots to swim with sea bream, groupers, and all other mollusks. An experience to be repeated without moderation. Eric & Laurence

    An absolutely wonderful day on the water with a great captain! Great communication before the trip and a perfect itinerary on the day. This will Definitely be a great memory for us and our children. As an added bonus, we all overcame the language barrier - our French was limited but our Spanish a bit better and Louis was very accommodating of our efforts.

    We spent a wonderful day with my family, accompanied by Louis. He showed us some magnificent sites, both in terms of landscapes and snorkeling, and we were able to share a little fishing time with the children, which was very enjoyable. Louis is very welcoming, attentive, and shares his knowledge and passion for the seabed and its biodiversity. We recommend him. Thank you.

    Superb day spent with Louis on his boat. It's not just a simple sea trip... Louis shares his passions with us throughout the day: diving in the Banyuls nature reserve, fishing for Saint Lucia snails and abalone. Expert advice on navigation. A beauty festival that respects nature and also in complete safety. We are carefully keeping Louis' contact details for a future outing not to be missed under any circumstances!

    Excellent outing at sea with Captain Louis. Good humor and sharing are the key words on board. We had an incredible time, Louis adapts to the desires, to the situation so that everyone has fun during the outing. Little initiated to snorkeling in the open sea, I felt completely confident. Louis took us to the most beautiful spots of the reserve and shared his passion with us: on the boat, in the water. My spouse loved taking the controls of the boat with Louis' much appreciated advice for good feelings on board. We thank him very much for having been able to adapt to our situation (my spouse is paraplegic) and for allowing us to experience this superb moment at sea! Travel with Louis with confidence and safety. Let yourself be guided, he thinks of everything! We recommend it without hesitation! Thank you Louis for this wonderful day.

    Louis is a passionate person and very respectful of the ecosystem that he shares with enthusiasm. We had a great day where we were able to observe extraordinary wildlife thanks to him. He gives very good advice and appreciates initiating the novices that we are. It was with great pleasure that we were able to learn while having a magical time in the marine reserve. We need more people like him for these magical sites to continue. The boat is comfortable and very well maintained If you want to spend an authentic day, closer to nature with a person in love with the sea, do not hesitate.

    Excellent day spent at sea with Louis, a lover of the sea and its preservation, taking great care to show us the best underwater swimming spots and to introduce us to fishing. We will return without any hesitation since we were on the same wavelength in terms of responsible navigation.

    Louis is a fantastic person. He immediately succeeded in putting us at ease. He is a very calm person, in love with the sea and respectful of the flora and fauna. He knows the surroundings perfectly so that you can discover this magnificent playground that is the Mediterranean Sea. Thank you again Louis for this fabulous day and see you soon I hope.

    Our boat trip with Louis was really perfect! From making an appointment to returning to port, everything was easy, pleasant and educational to boot! Louis is very welcoming, knows the surroundings perfectly and is also calm and reassuring. We sailed, swam in the reserve and in a beautiful cove, we had lunch on the boat and even caught some fish. The boat is very practical with lots of storage, a Bimini that already covers the boat well and additional protective sails to protect the boat entirely from the sun during lunch. We were 3 adults and 1 child of 4 and the boat was very comfortable. We highly recommend Louis for a most enjoyable day on the boat, we were all delighted as well as our little one who discovered the sea and fishing thanks to Louis! A big thank you Louis! Hoping we will have the opportunity to meet again!
