About the experience

Discover the wild beauty of the Costa Brava from the water and enjoy a day that feels far removed from the crowds. Departing from Palamós, this relaxed boating experience invites you to explore dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters and hidden Mediterranean coves at your own pace.

After a short briefing at the marina, you’ll set off along one of the most scenic stretches of coastline in Catalonia. The Costa Brava is famous for its rugged landscapes, turquoise bays and small beaches that are often difficult to reach by land. From the boat, the scenery unfolds naturally as you cruise past rocky headlands, quiet inlets and picturesque fishing villages.

Since there is no fixed route, the day is completely flexible. The itinerary is personalised and discussed directly with the owner before departure so you can shape the experience around what interests you most. Whether you want to focus on swimming, relaxing or discovering different corners of the coast, the boat gives you the freedom to explore.

You may decide to navigate north towards charming spots like Tamariu, or drop anchor near beautiful coves such as Cala Estreta. Along the way, there are countless opportunities to stop, swim and enjoy the Mediterranean.

Typical experiences during the trip may include:
- Cruising along the spectacular cliffs and coastline of Costa Brava
- Anchoring in quiet coves to swim in clear blue water
- Relaxing on board while taking in the surrounding landscapes
- Discovering beaches and natural spots only accessible by sea

The boat itself is designed for easy coastal navigation and comfortable days on the water. Its size and shallow draft allow you to approach secluded coves and anchor close to the shore, creating a more intimate way to explore the coastline.

What truly sets this experience apart is the simplicity and freedom it offers. With a well-maintained boat, excellent local knowledge and consistently positive feedback from guests, the focus is on providing a smooth, enjoyable day at sea from start to finish.

Please note that final cleaning (€50) is paid directly at the port

    Three things: 1) Be careful you must read the description carefully, it was a boat without a license while it is classified on the site that it is a boat with a license 2) when you return from the rental, he does not let you fill up with gas… you leave the boat at the port come back to the office to recover your deposit and then it applies their coefficient to pay for the gasoline without even looking at what you have consumed so really limited on this point. 3) you can't go where you want it will give you a max point on your Google which will determine the maximum distance of your tour For having rented several boats, I find these three points a bit limited since you will discover it at the exact moment of picking up the boat. For the Rest welcome and service rather nice

    Very kind and good plan to do. It would still be good to have some basic notions to know how to anchor, they explained a little to us but everything quickly. For the rest everything is super good, very fast and friendly, a very good experience

    Ivan is the fucking crack. We hit another guy and he managed the issue with the owner for four duros. As a result of the blow, our boat stopped and in 10 minutes came to look for us. Very professional

    I booked a boat through Click&Boat app, paid for the order in full. My contract specifies a Trimarch 53 boat with a 40 horsepower engine. I checked with the owner about the power, he confirmed. When we arrived at the port, they gave us a completely different boat, much smaller and with a 15 horsepower engine, while they also wanted me to pay an extra 50€. When I started to ask for the boat that I have in the contract, they told me that there was a failure in the system and the program gave out this boat, and if you don’t like it, then leave. We were told that we were not allowed to drive another boat, but my husband has a boating license. Complete disrespect, ruined day and mood!!! We had to take a smaller boat for the same money, it is not equipped at all, as indicated in the description. I’ll never recommend this company!!! Totally deceivers and absolutely no respect for customers!!!

    We had a great time on the water. The boat was clean and ready to go when we arrived. Only it was listed as a boat for 6 people… but if you want to have a bit of breathing room and space, 4 people is the maximum. As a group of 4 we can recommand not to go higher than 4 adults on this boat. Side note: a second anchor would come in handy to fix the boat in small spaces or allonside other boats when docking at a beach. It was a pitty that there was a lot of wind because the boat was a bit to small to endure the high waves. We had to return early back to Port… but the rental company didn’t offer us some sort of discount. But then again, there weren’t obliged to. We booked via Click&Boat. It said on this platform that the boat had a 40hp engine, but in real life it is 15hp. And the Deposit is listed in the platform at €500, but at the boat rental they asked for a €600 Deposit. Maybe a bit of an update is required. It is overal a really good boat to explore the coastline. It is expensive, but you can expect it to be in a tourist area. The only thing that chocked me a bit was the fee fo fuel. I read that it was like €20-€35… but it was a lot higher than that. Maybe an indication on how much it would cost can help tourists in the future. I hope you’ll have a great time when you’ll rent this boat in the future ☺️
