WHERE WILL WE GO?
The routes depend on the status of the sea, the type of boat, the duration of the ride and the client’s desires.
In the 2 and 3 hour sailing trips we enjoy the views of the city and usually stop at some point on the coast (Badalona or deep into the sea) to have a drink and jump into the water if it is season. From 4 hours on, we can reach the Maresme area (Montgat beach, Masnou, etc.).
With the yachts we can sail longer distances.
