100% authentic experience - Incredible to see so many dolphins so close to Barcelona! It has been a luxury to sail on an old-fashioned sailboat, calmly waiting to spot cetaceans, respecting their space. Sergi, the captain, and Julia, an expert in sightings, create the perfect environment, they are very close, they make you participate in sailing, they explain the different marine fauna and they leave you with binoculars giving you the necessary tricks to get the most out of it. the exit. And the apple juice with ginger that they served us was delicious. We went on the first Sunday in June with our two children and we were able to see dozens of bottlenose dolphins, it was spectacular to see them up close jumping two by two in unison. My daughter was lucky enough to see the manta ray that suddenly appeared a few meters from the sailboat. It is a 100% recommended experience.

A fantastic and unforgettable experience - It has been an unforgettable, wonderful experience, we have seen dolphins, even a swordfish jumping, seeing the dolphins coming to the surface to breathe and feel their breathing, all in silence, it has been something magical. The skipper of the boat, Sergi, and the biologist Julia have treated us very well, pampering even the smallest detail, with a very delicious drink to prevent seasickness, they made sure that we were not cold by providing us with warm clothing, if it rains they put up an awning so It is a problem and their dog Nirvana also helped by standing on the side of the boat where the dolphins appeared, warning beautifully, very aware of the protection of marine life, they removed some waste that was floating in the water to avoid being ingested by the animals. I recommend it 100 x 100, we will definitely repeat this experience.

To not lose sight - It is a highly recommended experience, you enjoy the ride on a boat with personality and history, and if you are lucky and can see, as in our case, pilot whales, moonfish and beautifully colored jellyfish, it is already formidable. All in a good atmosphere and with magnificent weather, I will definitely repeat! Thank you very much Sergi and Julia!

best whale watching ever - This was the best whale watching I’ve ever experienced! The boat is unique and an experience itself, the crew is a bunch of lovely people and we saw a lot of different species. Best crew member was the dog that was constantly checking on everyone and was the best sailing partner ever. I want to come back again! Words can’t describe how happy this made me
