Setting Sail from Porroig Beach

The day began with the sun casting its golden glow over Porroig Beach, a quaint pebble-strewn cove that felt like a hidden gem. As I arrived, the morning air was filled with the gentle lapping of waves against the moored boats. Parking was a breeze, and the atmosphere was already buzzing with anticipation. I was greeted warmly and whisked away by motorboat to our sailboat, a vessel that promised adventure and tranquility in equal measure.

Our skipper, a young Italian with a lineage steeped in sailing prestige, welcomed us aboard. With a nod to his family’s Olympic coaching legacy, he exuded confidence and charm. As we settled in, the boat felt like a floating oasis, ready to carry us away from the mundane and into the embrace of the Mediterranean.

Discovering Hidden Treasures

Our first destination was the serene waters near Les Salinas, just a stone’s throw from Experimental Beach. Here, the ocean beckoned with its crystal clarity, inviting us to dive in and explore. I couldn’t resist the call of the sea, grabbing a snorkel and paddleboard to immerse myself in the vibrant underwater world. The tranquility of the surroundings was a balm for the soul, a reminder of why I chase these oceanic adventures.

As we sailed towards Formentera, the horizon stretched endlessly, a canvas painted with the hues of the sea and sky. Our skipper guided us to Platja De Salga, a spot that rivaled the beauty of Mexico’s Sian Kaan, albeit on a smaller, more intimate scale. The option to pay a little extra for a prime anchorage was a no-brainer, offering us a slice of paradise that was worth every euro.

A Day to Remember

The day unfolded with a leisurely rhythm, each moment savored like a fine wine. We were ferried to the beach by motorboat, where the sand was warm beneath our feet and the sun kissed our skin. With provisions in tow, we enjoyed a picnic by the sea, sharing stories and laughter with fellow travelers. The camaraderie on board was infectious, a testament to the shared joy of discovery.

As the sun began its descent, we sailed back to Porroig, the boat cutting through the water with grace. The journey back was a time for reflection, the memories of the day etched into my mind like a cherished photograph. This wasn’t just a sailing trip; it was a celebration of the simple pleasures that life by the sea offers. For anyone seeking a blend of adventure and relaxation, this sailing adventure is a must-do.
