About This Experience
Llafranc is one of the most beautiful villages on the Costa Brava - a small, elegant bay framed by pine-covered cliffs and turquoise water. The best way to explore it is from the sea. Our private boat trip departing from Llafranc Port takes you along some of the most spectacular coastline in the Mediterranean: rocky headlands, secluded coves you can only reach by water, and crystal-clear anchorages where you can swim, snorkel and simply drift in the silence. With a professional captain at the helm, you don't need any sailing experience - just bring your swimwear and a sense of adventure. Whether you want to swim in the emerald waters below Cap Roig, anchor in the shade of the cliffs at Cala Pedrosa, or simply take in the drama of the Costa Brava from the water, the captain will guide you to the best spots of the day. The trip runs for four hours and can be arranged as a morning or afternoon session depending on availability.
