Sail Les Illes Medes: Full-Day Captain-Led Charter from L'Estartit

Off the sunbaked promenade of L'Estartit, a four-hour glide beyond the breakwater opens onto a Mediterranean laboratory of blue: the Montgrí Natural Park and the Les Illes Medes archipelago. Horizon E54 - 4h con capitán is a private, captain-led day charter that hands you the map and the clock—within reason—and lets you choose the rhythm: a swim in a hidden cala, a snorkel over Posidonia meadows, a slow cup of coffee watching the cliffs.

Meet at Bravola Boats on the Moll Comercial (Pg. Marítim, s/n, 17257 L'Estartit, Girona, Spain), climb aboard with up to twelve friends and let an experienced skipper read the tide, the wind and the water’s moods. The coastline here alternates limestone cliffs, pebble beaches and sheltered coves; the Illes Medes are a cluster of rocky islets where underwater life is dense and visible, thanks to protected-status fisheries and clear water.

What makes this charter special is flexibility plus local knowledge. Instead of a fixed itinerary you and your skipper agree on stops—secret coves tucked beneath Montgrí’s serrated limestone, shallow reefs where common Mediterranean fish gather, and submerged cliffs that plummet into cobalt depths. Posidonia oceanica beds stabilize sand and host an array of life; watch for damselfish, grouper, and occasional rays gliding below. Above water, Audouin’s gulls and cormorants wheel around the islets.

This is as much an active day as you want it to be. Snorkel equipment and time to swim mean you can explore underwater canyons; bring reef-safe sunscreen and a mesh bag for your gear. If you prefer to stay dry, the boat provides panoramic perches for photographing coastline textures and light across the archipelago.

For visitors who care about place, the trip connects to a small coastal community—L'Estartit began as a fishing town and still scents of salt and seafood—and to a protected marine environment whose health depends on low-impact visits. The captain-led format minimizes environmental disturbance while opening access to private-feeling coves that larger ferries cannot reach.

Practicalities: the charter is private, up to 12 people, and tailored to group pace; meet at Bravola Boats’ Moll Comercial. Whether you want focused snorkeling over Posidonia meadows, a day of sun and swimming in calm bays, or a slow coast-hugging cruise with local stories from your skipper, Horizon E54 offers a polished way to experience the Montgrí coast and Les Illes Medes on your terms.

Plan for sea conditions and dress in layers; mornings are often glassy while afternoon breezes build. Confirm check-in time with Bravola Boats and discuss accessibility or special requests when you book. Small-group charters like this preserve quiet bays and give flexible itineraries—perfect for families, groups of friends, or anyone who prefers a private rhythm on the Mediterranean today.
