Sail the Hidden Coves of Costa Brava: 4-Hour Velero from Blanes

Q: Where do we board?

Boarding departs from the port at Carrer Esplanada del Port, 11, 17300 Blanes, Girona, Spain—please arrive 15 minutes early.

From the deck of a single-masted velero one hour out of Blanes, the Costa Brava unspools in a series of sheltered coves and craggy headlands—an intimate coastal world of wind, pine-scented cliffs and clear, turquoise water. This four-hour sail, departing from the port at Carrer Esplanada del Port, 11, 17300 Blanes, Girona, Spain, gives you a concentrated taste of that shoreline in a relaxed, family-friendly format. Two veleros sail together on every trip, carrying up to 22 people between them and sharing the same route and anchorages. You can choose to glide under sail and let the Skipper do the tide work, jump off for a swim in a glassy caleta, strap on a mask and snorkel over Posidonia meadows, or paddle a SUP along the face of a low cliff. The boats are equipped with an exterior shower, a head, and a sound system, and the crew serves a light aperitivo with drinks so lounging on deck feels effortlessly Mediterranean. Itinerary stops are flexible but typically include Sa Forcanera, Sant Francesc, Treumal and Santa Cristina—small bays carved from ancient metamorphic rock that drops abruptly into deep water. Expect steep, pine-covered headlands, exposed rock strata, and pockets of sandy seabed framed by scrub and maritime pine. The water here runs a range of blues and is remarkably clear; the marine life is typical of the western Mediterranean and you may spot schools of small fish and the ribbons of seagrass that stabilize the sand. Why this outing stands out: it’s a short, low-commitment way to experience Costa Brava’s best coastal features without a full-day charter. Sailing in tandem creates a convivial group dynamic while still allowing quieter spaces aboard each vessel. The operator accepts service animals and can accommodate guests who are blind or deaf, though boats are not wheelchair accessible. All children must be supervised, and the crew enforces safety briefings and life vest use when required. Practicalities are simple: arrive 15 minutes early for check-in; the ride lasts four hours and does not extend for late arrivals. Bring sun protection, a towel, and motion-sickness remedies if you’re prone; footwear with grip helps when boarding. Dogs are allowed if they’re comfortable at sea and owners clean up after them. Whether you’re after a splash of snorkel, a lazy sunlit sail, or a quick coastal reconnaissance before exploring the hinterland, this four-hour velero outing from Blanes is a clear, efficient way to feel the Mediterranean and sample the geological character of the Costa Brava in one easy afternoon. Perfect for couples, families and small groups seeking a coastal half-day that balances activity and relaxation; book early in high season to secure preferred sailing times, special requests with the crew ahead.
