Pepita - Oyster party | Boat Tour in L'Estartit |

Read the full experience

Nestled along the rugged coastline of Montgrí Natural Park and the Medes Islands, the Pepita Oyster Party offers a rare blend of culinary delight and marine scenery. Every Wednesday, participants board BRAVOLA BOATS SL for an immersive experience that combines the fresh flavors of local oysters with the serenity of this protected marine area. As the boat gently rocks on the sparkling Mediterranean waters, guests are treated to four fresh oysters, each briny and plump, perfectly paired with selected wines. Surrounded by striking cliffs, sea stacks, and the crystalline waters of the Medes Islands, this event provides a sensory feast for both the palate and the eyes. What makes this experience standout is its exclusivity and setting. Montgrí Natural Park, established in 1983, is renowned for its dramatic limestone formations and rich biodiversity, including vibrant seabeds and seabirds that soar overhead. The Medes Islands—an archipelago of seven rocky islets—are a designated marine reserve, ensuring pristine waters and abundant marine life. This connection to nature amplifies the pleasure of sipping wine while overlooking one of the coast's most breathtaking vistas. Participants should come prepared for a leisurely cruise with a taste for adventure and good taste. The event offers an intimate look into Catalonia’s maritime heritage while enjoying local delicacies in a tranquil setting that few get to experience. Whether you're a seafood lover or simply seeking a memorable, scenic outing, the Pepita Oyster Party at Montgrí promises an authentic taste of the Mediterranean's vibrant coastal culture.
