We will sail towards Tossa de Mar. We will pass through Santa Cristina, Fenals, the castle of Lloret, Cala Canyelles, Cala Llevadó, Porto Pi… If the state of the sea allows it, we will enter the Contrabando or Pop Antoní cave. This northbound navigation lasts approximately 1 hour.

Next we will anchor in Porto Pi, one of the most virgin coves in Tossa de Mar to do snorkeling and a swim in one of the most beautiful coves on the Costa Brava. The stop for a swim, an aperitif and a toast with cava lasts approximately 1 hour. When you return on board, the skipper will have a small table prepared for you with a simple aperitif and cava. We will toast with Brut Nature cava on the boat.

During the return we will go more direct, away from the coast to admire the sky line and the cliffs. Accompanied by your favorite music, we will dance and admire the landscape during the journey back to the port of Blanes, which lasts approximately 1 hour. At the end we will return to the point of origin.

Curiosities of the tourist boat route

The smuggling route is one of the most popular activities in the Blanes area, as it allows you to explore the Costa Brava from a unique perspective. One of the most interesting parts of the route are the Contraband Caves, which were used to hide and transport contraband during the era of piracy.
