Embark on a unique journey across the Mediterranean aboard a historic sailboat, the oldest active ship with a Spanish flag. For seven days you will sail through some of the waters richest in marine life in the western Mediterranean, in search of the large cetaceans that come to this region every summer to feed.

The expedition covers areas such as the Gulf of Leon, Liguria, Corsica and the northern Balearic Sea, where deep-sea outcrops create an exceptional ecosystem that attracts species such as the common whale, the second largest animal on the planet, as well as sperm whales, calderones, beeps and different species of dolphins.

More than just a trip, this experience proposes to experience the sea from within. There are no passengers on board: all the participants are part of the crew, collaborating in maneuvers, guards and ship tasks while learning about traditional navigation and observation of marine fauna.

We'll fish to eat fresh fish. Arts such as trolling or background flyer and others will allow us to stock up on food and enjoy the spectacle of fishing, as well as a good table.

Sailing is mainly done by sail, seeking the best conditions for sighting. On calm days, the horizon becomes a stage where a fin, a breath or a jump can reveal the presence of whales or dolphins. With the help of binoculars and the guidance of the crew, the group approaches with respect to observe their behavior in freedom.

During the voyage there will also be time to enjoy the rhythm of the sea: sharing meals on board, practicing traditional fishing, watching sunrises and sunsets, and disconnecting from everyday noise to reconnect with nature.

This trip is an invitation to experience the Mediterranean in an authentic way: sailing, observing and being part of a maritime experience that combines adventure, nature and tradition.

  • Plan
    The expedition begins in the port of Palamós, on the Costa Brava. After being welcomed on board and a brief introduction to life on the boat and to whale watching, the sailboat sets sail for the open Mediterranean.



    During the voyage, the sailboat explores the sector between the Gulf of Leon, the island of Corsica and the Ligurian coast. In this region, underwater currents and canyons concentrate a large amount of food, attracting species such as common whales, sperm whales, calderones and different species of dolphins.



    The route is not rigid: it adapts to wind and sea conditions and possible sightings, allowing you to explore the areas with the highest marine fauna activity while enjoying traditional sailing.



    The landings, if any, would take place on one of the coasts bathed by this maritime area. Normally it would be in the Hyères archipelago or on the west coast of Corsica.



    After several days of sailing and observing cetaceans in the open sea, the trip concludes returning back to the port of Palamós, completing a circular journey through one of the most fascinating marine ecosystems in the Mediterranean.
