Mar a la Vista - Costa Brava Info and Reviews

Fantastic experience: Absolute must if you are in Calella de Palafrugell. You need this boat trip to see Calella d P and surroundings from the water! We did it on 11 Sept 24 and it was great! Captain Sergi and first officer Julia know every rock in the water and on land, the nice bays that you can only reach on water. They read the waves to make the trip comfortable and include some sailing as well! The boat is a perfect mixture of nostalgia, safety and comfort. The place where we swam was a dream! Next time here we will surely do it again!

Fantastic experience: A very nice trip. Very friendly and open team. The captain also rescues lost glasses from the deep seabed. Hero of the day. Would happily go again!

Fantastic experience: A perfect sunset at sea! We were very eager to go sailing with the Mar a la Vista family and we managed to get a spot for the sunset trip, and it was a fantastic experience! We made a stop to swim and snorkel and then another one in front of the Illes Formigues to watch the sunset. We will definitely go again for a longer trip, we loved sharing the ride with Sergi, Julia, and Nirvana, you are very good people! Thank you very much!!

Fantastic experience: Our second experience aboard the Ría del Ferrol, the first on the Costa Brava and, once again, a wonderful day. We did the full day, touring the beautiful coves around Calella de Palafrugell, some of which only have access by sea. Anchoring in paradise-like spots, with the experience of Captain Sergi who knows how to choose the most convenient corner according to the wind. The sailboat is fantastic and very comfortable, and you also have available a paddleboard, goggles, and all the necessary equipment for snorkeling. The captain and Julia, the marine biologist who acts as 'second-in-command', explain where you are and show you hidden corners, micro coves, caves, passages, and all the richness that the sea of the Costa Brava offers. We had an excellent soupy rice on board. I can't think of a better way to spend a day. Absolutely recommendable and repeatable!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely wonderful authentic sailing experience with the most friendly wonderful crew! Thank you so much for a memorable experience.

Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience! We had a group of 9 people, ranging in ages from 70 to 5 years old and we all had the best time!!! Sergi & Julia (and trusty dog Nirvana) were absolutely brilliant from start to finish in making us comfortable, giving us information and having lots of fun. They involved us in the raising of the sails and also took myself and my two kids for a paddle board around the caves to show us some marine life up close! My kids absolutely loved it! We have been coming to Costa Brava for 5 years and this is the best experience we have come across! We will definitely be back to Sergi when we are back in Costa Brava! Thanks very much for a great day.

Fantastic experience: Sergi & Julia were excellent hosts for an afternoon family sailboat excursion. Professional, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, they took great care of our group which included both young children as well as relatives in their 80s and 90s. We stopped to snorkel too! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: An ideal day!!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We went whale watching and loved it. Since the state of the sea was not optimal for going out to sea and seeing animals, we started the day going to various coves and caves in Begur where we were able to snorkel. While we were waiting for the sea to improve. And then we went out to sea. It was an experience that we will surely repeat. Sergi and Júlia were very attentive. And Nirvana was the most caring on the boat. Great knowledge of the sea and marine life, adapting to the needs of the group and the state of the sea. We recommend it!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Thanks Sergi & Julia for the fantastic boat tour!

Fantastic experience: A highlight of our trip! We snorkeled with schools of fish, explored the 'Russian pool,' and saw hidden parts of the dramatic coastline - all gracefully guided by Serge and Julia. Don’t miss this low key adventure with lovely hosts.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Sergi and Julia for the warm welcome and for this magnificent boat ride. The landscapes are splendid and the swim in the sea was simply dreamy. We had a great time. Dessier Family.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Our family of two adults & two teenagers had a fab morning with Julia & Sergi, they had lots of interesting information to share about the beautiful coasts around Calella, took us to some lovely spots, and were so accommodating and encouraging to our teenagers to jump into the water and enjoy! This was the best experience of our holiday this year, and will definitely do it again when we come back.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous trip from Calleya de Pallafrugell with 2 stops for swimming and snorkeling in lovely coves. Sergi and Julia were perfect hosts. Definitely recommend as a lovely way to see the coast in a beautiful boat.

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Sergey and Julia made sure we had a fantastic trip. We couldn’t have imagined anything better, they knew so much about the area, the boat is fantastically maintained, Sergey took the boys out climbing on islands and Julia took them diving in the secret swimming pools. They made fantastic memories for all of us. The trip was the highlight of our holiday, thank you both.

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I did the three-hour excursion on the 1949 sailboat, and it's amazing. A very authentic experience with Sergi and Julia, who couldn't be more nice and have better vibes. 100% recommendable and definitely worth repeating!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: It has been an experience: a day trip to sail with visits and swimming in various coves and a delicious soupy rice on board… but the best part was the friendliness of Sergi and Julia. We will definitely repeat!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A magnificent day of sailing and bathing in crystal clear waters in good company. A very family-oriented company that loves what they do and puts all their care into it. The anti-seasickness juice at departure and the appetizer at the Formigues Islands was a detail that came just right. We will repeat. 100% recommendable. Thank you very much Sergi, Eva, Júlia, the little dog Nirvana, and little Joe!

Fantastic experience: I did 2 cruises, one private group with friends all day with calella rice! An incredible experience, ideal for swimming, visiting the Costa Brava from the sea (the best way to get to know it and experience it!) spending quality time with friends, sharing an unmatched lunch and after-meal! The second experience was an open group at sunset! Highly recommended to swim with the last rays of sun and enjoy the architecture of the typical villages with the golden lights of the night! a unique and memorable sight! Thank you Sergi, Nirvana, and Julia for making both experiences so wonderful! We felt at home (on board!) A big hug, Carmen TM

Fantastic experience: Most beautiful experience for me and my daughter on our holiday. The authentic ship takes you to unexpected places and the captain and Julia are so nice and helpful. We will surely come again ‍☠️

Fantastic experience: Superb boat, lovely crew. Both the little ones and the big ones loved it!
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Classic wooden boat with large sails captained by Sergi. A guy as friendly as he is empathetic who made us have an exceptional afternoon! There was a bit of wind when we set sail but Sergi took us to coves that he knew would be sheltered from the wind due to their location. With a zodiac, paddle surf board, and snorkeling gear, you won't miss a thing. Would definitely do it again!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We went on a 3 hour sailing trip. It was great. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The captain and his colleague obviously do this out of passion for the boat and for the sea.

Fantastic experience: We really enjoyed a great morning’s sailing with the crew of Mar a la Vista Costa Brava. They had a lot of local knowledge which they shared in an easy, casual way. They took us around the coast to some gorgeous swimming/snorkelling spots. The sea was crystal clear. The area around Port Bo and Calella is beautiful, but it was a real treat to experience it by boat. We were 2 adults and 2 kids but I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone, even individuals, as it is such a relaxed, inclusive and friendly atmosphere on board.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous. Went with a private tour as two families together.

Fantastic experience: We really enjoyed the cruise. The location, the environment, and the bathrooms were only improved by the wonderful Boat and the fantastic hosts. Can’t wait to do it again!

Fantastic experience: An unforgettable experience, wonderful treatment, and a very family-like atmosphere. An excellent crew with great biological knowledge. 100% highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Better impossible. We did a mixed outing to celebrate a birthday. First, we searched for a successful sighting of cetaceans, a large group of bottlenose dolphins. Then we anchored in a unique place on the Costa Brava, where we enjoyed a refreshing swim, accompanied by hundreds of fish of different shapes and colors. Cake, candles, music, and a unique family atmosphere. Thank you Sergi and Júlia!!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We had a very pleasant day. Sergi and Júlia make an extraordinary couple. They are attentive at all times to the needs of each person on the boat. An unforgettable experience. Thank you very much for being who you are. Keep it up.
