Private boat tour Perpignan: Catalan Coast with skipper

Sail past Collioure and the rocky coast, then swim in the coves where the water meets the cliffs.

A private boat tour from Saint-Cyprien along the Catalan Coast near Perpignan, with a professional skipper steering you past Collioure, Cape Bear and the Anse de Paulilles for a half-day or full-day excursion. The boat, skipper, fuel and insurance are all included. You choose the half-day slot (morning or afternoon) or the full day, and the skipper handles navigation while you decide where to linger and swim.

The experience

You board at Saint-Cyprien and head out with a skipper who knows this stretch of coast. The boat holds up to six passengers, so it stays intimate: no crowds, no schedule beyond what you want. A half-day runs four hours (morning 09:00–13:00 or afternoon 14:00–18:00). A full day stretches from 09:00 to 17:00. The skipper navigates past Collioure, the rocky headland at Cape Bear, and into the Anse de Paulilles, where the water is clear enough to see the seabed and the coves narrow enough to feel hidden from the world.

Swimming breaks happen where you choose. The skipper knows the spots with the best visibility and the gentlest entry. A refreshment is offered partway through. The boat, fuel, skipper service and insurance all come with the booking, so there are no surprises when you arrive. The only things to arrange separately are meals beyond the offered refreshment and any special mooring fees if you request a specific stop.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I choose when we swim, or does the skipper decide?

The skipper knows the coast and the conditions, but you decide where to stop and how long to stay. Swimming breaks happen at spots the skipper recommends (places with good visibility and safe entry), and you're in control of when and where.

What is Collioure like when we sail past it?

Collioure is a small harbor town known for its painters and sits on the rocky Catalan Coast just north of Saint-Cyprien. From the water you see the harbor, the old fortifications and the cliffs that draw artists to the area.

Is the half-day morning or afternoon better for the light?

The morning slot runs 09:00–13:00 and the afternoon runs 14:00–18:00. Morning light is typically clearer for swimming and seeing the seabed. Afternoon light warms the cliffs. The skipper can advise based on the day's conditions when you book.

What happens if the weather turns bad?

The skipper monitors conditions and will advise you before departure if the sea state makes the trip unsafe. Contact the operator directly about their cancellation and rescheduling policy for rough days.

Do we need any experience to book, or is this safe for first-time sailors?

The skipper handles all navigation and seamanship. The boat is suitable for all fitness levels, and you're welcome aboard whether you've sailed before or never set foot on a boat. Infants must sit on an adult's lap.
