Cadaqués swimming from Roses: Boat with slide and beach stop

Swim from a boat with a slide instead of fighting the crowds at the beach

A three-hour boat trip from Roses to Cadaqués and Cap de Creus Natural Park, with a one-hour swimming stop at Sa Conca beach in Cadaqués Bay. You swim and sunbathe from the boat, use the onboard slide, and listen to a multilingual audio guide. The boat has a full bar and restroom on board.

Step-by-step itinerary

Boat trip from Roses to Cadaqués

• Set sail from Roses
• Enjoy views of Cap Norfeu
• Visit Cadaqués Bay from the sea
• Stop at Sa Conca beach
• Swim and bathe from boat
• Use boat slide into sea
• Relax and sunbathe on board
• Enjoy music and bar service

The experience

You board in Roses and sail toward Cadaqués, passing the rugged cliffs of Cap de Creus as the audio guide (available in English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Catalan, Dutch and Russian) explains what you're seeing. The boat itself is the base: you're not anchored at a beach watching from shore, but floating in Sa Conca cove in the heart of Cadaqués Bay with an hour to move between the water and the deck.

The stop at Sa Conca is built around swimming. You jump in from the boat, climb back up the slide into the sea, float on deck between dips, or stay dry and sunbathe while others swim. A bar serves drinks and snacks throughout, and the music and crowd energy on board are part of the rhythm of the day. It's not a quiet contemplative trip. The boat has a restroom and is wheelchair accessible, and photography service is included.

Departure times vary by option: you can leave from Roses Center or Santa Margarita. Both routes cover the same water and the same stop. The difference is where you start your morning.
