Cap de Creus Natural Park: Private Boat Exploration

Glide by private boat through Spain's easternmost cape, a UNESCO-protected wilderness of sculpted rock, hidden coves, and crystalline waters. This is the Costa Brava at its most raw and magnificent — inaccessible by road, utterly unspoiled.

What to expect

Board your private vessel at Roses marina and follow the rugged coastline southward to Cap de Creus. Dramatic volcanic headlands drop into turquoise bays; the skipper navigates into caves and grottos impossible to reach from land. Swim off the transom in water so clear the seabed is visible at 10 metres. Return at golden hour with the Pyrenees glowing behind the bay.

Good to know

Book at least 48 hours ahead; morning departures (9 am) give the calmest seas and best light. Half-day charters return by 1 pm — well inside all-aboard times. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a hat; the skipper provides snorkelling gear, chilled cava, and light snacks.
