From a simple boat shuttle to a premium dolphin watching cruise — there's a perfect trip out there waiting for you
Visit the stunning village of Collioure with no car needed! Step ashore right in the heart of the village and skip all the parking hassle.
Aboard the electric/hybrid Colibr-e, head out to observe wild dolphins in their natural habitat. Up to 3 hours of magic at sea.
6 commented cruises along the stunning Côte Vermeille. Underwater vision, sunset, Cap Béar, Paulilles Bay…
A unique experience you'll find nowhere else on the Côte Vermeille
Our boat Colibr-e runs in silent electric mode whenever we approach the dolphins. Zero CO₂, zero engine noise — the dolphins come naturally close to the boat. An eco-conscious, breathtaking approach our competitors don't offer.
We emit locally and we offset locally. Every year, KapMer funds carbon-offset projects with ClimatLocal within a 50-km radius: hedgerows in Catalonia, agroforestry in Elne, meadows in Saint-André. 100 tonnes of CO₂ already offset, 100% rooted in our region.
In the Premium package, our partner from Découverte du Vivant — a professional naturalist — joins you on board to comment on dolphin behaviour and capture the encounter with HD photos included. A rare level of expertise.
Our Underwater Vision cruise lets you observe marine life from inside the boat's hull thanks to our Aquavista glass-bottom system. A window onto the underwater world of the Côte Vermeille — bream, damselfish, sars — without getting wet.
KapMer is a family of sailors rooted in the Côte Vermeille since 2005. Our crews know every cove, every current, every secret of this exceptional coast. A warm welcome, true stories, real local know-how.
Book in 2 minutes from your phone, receive your tickets by email and head straight to the boarding point. No queueing, no printing required. Cancellation or change possible in line with our terms.
Aboard the Colibr-e, our electric/hybrid boat, set sail for up to 3 hours to meet the wild dolphins. Zero CO₂, zero engine noise — for a respectful approach and truly magical moments.
With the Premium option, our naturalist partner from Découverte du Vivant joins you for an even more immersive experience, with professional photography included.
KapMer Satisfaction Guarantee
Bottlenose Dolphins live freely across a vast stretch of sea. Despite all our expertise and the care we put into every trip, nature stays unpredictable and, on the rare occasion when sightings aren't possible, we can't guarantee them every single time. Because your satisfaction is our priority, KapMer refunds 50% of your booking in that case.
Up to 3h at sea · Departure Argelès
