Frequently asked questions about the Three-Port Cruise
Which ports are visited on the Three-Port Cruise?
The Three-Port Cruise sails along the entire coast between Argelès-sur-Mer, Collioure and Port-Vendres. From the sea you discover the Château Royal of Collioure, the Notre-Dame-des-Anges church, the Vauban fortifications of Port-Vendres and the silhouette of Cap Béar with its lighthouse. Departures from Argelès or Collioure.
How long is the full cruise?
The Three-Port Cruise lasts 1h30, fully commented by our skipper. You board the Barracuda, a 97-passenger catamaran, with open decks and a covered area. The format is ideal for discovering the Côte Vermeille without committing a whole half-day.
Can we step ashore in the ports visited?
The Three-Port Cruise is a non-stop cruise: you do not disembark in Collioure or Port-Vendres. If you wish to visit Collioure, opt for the Return + Cruise package (€28 adult) which combines a return shuttle with a commented cruise — you enjoy Collioure between the two trips.
Is there live commentary during the cruise?
Yes, the entire cruise is commented live by our skipper. History of Collioure and the Fauvist painters, geology of Cap Béar, maritime anecdotes, marine wildlife: the commentary enriches the whole journey. Commentary is available in French and English depending on the crew.
Is the boat sheltered in case of sun or light rain?
The Barracuda has an air-conditioned interior cabin and an open upper deck. You can switch between sun and shelter at your own pace. In case of light rain, the covered deck offers a panoramic view of the coast. In case of genuinely bad weather, the trip is cancelled and fully refunded.
From what age can people come on board?
All ages are welcome: babies under 3 sail for free, children aged 3 to 11 enjoy the reduced fare of €16. The cruise is gentle and comfortable, perfectly suited for families. Foldable pushchairs are accepted on board.
