The experience
A fireworks night like never before
From the sea, the show is simply unforgettable
Every season, several fireworks displays light up the Côte Vermeille (the Vermilion Coast). KapMer invites you to watch them from the sea for a 360° view of the illuminated coastline, far from the crowds and the noise.
On board, the atmosphere is festive: free homemade sangria and fruit juices are served throughout the cruise. The perfect way to celebrate Bastille Day, 15 August or simply a lovely summer evening with friends or family.
The cruise lasts around 2 hours and departs from the port of Argelès-sur-Mer. Seats are limited — booking is essential.

Each cruise lasts around 2 hours.
What time does the boat leave to watch the fireworks?
Departure is around 1 hour before the fireworks start, to head out to sea calmly. The exact time depends on the date and location: generally between 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The time is confirmed at booking and reminded by email. Please arrive 15 to 30 minutes before departure at Quai Marco Polo.
How long is the cruise?
The cruise lasts around 2 hours at sea: heading offshore, a friendly wait with free homemade sangria and fruit juices on board, watching the fireworks from the boat, then returning to the Port of Argelès-sur-Mer. A complete experience to savour with friends or family.
Is there a refund guarantee for cancellations?
If KapMer cancels the cruise due to weather or any other reason, you are fully refunded. If the town cancels its fireworks but conditions at sea allow the cruise, KapMer keeps a night cruise with free sangria. To cancel on your side, please contact us at least 48 hours in advance.
