Outing Highlights
A short sail through Valencia’s Marina
The excursion runs by motor through Valencia’s Marina, offering close-up views of the harbor’s lines and the Mediterranean setting as the catamaran makes its way to the clóchina nurseries.
Visit to authentic clóchina nurseries
The vessel pauses at working clóchina nurseries where a crew member steps down to show the cultivation and harvest process of the Valencian clóchina—an on‑board demonstration that connects sea farming to the tasting that follows.
Degustación of clóchinas with a local white wine
After the nursery demonstration, the experience culminates with a tasting of clóchinas paired with a refreshing Valencian white wine (one beverage per participant is included), bringing the region’s maritime flavors directly to the deck.
What the day feels like

The rhythm is compact and deliberately social—designed to give a clear encounter with local aquaculture and flavours without a large time commitment.
