This is a deliberately slow outing: a private sail that slips away from the crowded sand and finds a sheltered spot—normally in front of Arrigúnaga beach—where the boat’s gentle motion becomes the trip’s chief pleasure. You’ll float in the intimacy of a small sailboat, take dips against dramatic cliffs, and snack aboard as the sea and sun set the pace.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SETTING

Anchored calm off Arrigúnaga

The itinerary concentrates on finding a nearby protected anchorage—normally opposite Arrigúnaga beach—so you can relax on the water, away from the busy shore.

THE RITUAL

Float, sun and short swims

The experience centers on that unique, low-key sensation of floating on a private sailboat: light swims in the sea and time to sunbathe undisturbed on deck.

THE PROVISIONS

Simple picoteo, upgradeable on request

Onboard you can enjoy a basic snack (picoteo); if you want something more elaborate, the operator can arrange it upon request while you bathe near the cliffs.

What the day feels like

What this outing feels like

Over two hours you leave the marina, head straight for a nearby protected spot and settle the boat so it can become a private platform for sun, sea and light food. The day is low-effort: little sailing, more drifting and dipping, punctuated by a simple onboard snack or a requested upgrade while you take in the cliffs and open water.
