Two 30‑minute crossings combine into a 60‑minute round trip that lets you cross between ports without the hassle of roads—ideal for a short, restorative outing on the water.

A relaxed escape from road traffic

This short maritime link offers a quiet alternative to driving: relax on deck, enjoy the sea air, and—if you wish—disembark to stroll Cambrils before returning on a later sailing.

Boarding the Dorimar is straightforward: the outing is planned as two 30‑minute journeys that together form a one‑hour excursion. Passengers can opt to stay on the boat for the full loop or step ashore in Cambrils and return on a later departure—either way the crossing is dominated by open‑water views and a steady maritime breeze.
