The Costa Brava’s crystalline waters make Girona one of Spain’s best sailing destinations. This stretch of coastline packs in all the essentials for memorable maritime experiences: hidden coves, dramatic cliffs, and plenty of sunshine. The standout options include group catamaran trips with onboard barbecues – perfect for celebrations – and intimate private sailboat tours that let you explore at your own pace. I’m particularly fond of the full-day excursions from Roses, which combine great local food with plenty of swimming stops. For something special, the sunset tours offer a peaceful way to end the day, while the underwater viewing areas on some catamarans add an extra dimension to the journey. Let’s explore the top sailing tours that make this coastline so special.
