What to expect on this private sailing tour

Water, soft drinks, beer, cava and snacks with cheese, fuet, olives, chips and bread are offered onboard. Lunch and dinner are not included; the team can recommend restaurants in the towns visited.
Minimum age and preparation
The original information sets a minimum age of 9 for this excursion. Bring comfortable clothes, sun protection, swimwear, towel, non-slip footwear and light luggage adapted to duration.
