Itinerary

Take part in a scientific sailing trip. The outing consists of a day's sailing with a motor boat accompanied by expert scientists during a day of research along the Garraf coast. The meeting time is at 7:45 a.m. at the captain's tower of the Port of Sitges Aiguadolç and we will go to the sailing boat. At the beginning of the outing, the team members give a brief safety talk on the boat and then explain the projects and the species of cetaceans, seabirds and other species of interest that can be seen along our coast. The aim of the trips is to try to find cetaceans during the day's sailing. We will also be able to see seabirds and other species such as turtles, manta rays, ocean sunfish, etc. Everyone will bring drinks and food for the day. By sailing you will get to know better the marine species that inhabit our coast, surprisingly unknown to most people, and you will get to know our work first hand.
