Medes Islands yacht charter from Palamós

The Medes Islands lie roughly 20 nautical miles north of Palamós, a run that takes about 1.5 hours under power or sail in typical conditions. The approach crosses open water before the coastline folds into the sheltered bays around L'Estartit, where the marine reserve keeps the water notably clear for swimming and snorkelling stops.

Inside the reserve the seabed drops quickly from the rocky shoreline, giving divers and snorkellers depth close to the boat without a long swim. The islands themselves are uninhabited rock outcrops, so the anchorage is quiet outside the midday approach traffic from L'Estartit's dive boats.

A Medes Islands run suits either a half-day outing focused purely on the swim stop or a full day that continues south toward the sheltered bays of Begur before heading back to Palamós in the late afternoon. Both options depart and return from the same marina, so timings are set around the group's plans rather than a fixed schedule.

Yacht confirmed at booking

The sailing yacht, catamaran or motor yacht used for the Medes Islands day depends on group size and the day's sea state; the specific vessel is confirmed once dates and numbers are set.
