Recommended Excursions that Deserve Every Minute on Board
Okay, you already have a boat. Now comes the best part: deciding where to head.
The Route through the Five Islands of the Mar Menor
Isla Perdiguera, Isla del Barón, la Ronda, la del Ciervo and la del Sujeto, are a perfect place to discover places that are not easily accessible by land and take photos that will not be available to everyone.
The Visit to Isla Grosa and El Farallón
It is an almost obligatory excursion to feel the authentic Costa Cálida. There are options from 3 to 8 hours with panoramic routes adapted to all levels.
And we cannot forget, everyone’s favorite plan, to see the sunset from a boat to take the best photos without a single piece of land, only the sea and you. You also have the option of taking short trips by ferry, pedal boat or kayak, which are very affordable.
Navigation and Safety Rules (Yes, Even Pirates Have Rules)
Although you feel like a pirate of the Menor Menor, be careful, there are also rules here. In the event that the boat is large and powerful, a license is needed to handle it, so find out before you start renting something you cannot handle.
You cannot forget the life jacket, as it is mandatory for everyone, even for those who never get wet. You must also respect the bathing areas, so pay attention to the buoys and bathers, and also take into account the speed, which although there are no radars, you have to be careful with accidents.
And it goes without saying, don’t leave garbage in the sea, and always listen to the skipper’s instructions, who is the one in charge on the boat.
What Do You Absolutely Have to Bring to Enjoy the Experience?
Pirates also need a small backpack with supplies, so remember to bring sunscreen and sunglasses, as the sun at sea hits much harder than on the sand of the beach. And of course bring water to hydrate and, if you want, some snacks.
Also remember to wear comfortable clothes, and if you go at sunset, a thin jacket. And be careful, don’t forget your towel and swimsuit, which seems obvious, but more than one has forgotten it in the sand.
If you want to store things, or you are a bit absent-minded, bring a bag or a waterproof backpack where you can protect your most precious objects. In addition to bringing your mobile phone well charged, so that none of your followers miss those photos.
And if you are one of those who get dizzy, or you are about to discover it, remember to bring biodramina against dizziness, we don’t want vomiting or unnecessary falls during the trip.
