The Rafael Verdera is the oldest active sailing vessel in the Spanish fleet. Launched in 1841 and lovingly restored, she still sails the Mediterranean every day. More than a boat: a living legend on the sea.

SUNSETS
As the sun begins to dip, the Rafael Verdera glides gently across the water. The sails glow gold, the air is scented with salt and stillness... Then it happens: the Mediterranean pauses to give you one of its most magical moments. A sunset at sea can’t be put into words: you have to feel it. Step aboard to experience it.

WHALE AND DOLPHIN WATCHING
The Mediterranean holds living secrets. Dolphins, turtles and whales may appear when you least expect them. An experience as natural as it is unforgettable.

SAILING
The sea means freedom, and sailing without a fixed course is a way to find yourself. On board the Rafael Verdera, sailing isn’t just about getting from one place to another: it’s about experiencing the sea with all your senses, at the rhythm of the wind and waves. No rush. Just the horizon.

PRIVATE CHARTERS
Some occasions deserve a unique setting: a birthday, a proposal, a reunion… Make the Rafael Verdera yours, with no time limit, no stress, no hassle. Just the sea, your favourite people, and an experience you will never forget.

Christian Kunzi03/09/2025Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Absolut perfekter Segeltripp! Gebucht hatten wir über eine externe Seite, was zunächst zu einem Problem mit dem gewünschten Termin führte. Dies wurde aber umgehend behoben. Beim Tripp war das Schiff angenehm befüllt, also nicht überlaufen. Man konnte sich frei auf dem Schiff bewegen (auch der Ausguck konnte erklommen werden!), wodurch man sehr großen Freiraum hatte. Außerdem wurde man sehr umfassend mit Tapas und Getränken versorgt. Die Crew war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt eine absolute Empfehlung! amira d27/08/2025Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We had an absolutely wonderful day on the Rafael Verdera! The boat itself is in excellent condition, very well maintained, spotless, and full of character. You can really feel the history and care that goes into preserving it. The crew was amazing friendly, welcoming, and always making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. They created such a relaxed and positive atmosphere on board. The food was fantastic, the BBQ was delicious and the burgers were some of the best we’ve had on a boat trip! Combined with great drinks and stunning views, it made the whole experience feel really special. Sailing, swimming in crystal-clear water, enjoying fresh food and good company , it was everything we hoped for and more. We left with big smiles and unforgettable memories. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Mallorca! Varguex X25/08/2025Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.
