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.
