Not only will the Pascual Flores take part in this wonderful festival, but she will also be accompanied by many other important sailing boats sold from all over Europe. Gastronomy and traditional French music will be the backdrop for this wonderful festival. We recommend you spend a few days in the city beforehand to enjoy all the international seafaring songs, sports and maritime shows.

We will set course for the southwest of the French Côte d’Azur heading towards the next destination Castellón. In Castellón we will have the opportunity to participate with up to 15 different boats in Escala a Castellón. Opening parties and a unique atmosphere with the best music and concerts.

What it does not include

Transport to and from the boat is at the expense of each person.

Sailing on the sailing boats of the Nao Victoria Foundation is a magnificent human, technical and natural experience. You will take part in the sailing watches and experience the camaraderie of people of different ages, cultures and backgrounds, all as fond of the sea and boats as you are. You will learn navigation techniques, manoeuvring, knots and rigging, as well as getting to recognise the main stars and constellations. And all this in a natural environment as different, indomitable and incredibly beautiful as the sea.

A mini adventure full of humanity. My dream since I was a child, to see the sails swell in the wind, with the bow cutting waves up and down. Swallowing the sky, swallowing the sea. I am one of those who never stop, I do not miss even the smallest detail and Nao Victoria and you have filled me. All my nights different, always ecstatic. Captain, crew a 10, volunteers, I have no scale to name your dedication, your courtesy, your bizarreness. Historically well prepared, I now admire even more those heroes who preceded us.

The person who decides to make a voyage aboard the nao Victoria will find: a wooden ship that tries to recreate the feeling of being in one of those primitive ships that achieved such great feats, with a crew of people enthusiastic about sailing, the history of Spain very close, attentive and friendly, which will allow us to participate in all maneuvers and activities.
