Get on board the paileboat Pascual Flores and feel the experience of traveling in the restoration of the ship built in 1917. Be part of the crew, using the same sailing techniques, with training on navigation, charts, use of sails, knots, etc.. And, above all, feel the sensation of sailing a wooden boat, governed by a pintleboat.

Departing from the port of Sète and arriving at Grau de Castelló, this crossing has a duration of 285 nautical miles. We will set sail from Sète where the Pascual Flores will take part for several days in the famous Escala a Sète festival, the biggest annual celebration of maritime traditions in the south of France. 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. Enjoy the festival once you arrive in Castellón: children’s activities, concerts, nautical activities and many surprises that will not leave you indifferent!!!

What it does not include

Transport to and from the boat is at your own expense

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.
