Setting Sail on a Family Adventure

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I’m always on the lookout for activities that can entertain and educate my children while providing a memorable experience for the whole family. The Three Capes Cruise in Dénia seemed like the perfect opportunity to combine fun, learning, and relaxation. The idea of exploring the Mediterranean Sea on a catamaran, with the promise of swimming and a delicious seafood lunch, was too tempting to resist.

We arrived at the bustling Port of Dénia, where the vibrant atmosphere immediately set the tone for our adventure. The port is a hub of activity, with its array of shops, cafes, and the lively chatter of fellow travelers. As we boarded the catamaran, the kids were thrilled to find plenty of space to move around and explore. The crew was welcoming and attentive, ensuring that everyone was comfortable and ready for the journey ahead.

Discovering the Three Capes

The cruise took us along the stunning coastline of Dénia, offering breathtaking views of the San Antonio, San Martin, and La Nao capes. Each cape has its own unique charm, and the kids were fascinated by the stories and legends shared by the crew. The catamaran glided smoothly over the azure waters, and the gentle sea breeze was a refreshing change from the summer heat.

One of the highlights of the trip was the opportunity to swim in the secluded spots along the coast. The water was crystal clear, and the kids couldn’t wait to dive in. It was a joy to watch them splash around, their laughter echoing across the water. For those who prefer to stay dry, the catamaran offered plenty of shaded areas to relax and enjoy the scenery.

A Taste of the Mediterranean

After our maritime adventure, we headed to Restaurante el Raset for a well-deserved lunch. Located right in front of the port, the restaurant offered a beautiful view of the water, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The menu featured a variety of Mediterranean dishes, but the star of the meal was the “Arròs a banda,” a traditional saffron rice dish cooked in a flavorful fish stock.

The kids enjoyed trying new flavors, and the friendly staff made sure we had everything we needed. As we savored our meal, we reflected on the day’s adventures and the memories we had created. The combination of the cruise and the delicious lunch made for an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to any family visiting Dénia.

The Three Capes Cruise is more than just a boat ride; it’s an opportunity to connect with nature, learn about the local culture, and enjoy quality time with loved ones. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or new to exploring with kids, this adventure offers something for everyone. Three Capes Cruise is a must-do for families looking to make the most of their time in Dénia.
