Sailing with whales and dolphins on a private yacht in the Strait of
Gibraltar
In the strait that connects the Mediterranean and the
Atlantic Ocean, you expect a very special experience in a unique setting. The
harmonious unity of the fascinating marine life, the eternal play of the forces
of wind and sea and the stunning coastal landscape between Europe and Africa
will inspire you.
Experience such as whales and dolphins playing right next to the ship. Here,
the white boat glides quietly under sail away. Not infrequently, about twenty
families of pilot whales and their calves play simultaneously close to two hours
next to our boat. You can feel the high up to 6 meters blown onto the deck.
Impressive is the body contact that keep the animals in the water. It seems as
if you were constantly cuddling together. If we are very lucky w meet a huge
sperm wale. On our whale watching, we make sure that we do not interfere with
the giants of the sea, but waiting in the vicinity of the families come to them
naturally to our ship.
Our tour guide, the marine biologist Jörn Selling explored together with
Katharina Heier in the Foundation firmm for 12 years, the lives of whales
and the influence of the heavy ship traffic. He consecrates us to the
fascinating world of whales and dolphins.
The shore excursions between Europe and Africa are fascinating. Gibraltar,
with its contradictions: Enjoy a stroll through the impressive old town of
Cadiz, a trip to Jerez, the home of sherry or a visit to the endless beaches of
Tarifa. In Morocco, you will experience a trip to the Orient in the old Teotuan
artisan quarters.
Feel the front of the rock of Gibraltar to the navigators of antiquity, the
world ended here mostly on the pillars of Hercules, Gibraltar where the north
and south of Mount Sinai (Jebel Musa Sidi) the boundary between heaven and earth
marked.
If you can rise above the dull shining sea, the sun between the Pillars of
Hercules, you increase the aroma of fresh coffee in the nose and watch the game
next to the boat a whale family, you will wish time would stand still.
