Discover the experienceThe Javea coastline is one of the most varied on the entire Costa Blanca: cliffs up to 60 metres high dropping straight into the sea, small white-sand coves hidden between the rocks, and seabeds that shelter pristine posidonia oceanica meadows. Aboard the Goleta Josephine you will set sail from Javea harbour towards a stretch of coast that, for the most part, is impossible to explore without a boat.
Skipper Alberto will take the schooner to Cala Granadella — one of the most coveted anchorages on the Valencian coast, with visibility exceeding 15 metres on calm days — and towards Cabo de la Nao, just six kilometres by sea, where the cliffs open into sea caves accessible only from the water. Cova dels Arcs and Portitxol are regular stops on the route depending on the charter type.
In summer, the wind pattern at Javea favours morning sailing: the poniente (land breeze) keeps the sea surface smooth in the mornings, while the levante (sea breeze) tends to build some swell from midday onwards. Skipper Alberto manages departure times to make the most of conditions and ensure passenger comfort throughout.
The stretch of coastline between Javea and Cabo de la Nao is part of a Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA) and priority habitats within the Natura 2000 network. Exploring it aboard a classic wooden schooner like the Josephine — at low engine speed, without jet skis or speedboats — is the most respectful and immersive way to experience it.
Javea has some of the most pristine seabeds on the Costa Blanca. The Josephine takes you right to them.
