The Sail Adventure Experience

I am the skipper of Julieta. My name is Rubén Serra, and I have loved the sea in all its forms for as long as I can remember. I first set sail at the age of seven in Calella de Palafrugell, one of the most beautiful and quietly stirring corners of the Costa Brava. In those days, Calella breathed the sea at every hour. Swimming, fishing, sailing, hese were the rhythms of summer, repeated year after year. I believe every child in Calella passed through the local sailing club, whether by choice or gentle parental insistence. Those of us who chose it fell in love instantly.

The afternoons shaped by the garbí, the crisp days of tramontana, the occasional mornings of gregal or gargal, as they say there, and the rare, humid breaths of levante. Each wind dressed the day in its own scent, its own light, its own sea, painting the sky in shifting colours and making the memory of the Mediterranean feel boundless. And so we kept sailing, and we kept dreaming.

After thirty years working in the metal industry, I sold my company to embark on this new chapter. At the end of 2014, my wife Julieta and I found our boat a First 41 S5 from 1991, and with her, a different way of living began.

Over the years, Julieta has been our teacher. She has taught us to cook, to fish, to sail with patience, to anchor with care, to moor with confidence, and to travel through countless beautiful places. Along the way, we have met remarkable people and lived moments that at times felt almost touched by grace. Now, the time has come to share it.

One does not need to travel far to glimpse a kind of paradise. Menorca, Mallorca, Ibiza, and Formentera lie just a few hours away by sea. A little farther, Sardinia and Corsica. And beyond them, Elba, Ischia, Capri, Sicily… the journey, it seems, is endless.
