KapMer

About

KapMer offers a vibrant array of boat experiences along the French Riviera’s Côte Vermeille, from charming port-to-port shuttles to immersive underwater tours. Based in the picturesque town of Argelès-sur-Mer, KapMer’s fleet—comprising the Aquavista, Barracuda, and the electric‑hybrid Colibr‑e—provides a comfortable and scenic passage between the historic ports of Collioure, Port‑Vendres, and Argelès itself. Guests can choose from a variety of itineraries, such as the “Balade 3 Ports” which explores hidden coves and keepsakes of the area, the “Croisière Vision Sous‑Marine” that offers a guided dive into marine life, or the more relaxed “Grande Balade Baie de Paulilles” with its panoramic 360° vista. For lovers of marine wildlife, the “Rencontre Grand Dauphin” dolphin excursion on the Colibr‑e presents an unforgettable encounter with these charismatic creatures. The experience is further enriched by informative narration from seasoned captains, on‑board safety arrangements including limited accessibility accommodations, and an optional palette of sunset cruises for those looking to end the day with breathtaking coastal light. KapMer’s commitment to sustainability and local culture is evident in every voyage, making it a must‑visit destination for families, nature enthusiasts, and travel photographers alike. Recommended visit time is approximately 1.75 hours (6300 seconds) for most tours; however, the Petite Balade offers a quick 40‑minute escapade, while the sunset tour “Tombée de la Nuit” lasts 1 hour 15 minutes.
