Travelling by boat is one thing, but sailing in a llaüt is quite another. This wooden vessel exudes tradition, transporting you back in time. While travelling by boat is simply sailing, a llaüt journey connects you to history – to the seafaring life that has shaped the shores of the Mediterranean for centuries. With each wave, the llaüt carries you not just forward, but back to a past where the sea was a lifeline, a source of work and dreams.
With its simple, elegant lines, the llaüt seems made to blend with the sea. The warmth of the wood is infused with salt and sunlight, as if carrying the stories of the fishermen who have navigated these waters in search of fish and freedom, generation after generation. The scents of the sea, mingling with the breeze, create an atmosphere that embraces us and evokes the vibrant Mediterranean tradition.
When the sail unfurls, the magic deepens. It swells in the wind, and the llaüt begins to glide silently, like a fish in the water. In that moment we sail as the sailors of yesteryear did – those who knew the wind and the stars, guided by intuition and the wisdom passed down from father to son. Shimmering in the sunlight or moonlight, the Mediterranean stretches before us, with each slice of landscape mirrored in the water, like an infinite reflection.
Thus, we cease to be mere passengers and become part of a greater story, one in harmony with the sea, nature and a living tradition. Each wave, each sailor’s knot, and every breath of air in the sail speaks to us of the beauty of a life intertwined with the Mediterranean. As the sun sets and the sky is painted with shades of red and pink, we realise that sailing by llaüt is far more than a journey, it’s a return to the essence of life on the shores of this vibrant, tradition-rich sea.
