The evening begins with a pick-up at your hotel in the late afternoon. Comfortably seated in an air-conditioned vehicle, you will cross the bustling streets of Tunis to reach the lively fishing harbour of La Goulette. As you approach the wharf, a pirate-themed sailboat with its large black sail and skull-and-crossbones flag immediately catches your eye. This is where it all begins.
The captain and his crew warmly welcome you. You climb aboard and choose a seat to admire the scenery: the sea sparkles, seagulls circle around the boat, and a gentle breeze heralds a magnificent evening. The boat slowly weighs anchor and sets sail, heading for the Gulf of Tunis.
From the very first minutes of navigation, the show is already on. On your right, you can see the imposing ruins of Carthage silhouetted against the coastline, while the sound of the waves and the rocking of the boat create a soothing atmosphere. You immediately feel that sensation of escape and freedom.
Then comes the moment everyone has been waiting for: the boat stops in front of Sidi Bou Said. The famous cliff with its white houses and blue shutters rises before you, bathed in the golden rays of the setting sun. This is the magical moment when the sky is adorned with orange and purple, and the village seems to float between sea and sky. You then have about 20 minutes to capture this perfect scene. Take the opportunity to capture the scenery – the perfect opportunity for a romantic photo with the legendary Café des Délices in the background.
The boat sets sail again, and at the harbour
the crew invites you to the table. Dinner, worthy of a real restaurant, is served: mechouïa, Tunisian salad, then a grilled fish dish or a meat skewer accompanied by seasonal vegetables. The atmosphere becomes festive thanks to the traditional and modern music that the crew plays on deck. Between bites, you chat with the other passengers, you laugh, and the evening passes by smoothly.
After or before the trip, you will have free time in the village of Sidi Bouzid
At the end, the vehicle will be waiting for you to return. During the journey, you relive the striking images of this getaway: the sunset, the serene beauty of Sidi Bou Said, the warmth of the welcome on board. You are dropped off in front of your hotel, your head full of stars and your heart full of emotions. A short but intense evening, perfect for two lovers, a family, or a group of friends looking for an authentic and poetic break on the open sea.
