The total solar eclipse
over the sea at Salou
On 12 August 2026 Salou will witness a total solar eclipse — the first on the Spanish mainland since 1905. And there's only one place to see it properly: the sea. We sail on a shared boat with up to 9 people on board. Individual spot 150 € with certified glasses and a drink of your choice included.
121 years on, the Sun will go dark over Salou
On 12 August 2026, the Moon will completely cover the Sun and day will turn to night for close to a minute. It is the first total solar eclipse visible from the Spanish mainland since 1905 — and Salou is, fortunately, within the narrow band of totality.
This is no small detail: cities as close as Barcelona fall outside the band and there you'll only see a partial eclipse. In Salou, by contrast, the Sun will vanish entirely and you'll see the solar corona ringing a black disc, with planets and stars in broad daylight. A sight very few people will ever witness in their lives.
Why the sea is the only place to see it
During totality, the Sun will be only about 4° above the horizon — almost touching the sea, just before it sets. And that is the key to everything.
From land, it's blocked
With the Sun so low, buildings, promenades, mountains and the coast itself block the view. Most people trying from the town or the beach won't see full totality.
From the sea, a clear horizon
Out at sea, off Salou, the west-southwest horizon is completely clear. It is, quite literally, the best seat on the Costa Dorada for this eclipse.
We position you at the optimal spot
The skipper takes the boat to the exact place and orientation so the eclipsed Sun stays clear over the sea. No obstacles, no crowds, no stress.
And with the perfect atmosphere
The eclipse, the corona over the Mediterranean, the sunset sky and a glass of brut cava (or your drink of choice) in your hand. A memory for life, over the sea.

In Salou even balconies are being rented at a king's ransom
Salou is one of the very few points on the Spanish mainland in the band of totality. Hotels, balconies and terraces with a sea view are selling at record prices for that night. We have one boat and one trip: once it's booked, there's no more. The next total eclipse in Spain is in 2027 (only in the south) and after that you'll have to wait decades.
