About us

Some boats sail. Others make history.

Drakkaros is the heart of La Ketch Company: a Mauritius Ketch built in South Africa in 1982 that has sailed around the world twice. In April 2022, her story brought us to Barcelona and gave rise to a project created to keep sharing the sea, now from a new perspective.

Lancha Ulysse
Ulysse and La Ketch Academy

To that boat we added Ulysse, a fast motorboat that let us widen our range: water sports, fishing trips, coves a sailboat can’t reach. And with it came La Ketch Academy, our wakeboard, water ski and foil school at Port Fòrum.

Some come to raise a glass and never leave the deck, others spend the afternoon jumping into the water. We bring the boat, the skipper, food if you want it, and you do the rest.

Barcelona is better from the sea
