Sail Valencia’s coast aboard Boramar’s spacious double-decker catamaran by day or at sunset. You’ll get a cocktail or drink, coastal views, music, and a DJ on Saturdays. The cruise lasts 50 minutes to 1.5 hours, though boarding and return time can affect the time spent at sea.
“We had an amazing time on the catamaran cruise! The atmosphere was very nice and lively throughout. The cocktails were really good, and the music was fantastic — it kept the energy high the whole time. A lot of us ended up dancing and just having a great time on the boat. It was a super fun experience and definitely a highlight of our trip!”

Sail from Valencia’s port on a spacious catamaran, watch the coast from the water, stop for a swim, and enjoy salad, paella, bread, fruit, and one drink. English and Spanish are spoken. Reserve the net seating if you want a front-row place to stretch out.

Sail from Valencia’s Marina for about 90 minutes, passing Veles i Vents and the Malvarrosa coast as the sun drops. You get a cava cup, music, toilets, and a bar, but expect a shared cruise for up to 104 passengers, not a quiet sailing trip.
