REVIEWS · MALAGA
Every trip has one spare day and too many boats competing for it. These 9 malaga catamaran cruises justify the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes.
Cruise from Malaga for 1 to 1.5 hours on a spacious catamaran, watching the sun sink over the Alboran Sea. Choose a daytime or sunset sailing, add cava or a romantic light show, and enjoy English or Spanish crew service. Live music runs on selected dates until mid-September.
“Lovely catamaran, bar on board, comfortable cruise along the coast, good value for money”
Sail from Málaga’s Muelle Uno as the city turns gold, then watch the sun set from a comfortable catamaran with music, seating, bathrooms, and a bar selling drinks and snacks. The ride lasts 90 minutes in most months, though December and January departures last one hour.
“Excellent experience. Smooth boat ride with music, drinks, views and happy people.”
Sail from Malaga Port for 75 to 90 minutes aboard a spacious Mundo Marino catamaran. Choose sunset or night, enjoy one glass of cava or a soft drink, and listen to a live DJ. The upper deck is livelier, while the lower deck is better for sitting, photos, and a calmer view.
“best night we had in malaga! I will honestly remember this boat trip for a long time. great crew, great views and a really good dj and party!! such a good night.”
Join Mundo Marino at Malaga’s pier for a 1.5-hour catamaran ride across the bay. Enjoy coastline views, a bar onboard, and a swimming stop when sea conditions allow. Choose the DJ option for livelier music. The route changes with the wind, and the crew speaks Spanish and English.
“Good! The water was great and it was fun to jump off the boat. The sangria on board was strong which was great”
Sail from Málaga’s Muelle Uno on a 24-meter catamaran for one relaxed hour. Choose sun on the bow nets or shade on deck, enjoy music and sea views, and buy drinks from the bar. Swimming may be offered on some departures, but it is not guaranteed.
“The front windows were cracked glass and we couldn’t see out Otherwise it was a nice cruise”
Spend three hours aboard Mundo Marino’s spacious catamaran, sailing along Malaga’s coast with an English or Spanish speaking crew. Swim in open water, relax in sun or shade, and enjoy pork paella with salad, bread, fruit, and one drink. Front net seating costs extra.
“Amazing trip!! Great staff. So so clean. Great food! Cannot recommend more. Loved this trip so much!!”
Sail from La Herradura with up to 12 people aboard a deluxe catamaran. Matthew, Mia, Miles, or Tom may be among the crew. Expect cava, fruit, buffet food, coastal views, a swim stop, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
“It was an amazing experience. From we wmentered the boat until we left. The crew was very nice and friendly and the boat was great. Made for a really nice and relaxing day, and they had a lot of equipment to use in the water.”
Sail from Málaga’s Muelle Uno on a hybrid catamaran for about an hour. You’ll pass the Pompidou Centre, La Malagueta beach, the bullring, Alcazaba, and Gibralfaro Castle. There is no regular commentary, but you get open-air seating, music, a bar, and fine views back toward the city.
“Enjoyable way to pass an hour. The ride was a nice way to relax and get a different view of Malaga. The excursion was as described.”
Walk Málaga’s old center with a private English-speaking guide, visit the Alcazaba and Palacio Nazarí, then board a catamaran from Puerto de Málaga. Guides such as Oscar, Enrique, Nahuel, and Martha are praised for clear local history and helpful advice. Expect hills, cobblestones, stairs, and a possible break before the cruise.
“Martha had a great knowledge of the history of Malaga and delivered it well . She was open to questions and gave sound answers. The weather turned bad and she order taxi for us to meet her at the marina.”
By what the day is for, by what comes with the ticket, or by who else is aboard.
