A 2-hour Mediterranean catamaran cruise with DJ, welcome drinks and music — the party version of Valencia's sunset boat trips. Larger catamaran with up to 100 guests, sundeck for sunbathing, and a sound system that's louder than the calm operators. The right pick for groups who want the social vibe rather than the photographs.

Highlights

  • 2 hours on a large catamaran with up to 100 guests
  • DJ playing chilled house and Mediterranean beats
  • Welcome drink included — sangria, cava or soft drink
  • Sundeck and shaded interior — pick your vibe
  • Swim stop in summer (when sea conditions allow)

Important information

What to bring

  • Swimsuit and towel — for the summer swim stop
  • Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat — sun is direct on the deck
  • Cash or card — for additional drinks at the onboard bar
  • Light jacket — sea breeze cools things down after sunset

Honest take

  • For party vibes: this is the right boat — bachelor/bachelorette parties book this regularly
  • For calm photography: the small sunset boat is the better pick
  • Music gets loud — not the trip for quiet sunset photographers
  • Cancels in high winds — rebook or refund applies
  • Pairs well with an Old Town tapas tour earlier in the evening
What travellers are saying

Travellers consistently call this the highlight of group trips and bachelor/bachelorette weekends in Valencia. Most-cited positives: the music, the swim stop, and the size of the catamaran (room to move). Most-cited issue: travellers expecting a quiet photogenic sunset find the music too loud — book the small sunset boat instead if that's the goal.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the catamaran cruise and the small sunset boat?

Vibe and size. The catamaran is a large boat with up to 100 guests, a DJ, drinks, and music — built for groups, parties and a social atmosphere. The small sunset boat is intimate (under 20 guests), no music, designed for couples and photography. Same coastline, completely different experience.

Are drinks included on the Valencia catamaran cruise?

A welcome drink is included — typically sangria, cava or a soft drink. Additional drinks are sold onboard. Some operators bundle a drinks package for an extra fee at booking. Bring cash or card for the bar.

Is there food on board?

No full meals. Some operators serve small snacks or tapas — varies by trip. Eat before boarding, or pair the cruise with an Old Town tapas tour earlier in the evening for a full Spanish night.

Can you swim during the catamaran cruise?

On summer trips most operators include a swim stop in calm coastal waters — usually 15–20 minutes off-anchor. Bring a swimsuit and towel if you want to. Out-of-season trips skip the swim stop.

What time does the catamaran depart?

Departure shifts with the season — typically 19:00–20:00 in summer, 17:00–18:00 in shoulder season. The boat aims to be on the water for sunset, so timing follows the actual sunset hour. Your booking confirmation lists the exact time. Arrive 20 minutes early at Valencia Marina.
