The catamaran slips away from La Marina with the city behind you and the Mediterranean spreading out like a bright, breathing plain. Salt and engine hum mix as Malvarrosa’s broad sand recedes and the low, colorful blocks of Port Saplaya appear on the horizon; gulls wheel and the sea dares you to watch longer.

Arrive early for boarding
Plan to be at La Marina 15–20 minutes before departure to board, check accessibility needs, and secure a good viewpoint.
Protect against sun and spray
Bring sunscreen, a hat, and polarized sunglasses — the reflected sunlight off the sea intensifies UV exposure.
Prevent seasickness
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding; the catamaran is stable but the sea can roll.
Pack a light wind layer
Even on warm days the sea breeze can be cool; a light jacket or windbreaker makes the outing more comfortable.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
