The catamaran slips away from Gandía’s marina and the city’s low-rise beachfront recedes into a band of sand and sea. Warm Mediterranean wind pushes the vessel along the coastline as passengers spread out to sunbathe on the trampoline, headphones muted except for the shuff of waves and the skipper’s call when the boat slows for the swim stop.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The boat offers shade but sun reflects strongly off the water—use reef‑safe SPF to protect skin and marine life.
Wear quick‑dry swimwear and a towel
You’ll have a supervised swim stop; a compact towel and swimwear make the most of the short window in the water.
Consider seasickness preventative
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication or pick a central seat near the boat’s midline before departure.
Light luggage only
