Set sail from La Marina de Valencia for a three-hour catamaran cruise that combines a swim stop, paella cooked on board, and a post-landing cocktail at Playa de las Arenas. Practical, scenic, and rooted in Valencian coastal culture, this trip is an easy way to feel the sea.

The catamaran slips free of La Marina de Valencia and the city shoreline slides aft—the harbor cranes standing watch as the sea invites you out. Salted wind drifts over the deck, the mesh net hums underfoot, and the bay pulls you toward open water where the current tests your balance and the horizon keeps its own slow promise.

Arrive Early for Boarding
Plan to arrive 20–30 minutes before departure to present tickets and receive safety briefings; boarding windows are strict.
Sun Protection Is a Must
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses—the sun reflects strongly off water and the mesh net has little shade.
Swim Stop Safety
Only swim when crew signals; currents can be stronger beyond the shallows and inflatables are available for casual fun.
Dietary Requests Ahead of Time
If you need vegetarian or allergy-friendly paella, note it at booking to ensure the kitchen can accommodate.
Swimsuit
Needed for the swim stop and lounging on the deck mesh net.
