Málaga: Sunset Catamaran Trip

8.Sunset Catamaran Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,200 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $27

Sail out of Málaga for a chill 1.5-hour sunset catamaran ride with music, a bar, and skyline views over the Mediterranean.

“Highly recommend this boat tour! The sunset tour is a must, although it would be lovely during the day to fully enjoy the sunshine. The staff were fantastic - at the port and also onboard. So friendly and welcoming. Drinks on board were fairly priced. Would recommend arriving half an hour early for boating if you want to secure a net seating as it’s first come first served. Although any seating on board would be ideal. Can’t recommend it enough! Thank you for this lovely experience.”
