Spain · CATAMARAN CRUISES
The formula rarely changes — sail out, anchor in a cove, swim, eat, sail back — so the differences that matter are the boat, the crowd and the lunch. Compare the 15 below on hours on the water, food and how many people share the deck.

Sail from Malaga on a sunset catamaran, sip cava, hear chill-out music, and choose a light show for night skyline views over the Mediterranean.

Near-shore Tenerife whale watching by catamaran with free drinks, an almost sure pilot whale chance, and a 3-hour snorkeling option.
“We had a great time on our whale watching tour. We saw some pilot whales and bottle nose dolphins. Mario and Tony were excellent guides. They gave great information about the whales in the area and were always making sure we knew which sides of the boat to keep an eye on. The swim spot was great with snorkels provided to have a look at the fish swimming below. Would definitely recommend this trip!”
