Catamaran tour Malaga: sailing and swimming in the bay
The bay stays quiet in the afternoon, which is when the catamaran goes out.
A catamaran tour in Malaga's bay combines sailing with a dedicated swimming stop in sheltered water, away from the crowded shoreline. The Mundo Marino catamaran carries you out for roughly 90 minutes, with a bathroom on board and access to the bar. You choose between a basic sailing tour or one with a DJ; public transport stops are nearby for getting to the departure point.

The Experience
The bay of Malaga is the route, and the catamaran does the work of getting you there without the noise and press of the main beaches. You sail out, find the calm water where the swimming stop happens, and spend time in the Mediterranean on your own terms—no organized activity, no crowded entry, just the water and the boat anchored nearby. The return journey gives you time to settle back in as the coast comes into view again.
The boat itself has what you need: a bathroom on board and a bar if you want a drink while you're sailing. You can pick the standard sailing tour or add a DJ to the afternoon, depending on what you're after. Public transport runs close to where you board, so getting there doesn't require a rental car or a long taxi ride.
What’s included
