Costa Dorada Catamaran Cruise: Open Bar & Barbecue

Sail the Costa Dorada, swim in the coves, and eat while the boat drifts.

A 3-hour catamaran cruise along the Costa Dorada and Cap Salou with an open bar serving beer, wine, soft drinks and water; a barbecue meal on board; and a stop for swimming in clear waters. You choose your seating option (Balinese bed, upper deck or standard seat) at checkout, and vegetarian barbecue is available on request.

Step-by-step itinerary

Catamaran cruise with open bar and barbecue

• Board catamaran in Costa Dorada

• Relax on spacious sunbeds
• Enjoy open bar drinks
• Stop for swim in clear waters
• Have barbecue on board
• Admire coastline views
• Return to departure point

The experience

Three hours on the water means you sail the coastline of Cap Salou and La Pineda without the rush. The catamaran leaves from Cambrils and heads out past the coves and beaches that line the Costa Dorada, staying close enough to see the detail of the shore but far enough out that you feel the open sea. There's no itinerary to follow. You're on deck in the sun, in the water during the swimming stop, or at the bar whenever you want a drink.

The barbecue cooks on board while you're anchored in the bay, and the open bar runs the whole time: beer, wine, soft drinks and water included. A vegetarian option is available if you let them know when you book. The crew handles everything (captain, service, the cooking), so you're free to move between the sunbeds, the water and the bar without thinking about logistics. Snorkelling equipment is available to buy on board if you want to go deeper than a swim.

You pick your seating when you book: a Balinese bed on the upper level, a spot on the upper deck itself, or a standard seat lower down. Each one changes how you spend the three hours. The bed is for stretching out and staying put, the deck gives you the view and the breeze, and the standard seat keeps you closer to the action and the bar. Public transport runs near the departure point if you're coming from elsewhere in Catalonia.
