Party Cruise with Lunch & Swimming in Valencia

Dance on the water, swim in open sea, eat paella, then cocktails ashore

A 3-hour party cruise from Valencia's Port combines dancing to a resident DJ, a swimming stop in the bay, and a full lunch of paella with a drink aboard the catamaran. After returning to port, the day continues with a cocktail and tapa at a beachfront bar 350 meters away. Minimum age is 18; both the cruise and the beach stop happen on the same day and require you to travel between them on your own.

The Experience

The catamaran leaves from the Port of Valencia, one of the city's most exclusive areas. Once aboard the spacious boat, you can sit or lie on the mesh net while the DJ starts the music and the coast slides past. The crew sails along the Valencian bay and beaches, and you move between dancing, sunbathing and drinks as the mood takes you. The pace is yours—there's no schedule forcing you from one end of the boat to the other.

A stop for swimming happens in open water away from the crowded beaches. After you get back on board, lunch arrives: salad, paella, seasonal fruit, and a drink (sangría, beer or soft drink per person). The music picks up again as the boat heads back to port. The whole cruise runs about 3 hours from departure to landing.

Once ashore, you walk 350 meters to Playa de las Arenas beach, where a waterfront pub is waiting. There you'll have a cocktail (alcoholic or not, your choice) and a tapa—one shared between two people, with options like nachos with guacamole, Russian salad, spicy potatoes, ham, cod or spinach-goat cheese croquettes, or small squid. Dress code is informal; you'll need to change out of wet clothes and cover your torso before entering. Tickets arrive a few days before the date; bring them to the boarding point.
