I had to rewrite this blog post because of the missing ferry from Malaga to Marbella (watertaxi was its name), not available anymore. While doing a little research I found a ferry that connects Fuengirola and Benalmadena and also found interesting catamaran excursions from Malaga.
I think many of you who are looking for a boat trip from the Port of Malaga might like it, so I will share all the information I have gathered.
Remember to be prepared for the occasion. If you go in winter, it’s best to wear warm clothes, but in summer you can’t forget your bathing suit, towel and a good protective lotion for the sun. Depending on the type of excursion you choose, the date and the state of the sea, the captain will allow you to stop for a refreshing swim in the Mediterranean.
Catamaran excursion from the Port of Malaga
If you are looking for a boat trip or a catamaran excursion from the Port of Malaga continue reading. All the timetable information has been kindly provided to me after contacting them, their response was very quick.
The company Mundo Marino offers you a catamaran with a capacity of up to 100 people from the Bay of Malaga with trips of 1 to 3 hours, depending on whether we choose the excursion to see the sunset or with barbecue on board. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
Sunset from the sea
If you are interested in the option of watching a sunset from the sea you are lucky, there is availability throughout most of the year but it is better to make sure of the weather. You can’t miss the included glass of champagne to enjoy a romantic sunset.
The duration is 1 hour and a half, the catamaran leaves every day of the week. Don’t forget to take some nice pictures and share them with us 😉
