Catamaran Coastal Cruise
Wide, stable and shared — the sociable way to sail the strait
The experience
A catamaran does something no motor boat can: it goes quiet. Two hulls, almost no roll, and a netting deck at the bow where you can lie back with the sea rushing past a few inches beneath you.
The cruise runs out along the bay and back with the whole coastline in view — the medina stacked on its hill, the beaches, the cliffs beyond. There is a swimming stop when the sea allows, shade under the cockpit, and refreshments served on the way home.
Priced per person, so it works just as well for two of you as it does for a group of friends. Sunset departures are the ones that sell out first.

How the day unfolds
- 1
Meet your skipper
You are welcomed on the pontoon 15 minutes before departure, introduced to your skipper and shown around the boat.
- 2
Board your private boat
Store your bags, settle onto the sun deck and let the crew run through safety in plain English, French or Arabic.
- 3
Leave the marina
Slip past the breakwater and watch the white city rise behind you as the open water opens up ahead.
- 4
Cruise the coastline
Follow the cliffs west toward Cap Spartel, with the Atlantic on one side and the Strait of Gibraltar on the other.
- 5
Photo stops
The skipper holds position at the best angles — the lighthouse, the caves, the point where two seas meet.
- 6
Hidden beaches
Anchor off coves that can only be reached from the water, far from the crowds on the city beaches.
- 7
Swimming stop
Ladder down into clear, calm water. Take as long as you like — the boat is yours.
- 8
Snorkelling & floating
Masks, the floating mat and the inflatable come out. This is the part children never forget.
- 9
Relax on deck
Dry off in the sun, put your music on and enjoy refreshments while the coastline drifts past.
- 10
Return to the marina
A slow golden cruise home, back alongside with time to spare for dinner in town.
