Taking a boat trip around Malaga and its bay has become a must, an essential attraction for any traveler or tourist who comes to the city. In addition, thanks to the excellent climate of the city, it can be done almost all year round. Take a Catamaran in Malaga for Sightseeing Cruises & Boat Trips is an alternative way of contemplating the city, its profiles and its most representative buildings.
There are many options to get to know Malaga from the sea, from quiet rides in small boats, tourist boats, sailboats to catamarans, party-oriented boats or renting a boat for the most daring.
Next, we detail the companies that offer catamarans in Malaga, the best boat trips in Malaga and useful information to be able to choose the one that suits you best.
The opening of Muelle Uno has further promoted these activities, with all the companies located in the area of the port of Malaga in front of the Center Pompidou Málaga.
Boat trips around Malaga: list, schedules and prices.
All the boat trips around Malaga follow the same pattern: one hour long (or 90 minutes in high season), with a variable route (east-west) depending on the sea, but which will allow us to observe Malaga from another point of view. It is a delight to observe the Ferris wheel, the Cathedral, the Alcazaba or the Gibralfaro castle from the sea.
The prices of the boat trips through Malaga from Muelle Uno (Pier One) have been unified, in almost all cases, at €12 for adults and €8 for children, although in cases of special departures to see the sunset of Malaga from the sea the prices increase up to 20-25€/person.
If you are looking for the typical boat trip in Malaga, with two languages available (English and Spanish) and with multiple schedules, this is your option. It is the company City Sightseeing, the company of the famous red tourist buses of the cities, which have now been added to the offer of boat trips in Malaga with the Red Boat boat. It is a catamaran, but due to its characteristics I have preferred to keep it in the category of boats.
Of course, it will not be the most relaxed option (capacity for 150 people), if you are looking to have some tranquility on the boat trip through the bay of Malaga.
