Lloret de Mar: Catamaran Sailing Cruise with BBQ and Drinks

Imagine sailing along the rugged coastline of Costa Brava, feeling the sea breeze, listening to good music, and savoring a homemade BBQ—all while floating on a beautiful catamaran. For about $55 per person, this 3.5 to 4-hour trip offers a fun mix of relaxation, adventure, and authentic coastal scenery. Whether you’re with friends, family, or celebrating a special occasion, this cruise promises a memorable day on the water.

You’ll start at the Paseig Agustí Font in Lloret de Mar, where the crew will welcome you aboard the spacious vessel. The highlight? An itinerary that combines stunning coastal views—cliffs, caves, and secluded beaches—with refreshing swims in crystal-clear water. We particularly love the opportunity to lounge on the big net at the bow, feeling like you’re floating over the sea, and the delicious BBQ meal served onboard, which really hits the spot after a swim.

One thing to consider is that this trip is weather-dependent. Heavy seas or rain might lead to cancellations, so it’s worth checking the forecast before you go. Also, space can be limited on the boat, especially in the common areas, so arriving early helps.
