Lloret de Mar: Catamaran Cruise with Food, Drinks, and Music
The best part of this three-hour catamaran cruise is the mix of scenery and seaside fun. You sail past the rugged coves between Lloret de Mar and St Feliu, then get time to swim, snorkel, slide, jump from the upper deck, or simply sit in the water with a cold drink.
I like the free bar and buffet, which make the $57 price easier to justify, and I like the crew’s energy. Olivia receives special praise for getting people dancing and joining the games. The main consideration is that this is a lively party boat, not a quiet sightseeing cruise, and getting back aboard after swimming can be awkward.

Key points to know before booking
- The route follows the Costa Brava’s wild coves between Lloret de Mar and St Feliu, giving you open-water views rather than a town-by-town tour.
- Food and drinks are included, with burgers, hot dogs, tuna salad, beer, cava sangria, soft drinks, and water.
- The swimming break is the heart of the trip, with a waterslide, trampoline, floating blocks, snorkeling gear, and an upper-deck jump.
- Music and entertainment run through the outing, including games, dancing, and activities led by the onboard team.
- This is for adults aged 18 and over, and bachelor groups, party groups, costumes, drugs, and intoxication are not allowed.
- Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, and flip-flops, and keep in mind that transfers to the meeting point are not included.
Sailing the coves between Lloret de Mar and St Feliu
This cruise is built around two things: the Costa Brava from the water and a floating party once the boat reaches a suitable swimming area. From the meeting point at Passeig Agusti Font 4 in Lloret de Mar, you head along the coast toward St Feliu, passing the coves of the authentic wild coast.
That route matters because the coast looks different from a catamaran. From shore, Lloret de Mar can feel busy and built up. From the water, the view opens out to rocky inlets, clear Mediterranean water, and stretches of coast that are hard to appreciate from a road or beach promenade.
Do not book this expecting a guided history lesson or a long list of named stops. The provided details focus on views, food, music, and water time. You are there to enjoy the coast at a relaxed pace, not to collect formal sightseeing stops.
The boat does not simply sail for three hours without a break. A large part of the appeal comes when the catamaran pauses for swimming and water activities. One account describes roughly an hour in the sea, giving you enough time to try several activities or settle onto a float with a drink.

What the three-hour schedule feels like
The exact starting time depends on availability, but the total duration is three hours. That is long enough to feel like a proper outing without taking up an entire day in Catalonia.
At the start, the onboard team sets a social tone with music, drinks, and entertainment. Games and dancing are part of the plan, so you do not need to create your own fun or know anyone else on the boat. You can join in, watch from the side, or focus on the views.
As the boat follows the coast, you can move between the open deck, the bar area, and the spots set aside for water activities. The cruise is designed for a group atmosphere, which means the experience works best when you are comfortable with music, announcements, and people being encouraged to take part.
The swimming period is the main change of pace. You can jump from the upper deck, use the waterslide, bounce on the trampoline, or float in the sea. Snorkeling equipment is available onboard if you want to look for Mediterranean marine life.
The phrase water activities should be understood in a practical way. This is not a guided snorkeling trip or a dedicated marine wildlife excursion. You are given equipment and access to the water, but the main point is free time, swimming, and play.
The food and free bar at $57
At $57 per person, the price is fair if you make good use of the inclusions. You receive a three-hour cruise, a buffet, drinks, entertainment, and several ways to get into the water. Paying separately for a boat trip, lunch, drinks, and water activities could easily add up, particularly in a popular resort town.
The food is simple rather than gourmet. The buffet includes freshly cooked hamburgers with different toppings, hot dogs, and tuna fish salad. It is the sort of meal that suits a swimming break and a casual afternoon. You can grab food without leaving the boat or planning a separate restaurant stop.
The quality seems less consistent than the quantity. Some feedback describes the barbecue food as good and the overall value as excellent. Another account calls the food average and notes that plates and cutlery would have helped when serving salad.
My advice is to book this for convenience, not cuisine. The food keeps the afternoon moving and saves you the cost of lunch, but you should not compare it with a sit-down meal in Lloret de Mar.
The drinks are a stronger part of the deal. Beer, cava sangria, soft drinks, and water are included through the cruise. Fast bar service has also been noted, which matters when many people want a drink during the swimming break.
You still need to pace yourself. The rules prohibit intoxication, and alcohol or drugs cannot be brought onboard. The cruise is adults only, but that does not mean unlimited drinking is the point. The crew’s job is to keep the atmosphere fun and safe, so follow the boat rules.
Music, games, and Olivia’s upbeat style
This is not a boat where entertainment means a single playlist in the background. The team uses music, games, dancing, and group activities to keep the energy up.
Olivia is singled out for her ability to get the party started, and a Zumba session with her is one of the more distinctive details attached to the trip. You might find yourself dancing on deck, joining a drinking game, or watching others take part while you enjoy the view.
That social focus can be a real advantage if you are traveling with friends or want an easy way to meet people. You do not need to organize a playlist, bring beach games, or work out how to fill the time between coves. The entertainers do that for you.
It can also be a drawback if your ideal boat trip means quiet conversation and uninterrupted scenery. The music begins early, and the outing is built around a party atmosphere. The coast is a major part of the setting, but it is not the sole focus.
The atmosphere also depends partly on the people onboard. The crew can lead games and create momentum, but they cannot guarantee that every group will be outgoing. If the crowd is subdued, the trip may feel less lively despite the staff’s effort.

Jumping, sliding, floating, and snorkeling
The catamaran gives you several ways to use the water. The upper-deck jump is the boldest option. It is a simple thrill, but it becomes a highlight because you can jump with friends and then spend time swimming near the boat.
The waterslide is a good choice if you want something playful without climbing to the highest point. A trampoline and floating blocks add more variety, though the core activities remain swimming, jumping, and relaxing.
Snorkeling equipment is available if you want to see Mediterranean sea life. Keep your expectations sensible. This is equipment for self-guided use during free time, not a naturalist-led snorkeling session with a planned reef or wildlife route.
The water break is also the best time to slow down. You can sit on a float, cool off with a drink, and look back at the boat and coves from sea level. That contrast between energetic games and quiet floating is one of the reasons the cruise suits mixed groups.
There is one practical issue you should take seriously: getting back onto the boat after swimming may be difficult. A report describes the reboarding process as awkward and potentially dangerous. Use the provided access point carefully, wait your turn, and do not rush when the ladder or boarding area is busy.
The views from the water
The route between Lloret de Mar and St Feliu gives you a broad look at the Costa Brava’s wild coast. The coves are the visual reward, especially when viewed from offshore rather than from a crowded beach.
You will not be stopping at every cove. The cruise is a moving coastal trip with a swimming pause, so the best way to enjoy the views is to keep some time free from the bar and dance area. Bring sunglasses, since the open water and bright Mediterranean sun can be hard on your eyes.
A phone or camera can be useful, but protect it around the swimming area. The supplied information does not promise storage facilities, waterproof cases, or a photography service, so you should plan around your own belongings.
The cruise gives you a different sense of the coast than a land excursion. You see the coves as part of one long shoreline rather than as isolated beach stops. That is valuable if you are staying in Lloret de Mar and want a change from the town’s beaches and streets.
Who will enjoy this catamaran cruise
I would recommend it most strongly to adults who want a social afternoon with built-in entertainment. It works especially well for friends, couples who enjoy lively activities, and solo visitors who prefer a structured group setting to a quiet day alone.
You should be happy with:
- Loud or energetic music
- Group games and dancing
- Swimming from the boat
- Casual buffet food
- Beer and sangria being part of the atmosphere
- Joining in, or at least being around people who do
You may prefer another type of boat trip if you want a peaceful sail, a formal meal, a small group, or a detailed coastal commentary. This cruise does not present itself as an exclusive yacht charter or a specialist snorkeling tour.
Children under 18 are not allowed. Bachelor party groups and other party groups are also not permitted, despite the cruise’s party character. Costumes, drugs, and intoxication are prohibited. These rules point to a supervised adult social outing rather than an anything-goes boat party.
Meeting point and what to pack
The meeting point is Passeig Agusti Font 4 in Lloret de Mar. Transfers are not included, so you need to make your own way there. The location is along the beachfront and has been described as easy to find.
Wear swimwear under light clothing if that suits you, and bring a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, and flip-flops. Flip-flops are useful for moving around the deck, but you should follow any crew instructions about footwear and wet surfaces.
A towel is particularly important because you may swim, use the slide, and spend time on floating equipment. Sunscreen matters even more on the water, where the sun feels strong and shade may be limited.
Remember that the cruise includes drinks and food, but the supplied details do not list personal items such as phone storage, extra clothing, or medication. Bring only what you need and keep valuables secure.
You can cancel up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund. The reserve-now, pay-later option lets you hold a place without paying immediately, which is useful if your Costa Brava schedule is still changing. Check available starting times before booking.
The small drawbacks that can affect your day
The biggest concern is reboarding after the swim. If you are not confident in the water, or if climbing a boat ladder is difficult for you, the swimming portion may be less enjoyable. The activity is not presented as suitable for children, but there is no detailed accessibility information, so contact the provider if you have mobility concerns.
Boat toilets are another weak point. One account found them unclean, a reminder that facilities on a busy catamaran may not match the standard of a hotel or restaurant.
The food is practical but basic. Burgers and hot dogs are a good fit for a casual swim, while the tuna salad gives you a lighter option. If you need a particular diet, the supplied information does not promise vegetarian, vegan, allergy-friendly, or gluten-free alternatives.
Finally, the mood depends on the crowd. The entertainment team can lead games, dancing, and activities, but you may find the atmosphere quieter if other people do not join in. That is less a fault with the route than a fact of any group party excursion.
Should you book the Lloret de Mar catamaran cruise?
Book it if you want a social Costa Brava boat day with food, drinks, music, and swimming included. The $57 cost offers good value when you use the bar, buffet, and water activities, and the three-hour length fits neatly into a beach holiday.
The cruise is particularly appealing if the idea of jumping from the upper deck, sliding into the sea, dancing with the crew, and relaxing on a float sounds better than sitting quietly on a sightseeing boat. Olivia and the entertainment team add a personal touch, and the coastal route gives the outing more than a simple pool-party feel.
Skip it if you want silence, refined food, a small group, or a carefully guided snorkeling experience. Also think twice if climbing back onto a boat from the water could be difficult.
For the right mood, this is an easy, good-value way to see the coves between Lloret de Mar and St Feliu while making a full afternoon of the Mediterranean.
