Review of Cádiz’s 1.5-hour sunset catamaran cruise, with Bay views, cava, live music options, access tips, and honest advice on value.
“overall good, of comfortable and safe with relaxed music and guide commentary. however, I purchased a glass of White wine at the bar. Got a glass 50% filled by a large Ice cube, and then a splash of wine poured on top. wine is dirt cheap here. felt ripped off.”
Cruise Cádiz Bay for 75 minutes by catamaran, with landmark views, multilingual audio, a bar, and a choice of north or south routes.
“Very nice boat tour, very relaxed. Not a lot of sailing but a lovely hour in the sun with a bar on the boat and some nice insights on the landmarks past. A different view of the city. Would recommend for a quiet hour on the water”
Watch the sunset from a modern catamaran, sip cava, and see Sancti Petri Castle and Cádiz Bay Natural Park for $24.
Sail from Sancti Petri Marina past Cádiz marshes, dunes, castle ruins, and La Barrosa beach on a relaxed, low-cost catamaran tour.
“The activity is very enjoyable and entertaining. I recommend arriving well in advance, as parking is difficult and the woman at the office rushes you if you arrive at the exact time, arguing with you. The rest of the service is excellent.”
Cruise Cádiz Bay from Sancti Petri to the castle, swim from a catamaran, use the slide, and enjoy lunch for a relaxed three-hour outing.
“We took our family (teens) on this and it was a great trip. Much cooler out at sea and the swim stop was marvellous - sheltered bay but too far out to swim to land. They had a water mat and a small slide for littler ones. Lots of drinks for sale, limited food. Lovely boat - clean loo. Nets at the front to sunbathe on and lots of tables and benches too. Boat was well under capacity.”
Sail Cadiz Bay at sunset on a private 12-meter yacht, with views of La Pepa Bridge and La Caleta, for up to six people.
“Salva was an amazing captain!! Very accommodating and did everything he could to make it the best trip possible -even called us a cab home afterwards. It made our whole weekend!! ¡Salva fue un capitán increíble! Fue muy servicial e hizo todo lo posible para que nuestro viaje fuera lo mejor posible; incluso nos pidió un taxi para volver a casa después. ¡Nos alegró el fin de semana!”
A private four-hour yacht trip from Puerto Sherry to Cádiz Bay, with La Pepa Bridge, beach swimming, a paddle board, and a floating mat.
“We had the most amazing family day out - it is such a wonderful boat and Salva is the most welcoming and easy going host! We booked v late the night before but Salva got in touch quickly with clear directions and information. It is the highlight of our holiday!”
Pick a palace, a tablao or a bodega.
