We hired the catamaran for the sunset cruise from Albuferia marina. It was the best experience ever. The crew on the boat were very friendly and helpful. The sunset was amazing. I can’t recommend this Catamaran more. Me and my 19 friends had an unbelievable time. It was for my friends hen doo and she said she had the lost amazing experience. We had the spirits open bar and it was all good branded spirits. Drink were lovely. We will be hiring again when we come back to Albuferia. Thanks to Nunu, Marcello, Thomas and Lucas for looking after us so well. Many thanks Helen

The catamaran was fantastic and our guide Carlos was outstanding. He was informative, helpful and went out of his way to make sure we had both a good time on the boat but also with suggestions of places to go and eat on our holiday. I can not recommend this experience enough.
