Catamaran trip with other groups along the Costa Brava. Saturday.

A party boat with room to breathe. This Saturday catamaran trip pairs Costa Brava views with a relaxed social setting, an onboard barbecue, music, and time to swim from an anchored cove. I like the large catamaran, which gives you several ways to spend the afternoon, and the easy food-and-drink package, which keeps the day simple for groups. The main thing to consider is the shared-party format: you will be sailing with other groups, not on a private charter.

The advertised price is $60.01 per person for about four hours. That is fair value if you plan to eat, have several drinks, swim, and enjoy the boat for most of the afternoon. It is less appealing if your main goal is quiet sailing, a private celebration, or a guided coastal tour with lots of history.

Key points before you book

• Departure from Lloret de Mar Beach: Meet at Passeig d’Agustí Font, 2, then return to the same point after the cruise.
• A social Saturday atmosphere: The catamaran is shared with other anniversary and celebration groups.
• Five drinks included: Choose from beer, sangria, or soft drinks, with water available as needed.
• Barbecue served on board: Beef burgers, marinated chicken, pasta, salad, and fruit salad make up the meal.
• Swimming and sunbathing time: The boat anchors near a Costa Brava cove, with mats, a trampoline, and a large netted sun area.
• Not suitable for bachelor parties: Costumes, whistles, megaphones, speakers, and organized group singing are not accepted.

Setting sail from Lloret de Mar Beach

Your four-hour outing begins at Passeig d’Agustí Font, 2, beside Lloret de Mar Beach. Private transportation is not included, so you need to arrange your own way to the meeting point. The activity ends back where it starts, which makes the plan easier than a one-way boat trip.

The first part is about getting settled aboard the large catamaran. Its size matters. You can move between the social areas, the sunbathing space, and the central section rather than being stuck in one small seating area. The boat is designed for celebration groups, so expect music, conversation, and a shared atmosphere from the beginning.

The maximum group size is 100 people. That is a fairly large crowd, and the experience will feel more like a floating afternoon party than a small sailing excursion. If you enjoy meeting new people and like a bit of noise, this adds energy. If you want personal service or a peaceful sail, it may feel busy.

The music is provided by a DJ, with volume limits in place. That detail is worth noting. The trip is meant to feel festive, but it is not advertised as a loud nightclub at sea. The tone is closer to a daytime celebration with music, drinks, food, and swimming.

Cruising along the Costa Brava coast

The catamaran travels along the Costa Brava, giving you a coastal view that is best enjoyed from the open areas of the boat. The appeal here is simple: you get to see the shoreline from the water while your crew handles the sailing and meal preparation.

This is not a history-focused cruise. There are no promised lectures about coastal villages, landmarks, or local culture. Instead, the coastline provides the setting for a social afternoon. You will have time to look out toward the rocky shore, take photographs, and enjoy the change of view as the boat moves away from the beach.

I would bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and a light layer. The experience is outdoors for much of the day, and conditions on the water can feel different from those on shore. Since the cruise depends on good weather, poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

The Saturday schedule may suit people building a weekend celebration around Lloret de Mar. It also means this is likely to be a popular day for group outings, so you should not expect a quiet, nearly empty boat.

Anchoring near a Costa Brava cove

The boat anchors in one of the coves near the rocks. This is the point where the trip shifts from a coastal cruise to a floating activity base. You can swim, use the mats, try the trampoline, or stretch out on the large solarium net.

The central bathtub has a covered area, giving you a place to cool off or sit with some shade. The trip information does not promise a specific cove, because the captain decides where to anchor. That is sensible for a boat outing, since weather, sea conditions, and safety can affect the choice.

Swimming is a major part of the value. If you enjoy getting into the water, the stop gives you more to do than simply sit at a table on a boat. The mats and trampoline add a playful touch, especially for a group celebrating an anniversary or family occasion.

You should also keep your expectations sensible. This is not a guided snorkeling trip, and no snorkeling equipment is listed as included. The reference to enjoying the seabed means you can look into the water while swimming, but the main activities are a dip, the mats, the trampoline, and sunbathing.

The cove stop is also when you can choose your own pace. One person can swim while another stays on the net, and someone else can join the games or simply enjoy the views. That mix works well for groups with different ideas of fun.

A barbecue lunch prepared on board

Once the catamaran is anchored, the crew prepares lunch on board. The main barbecue items are beef burgers and marinated chicken cubes. The chicken is described as gluten-free and halal, which gives some groups useful flexibility when planning a shared meal.

The meal also includes pasta with tomato sauce or salad, along with fruit salad. You are told to eat as much as you want, so this is not a small snack designed merely to accompany the drinks. It is a practical lunch for a half-day outing.

I like the fact that the food is prepared on the boat rather than requiring a stop at a restaurant. You do not lose time going ashore, and the meal becomes part of the experience. You can eat while anchored near the cove, then return to swimming or sunbathing.

Still, this is a casual barbecue, not a restaurant meal. If you are seeking refined cooking, a wide menu, or careful table service, this will not be the right match. The strength is convenience and quantity, not culinary detail.

The food choices also suggest that this trip works best for groups that want a straightforward meal. Pasta, salad, grilled meat, and fruit cover familiar preferences without making lunch complicated. If you have a serious allergy or a dietary need beyond the gluten-free and halal information provided, you should confirm details before booking.

Drinks, music, and the shared celebration

Five drinks are included per person. You can choose beer, sangria, or soft drinks, and water is available at will. The package is clear enough for most groups, although the wording about drinks should be read carefully: five included drinks are not the same as unlimited alcohol.

Additional drinks may be available from the bar for €2 per glass, but this is subject to the captain’s decision. I would budget for the included five rather than assume you can buy as many extras as you like.

A separate comment connected with the experience praises the good atmosphere, the views, and generous drinks. Those are the strongest reasons to choose this boat trip. The mood matters here as much as the route. The catamaran is built for groups that want to celebrate together without arranging food, music, and activities separately.

The shared setting is important. You will be with other anniversary groups and celebration parties, so the afternoon has a built-in social quality. That can make a birthday, family event, business gathering, or 50th anniversary feel more special. It can also mean you have less control over the music, seating, and pace.

Bachelor and bachelorette groups are not accepted. The restrictions are unusually specific: costumes, obscene objects, whistles, megaphones, speakers, and group singing are not permitted. You should not try to disguise a prohibited party as another type of booking. This boat is festive, but the operator is aiming for a controlled and family-friendly celebration atmosphere.

What the $60.01 price really covers

At $60.01 per person, the price includes roughly four hours on the catamaran, the cruise along the coast, the anchored cove stop, barbecue lunch, five drinks, water, music, and access to the onboard swimming features.

That is a solid package if you make use of most of it. A meal and several drinks alone account for part of the cost, while the boat time and swimming stop provide the rest of the value. For a group celebration, paying one set price can also be easier than splitting restaurant bills, boat hire, and activities.

The value drops if you do not drink, dislike group entertainment, or have no interest in swimming. In that case, you are paying for a party format that may not suit you. A private boat would offer more control, but this experience is specifically designed to keep the price lower by combining multiple groups.

The price does not include private transportation. You need to reach the Lloret de Mar meeting point yourself. It also does not promise private use of the boat, a personal guide, or specialty water-sports equipment.

Who will enjoy this catamaran most

I would recommend this trip to you if you want a relaxed celebration with a ready-made plan. It suits friends, families, work groups, and anniversary parties that want food, drinks, music, and a swim without organizing each piece separately.

It is also a good choice for a mixed group. Swimmers can use the mats and trampoline, while non-swimmers can sit in the covered central area or on the sunbathing net. The large boat gives people some choice about how active or social they want to be.

You may want to skip it if you are looking for a romantic sailing trip for two, a quiet nature outing, or a small boat with personal attention. The capacity of up to 100 people and the shared-party setup define the experience.

The restrictions also rule it out for bachelor and bachelorette celebrations. If your group depends on costumes, loud props, megaphones, or organized chanting, this is not the right boat.

Booking, weather, and timing tips

The experience is often booked about 41 days ahead, so I would not leave a Saturday reservation until the last minute, especially if your group is tied to a particular celebration date. Confirmation is provided at booking.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund. The cut-off follows local time in Spain.

Bad weather can cancel the outing. In that case, you are offered another date or a full refund. The same applies if the minimum number of participants is not reached. This policy gives you useful protection, but it is still wise to avoid building an entire weekend around the boat until the weather looks settled.

Should you book this Costa Brava catamaran?

Book it if you want four hours of coastal scenery, swimming, barbecue food, five drinks, and a cheerful shared setting. At $60.01, it offers good value for a group celebration, particularly because the meal and activities are already arranged.

Skip it if you want silence, privacy, fine dining, or a guided account of the Costa Brava. The boat can hold up to 100 people, and the atmosphere depends on sharing the afternoon with other groups.

My practical advice is to choose this trip for the mood rather than for sightseeing alone. Arrive ready for music, a casual barbecue, and time in the water. If that sounds like your ideal Saturday in Lloret de Mar, this catamaran offers an easy and reasonably priced way to enjoy the coast.
