Our take
This is not a classic sightseeing cruise: the highlight is the hour of swimming with a slide, which makes it a great summer outing for families. If you only want to see the city from the water, the short bay catamaran is cheaper.

Meeting point
Muelle Fernández Ladreda, 1, Cádiz (port).

The experience
What you will see
- The Cádiz skyline from the bay.
- The coast towards El Puerto de Santa María.
- La Puntilla beach, where the boat anchors for swimming.
How it works
You board at the port of Cádiz and sail for about 45 minutes to La Puntilla. The catamaran anchors there for an hour so you can swim and use the giant mats and slide. Then you sail back, with chill-out music on weekdays and a livelier vibe at weekends.
Who I recommend it for
- Families with children looking for a sea-and-swim day.
- Anyone wanting to cool off in summer without going to the beach.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Anyone wanting a guided heritage commentary.
- Stag and hen parties and party groups, which are not allowed.
Accessibility
Adapted catamaran with accessible restrooms. Wheelchair boarding depends on the tide, so confirm with the provider before your date.
Cancellation policy
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before, with a full refund.
