Only small niggle - despite there being a no smoking sign on the catamaran there was about 6 people smoking throughout the cruise.”

7.Catamaran ride -Costa Brava with barbecue and drinks. Familiar.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 278 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $60

“Only complaint was the time said 11am but was really a noon departure, so we got to explore the area a little beforehand. Also the cruise started out very rainy and windy the first half of 4 hour excursion and some people were seasick due to rough waters at no fault of the crew (gave Gilligan's Island vibes lol). Otherwise once weather turned better it was fun.”
