If you’re in Torrevieja during the summer months with family or friends, or maybe celebrating a special occasion like a birthday or hen do, Torrevieja boat trips offer some of the most memorable experiences you can have.
If you’re looking for a relaxing afternoon cruise, want to celebrate with your group on a private boat, or fancy joining a lively party on the sea, you’ll find all of that here. I’ve put together all the best Torrevieja boat hire options to make your holiday extra special.
Relaxing catamaran cruises
Costa Blanca catamaran cruise
If you’re looking for a laid-back day on the water, this catamaran cruise from Marina Salinas is perfect. You’ll cruise along the Torrevieja coastline with amazing views of the town and its famous landmarks from the sea.

You can bring your own snacks and drinks onboard. There are comfortable beanbags where you can relax, plus a proper dining area if you prefer to sit at a table. When the captain drops anchor, you’ll have time for swimming and snorkelling in crystal-clear waters.
The boat has everything you need including freshwater showers, private changing rooms, and even stand-up paddleboards (SUP) if you fancy trying something new. Choose from morning, afternoon, or sunset departures – though I’d definitely recommend the sunset trip if you want something really special.
Apaleo catamaran experience
Similar to the above but with the lovely Apaleo catamaran, this 2-hour tour gives you plenty of time to soak up the sun and enjoy the Mediterranean waters. The crew are fantastic and you might even spot some dolphins if you’re lucky!

You’ll get the same relaxing experience with swimming stops, comfortable areas to sunbathe, and the option to bring your own refreshments. The boat has private changing rooms and the marina has toilets and showers for when you return.
Party boat experiences
Pirate Sunday party boat tour
Now this is something completely different! If you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want to have an absolute blast, the pirate-themed party boat is incredible fun.
Join the pirate party boat adventure from €60 per person
The concept is brilliant – multiple catamarans raft up together in the Mediterranean to create one massive floating party. They connect all the music systems between boats and crank up the volume for an unforgettable atmosphere. Don’t forget to bring your pirate hat!
You’ll still get all the usual activities like swimming, snorkelling, and using the SUP boards, but with party music pumping and loads of other people having a great time. The 2.5-hour duration gives you plenty of time to make friends and create amazing memories.
Private boat hire options

Perfect for couples or small groups wanting something intimate and romantic. These exclusive boats (acquired in 2024) take up to 7 passengers for a magical 1.5-hour sunset experience.

Private boat tour with skipper for groups
This is fantastic for families or groups of friends who want to discover Torrevieja’s fascinating maritime history while having their own private space on the water.

Your local skipper will share stories about Torrevieja through the ages – from salt trading to Barbary pirate attacks.

Did you know Torrevieja was once destroyed by an earthquake, or that salt income helped fund the discovery of America?
The 1.5-hour tour includes swimming and snorkelling stops at the best hidden coves, making it educational and fun for all ages.
Sunset catamaran tour with cava (groups up to 9)
If you’re a larger group celebrating something special, this private catamaran charter is absolutely perfect. The Isabel Alba is a magnificent Lagoon catamaran that can accommodate up to 12 people for 1.5 hours of pure luxury.

You’ll start by visiting the famous Pink Lagoon (Laguna Rosa) at the Torrevieja salt flats – it’s one of the most unique natural phenomena you’ll see, and the photos are absolutely incredible. Then it’s off to Santa Pola’s historic port to catch a boat to Tabarca Island.
Tabarca is magical – no cars, just traditional sailor houses, crystal-clear waters, and fantastic seafood restaurants. You’ll have free time for swimming, taking photos, and enjoying the island’s famous gastronomy. The day finishes with a guided tour of Santa Pola’s old town to learn about its Roman history.
