History
Málaga’s coastline along the Costa del Sol has been a maritime hub since Phoenician times, with its port serving as a key trade point for centuries. The Alboran Sea, where this catamaran sails, is known for its rich marine biodiversity, including frequent dolphin sightings, and has been a focal point for fishing and exploration since antiquity. Modern catamaran tours, like those offered by Mundo Marino, emerged in the late 20th century to showcase Málaga’s scenic beauty and vibrant sunsets, blending leisure with eco-conscious exploration.
These tours highlight the city’s evolution from a historic port to a premier tourist destination, with views of landmarks like the Málaga skyline and distant Sierra de Málaga mountains. The tradition of enjoying cava, a Spanish sparkling wine, ties into the region’s culinary heritage, adding a touch of local culture to this serene sailing experience.

- Sip a glass of traditional Spanish cava (if option selected).
- Relax on a spacious catamaran with chill-out music.
