The cruises compared here
Both are short, both cost little, and both are rated above 8. What changes is the water: the catamaran sails off the city from the Marina de Valencia, and the boat crosses the Albufera Natural Park.
Here is what each listing says, with the daytime catamaran as a cheaper alternative.
1What each one is
The sunset catamaran sails for about 90 minutes at the end of the day from the Marina de Valencia, with views of Malvarrosa beach, the port and the city skyline, and a glass of cava. The crew speaks English. Access to the boat nets depends on the selection.
The Albufera ride is 45 minutes in a traditional boat through the canals and rice fields of the Natural Park, with a short introduction to its plants and wildlife from an English-speaking guide. The Civitatis search shows one hour in total.
2Price, score and meeting point
The catamaran costs from €25 and has an 8.1 from 386 reviews. The Albufera boat costs from €5 and has a 9.1 from 1,005 reviews. The daytime catamaran costs from €15, with an 8.3 from 256 reviews, and the listing mentions no drink.
The catamaran meets at the Mundo Marino boat in front of the Veles e Vents building, 30 minutes early. The Albufera boat leaves from Carrer del Santíssim Crist de la Salut 17, in El Palmar, and the listing asks you to be there 10 minutes early. All three can be cancelled for free up to 24 hours before.
3Which one to book
Book the catamaran if the sunset is the point and you want to see Valencia from the sea. Book the Albufera boat if you want the best score for the least money and are happy to travel to El Palmar.
The catamaran listing gives no departure time, so choose the slot that matches sunset on your date and check the booking page.
