The Difference Between the Ferry and the Mascalzone Catamaran
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the cruise is aboard the Estrella Fugaz ferry, which accommodates 150 people. This vessel provides ample space and a lively atmosphere, ideal for larger groups or those wanting a more social experience.
On Saturdays, the Mascalzone catamaran with 40 seats is available for a more intimate experience. Its smaller size means a quieter environment, perfect for couples or small groups who want to enjoy the sunset with fewer people around. Both options deliver the same core experience of relaxing on the water with cava and music, but the size and atmosphere differ.
