Sail Cartagena Bay with Raquel Tours: A three-hour catamaran adventure from your Murcia resort door
Music, sea breezes and a swim in the Mediterranean, all within easy reach of your resort this summer with Raquel Tours Murcia
If you're based at one of Murcia's golf resorts and looking for a day out with a difference, Raquel Tours Murcia has something really special on offer. Their catamaran excursions around Cartagena Bay are back for the summer season and with comfortable return transfers laid on from your resort, the whole thing couldn't be easier to organise.
The trip itself lasts three hours on the water, departing from Cartagena's historic marina, one of the oldest port cities in Spain with more than 2,000 years of history behind it. You'll sail past the port's lighthouse and ancient military forts before dropping anchor for an hour to swim or sunbathe in the open sea.
On the return leg, it's all about relaxing with music, a cold drink and the Cartagena skyline in the background. Every passenger also gets a complimentary snack pack on board, and it's worth holding onto the packaging because each one carries a number that goes into a raffle with prizes, so there's plenty to keep the good mood going on the way back.
Drinks and additional snacks are available to buy on board at reasonable prices and if you fancy making a full day of it, you can opt into a lunch or dinner at one of the seafront restaurants in Cartagena's old town after docking, where fresh fish, tapas and paella are all on the menu.
Transfers included from your resort
Raquel Tours provides comfortable return bus transfers from a range of Murcia resorts including Hacienda del Álamo Golf Resort, Condado de Alhama, Camposol, La Torre Golf Resort, Las Terrazas de la Torre, El Valle Golf Resort and Altaona Golf .
The journey to Cartagena takes around 45 to 60 minutes, making the total excursion around five hours from door to door.
