Fire crews from Benissa and Denia were scrambled to the scene.
On arrival, significant flames were coming from the vessel with concern that the fire could spread to other boats docked a short distance away.
Given the risk of the fire spreading, firefighters focused their efforts on isolating the burning catamaran.
Their work stopped the blaze from spreading but the catamaran was totally burned out.
It eventually sunk, but no details about its owner have so far been made public.
Nobody was injured as a result of the incident with inquiries launched to work out what caused the explosion.
