A dinner on a boat in Mallorca It is the most underutilized category of romantic or intimate dining on the island. We usually think of restaurants with ocean views — but the difference is enormous between see the sea and be in the sea. When you dine at anchor in a cove with the sun setting, the boat at your exclusive disposal, the skipper in the bow leaving you your space, the experience is of a different order. And the cost, surprisingly, is not disproportionate compared to a high-end restaurant for 4-6 people.

The most requested format is sunset-dinner (4-5h, 18:00-22:30 or similar): departure from the port, short navigation to a cove (Cala Mago, Portals Vells, Cala Pi), anchoring, sunset from the deck with aperitif, dinner on board, after-dinner meal with the moon and stars, return to the port. For special celebrations (anniversary, marriage proposal, special birthday), there is no better setting in Mallorca.

We coordinate the catering: from a light aperitif dinner that you can bring yourself (~25-55€/p) up to tasting menu with private chef on board (from €90/p, up to €200/p in high-end version). For couples, the small sailboats They are perfect. For groups up to 10-12, the catamarans or premium yachts give more space. If this sounds like your plan, see also romantic walk and sunset departure —they are sister pages.

The fleet

The 15 boats for a private dinner

Sailboats and catamarans in La Lonja Marina, Palma. For couples: intimate small sailboat. For group: premium catamaran or yacht with equipped chef's kitchen.

Why dine on a boat

What a dinner boat has that no restaurant can offer

It's not just the setting — it's the combination of privacy, sunset, careful food and total absence of distractions that makes it unique.

🤫

Total privacy

Just you and the skipper (who stays in the bow or upper deck). No table next to you listening, no waiters passing by every 5 minutes. The conversation is yours. For a marriage proposal, an important conversation or an intimate anniversary, there is no substitute.

🌅

Sun falling into the sea

The timing is designed so that the sunset coincides with the appetizer or first course. Mallorca has consistently good western sunsets from May to October. The difference between seeing it from a restaurant with a view and seeing it floating on the water is enormous.

👨‍🍳

Chef on board optional

We coordinate a private chef who cooks in the boat's kitchen (the kitchens of the Jeanneau Yacht 54 and the Lagoon catamarans are perfectly equipped). Personalized tasting menu, selected wines, careful presentation. Or if you prefer, a light appetizer-type dinner that you bring.

🍷

Wines on board

No expensive menu surprises, no corkage restrictions. You bring your favorite wines (or we buy them for you from a selected Majorcan winery). The boat has a refrigerator to keep them at temperature. Zero markup compared to the store price.

🎉

Ideal for celebrations

Important birthdays, anniversaries, marriage proposals, honeymoon trips. Coordinable with special details (bouquet of flowers on board, message on the cover, ring hidden in the dessert, etc.). Skipper discretion guaranteed.

Discreet pattern

The skipper runs the boat — anchor safely, manage the dinghy if you go ashore, keep everything in order. But he stays in his zone, he doesn't participate in your dinner. If you need something, you call him. If not, you won't even notice it.

Frequently asked questions

What we get asked most about boat dinners

How much does a boat dinner cost for a couple?

Small sailboat (Cotufa, Tizón) sunset-dinner, 4-5h with skipper: from €750. If you add a chef's dinner on board (~€90/p × 2 = €180), the total is around €930 for a couple. Expensive compared to a normal restaurant, but comparable or cheaper than a high-end restaurant with a tasting menu + wines in Mallorca — and with incomparable scenery.

Who organizes the catering?

Three options: (1) you bring dinner (gourmet sandwiches, cold cuts, wine, dessert — at no extra cost), (2) We coordinate light catering such as appetizers (~25-€55/p, pre-prepared, easy), (3) We hire a private chef who cooks on board with a tasting menu (from €90/p, up to €200/p in high-end). The chef goes out on the boat with you, cooks in the boat's kitchen, serves.

Which boat is best for dinner?

For couples or 2 couples: small-medium sailboat (Cotufa, Tomeu, Katalina) — intimate, secluded, romantic. For a group of 4-8 with a more elaborate dinner: Lagoon 43 catamaran or large sailboat (Joulukka, Tefiti) — space for a formal table on deck. For a premium event with chef and careful service: premium fleet yachts (Lagoon 46, Jeanneau Yacht 54).

In which cove do you usually have dinner?

The most used for dinner: Cala Mago (near Palma, quick departure after port, perfect sunset), Portals Vells (more intimate, rock walls), Cala Pi (further south, requires earlier departure). For maximum sunset, west-southwest side of Mallorca. The skipper proposes according to the weather of the day and your preference.

How long does it usually last?

Standard format: 4-5h. For example: 18:00 departure from port → 19:00 anchorage in cove with aperitif and sunset → 20:00-22:00 dinner → 22:00-22:30 after dinner with moon → 22:30 return to port. If you want to extend it (long after dinner, drink after dinner), we coordinate it as a night out — see night walk.

Is it a good romantic plan for a couple?

One of the best romantic plans possible in Mallorca. Total privacy, sunset, no distractions, spectacular setting. For a wedding proposal or important anniversary, the "wow factor" is practically guaranteed. More detail in romantic boat ride.

Do you coordinate marriage proposals?

Yes, with discretion. Coordinates: bouquet of flowers hidden on board, message "Will you marry me?" on visible deck when anchoring, timing moment (ring in the dessert), specific music at sunset, discreet photographer who goes out with you. The boss is aware and maintains total reserve. Give 1-2 weeks notice to prepare well.
