He sunset by boat in Mallorca It is, without a doubt, the departure with the best quality-price ratio of the entire maritime offer on the island. Three to four hours (not a full day), leaves from La Lonja Marina at sunset, watch the sunset from the sea (the only position where it really shines), aperitif or cava on board, optional swimming stop in a cove. You return to the port at dusk. It costs from 600€ on a small sailboat — for a group of 4-6 it costs €100-150/p, totally affordable.

The departures are adjusted to sunset according to the month: May at 9:00 p.m. (departure 6:00 p.m.), June at 9:20 p.m. (departure 7:00 p.m.), July at 9:15 p.m. (departure 7:00 p.m.), August at 8:45 p.m. (departure 6:30 p.m.), September at 8:00 p.m. (departure 5:30 p.m.), October at 7:15 p.m. (departure 4:30 p.m.). The skipper knows the best areas for anchoring or slow sailing facing the sun — usually the west side of the bay of Palma or near Cala Mago.

The most popular format is the classic sunset (3-4h, see above). If you want to extend dinner, I recommend reading dinner on boat (which is 4-5h with formal dinner). For exclusive version on luxury yacht, luxury yacht ride It has premium sunset format. For an intimate celebration, romantic walk. For large festive group: boat party Departing at sunset and returning late. Everyone shares the sunset as their star moment.

Why the sunset

Why the sunset by boat is the outing with the best quality-price ratio

If you have any kind of doubt about what to do in Mallorca by sea, the sunset is the sure answer. These are the six arguments.

🌅

Sunset from the sea

The sunset from the sea in Mallorca is objectively more beautiful than from land. Without obstacles, without full terraces, with the reflection in the water, with the perspective of the entire coast in the background. It's the position Instagram wants to capture — and here's the real version.

⏱️

Only 3-4h, not full day

You don't need to reserve a whole day. You leave around 18:00-19:00, return to the port around 22:00-22:30. You have time for dinner ashore or a drink later. Compatible with a normal day of tourism.

💶

Most affordable price

Small sailboat with sunset pattern: from €600. For 4-6 people, it costs €100-150/p — clearly cheaper than the full day (€1,300) or many tourist alternatives. The most affordable sea departure with the best "wow factor" per euro.

🥂

Appetizer or cava included

You bring your bottle or we coordinate: cava + aperitif on board from €25/p. Perfect atmosphere for toasts with a view of the sunset. For casual celebrations (a birthday, a group trip, a first day of vacation), the format is ideal.

🏖️

Optional swim stop

If the group feels like it, we stop in a cove before sunset (usually Cala Mago) for a quick 30-minute dip. It bathes you, you rinse off, and you get on the boat for the sunset with the feeling of a day at the beach. If you don't feel like it, direct navigation.

If you prefer to bring your bottle, without extra cost or restriction. For formal dining on board, see dinner on boat (4-5h format with careful dinner).

Is it a good plan for couples or groups?

For both. For couplesintimate, small sailboat is perfect (see romantic walk). For festive groups of 6-12, catamaran or large sailboat with aperitif, sunset drink, late return — see boat party and farewells on boat. For families with children, it also works well — children fall asleep after a while but at least they see the sunset.

Can it be combined with dinner afterwards?

Yes, two options: (1) sunset by boat until 10:30 p.m. + dinner at a restaurant in Palma afterwards (recommended), (2) Extend the departure to 4-5 hours with a carefully prepared dinner on board (see dinner on boat with catering details). The first formula is more social, the second more intimate.

What happens if it's cloudy or the forecast changes?

Mallorca has occasional cloudy sunsets but most of May-October the sky is clear. If the forecast gets very bad (rain, strong wind, bad sea), we will call you 24 hours before to reschedule — at no cost, we change to another date. If on the day of the sunset there are light clouds, normally the start will still go (sometimes the sunset with clouds is even more beautiful).
