A Dinner on a boat in Mallorca It's the most underutilized category of romantic or intimate dining on the island. People often think of restaurants with ocean views—but the difference is enormous between see the sea & to be at sea. When you dine anchored in a cove as the sun sets, the boat entirely at your disposal, the skipper at the bow giving you your space, the experience is on another level. And surprisingly, the cost isn't disproportionate compared to a high-end restaurant for 4-6 people.

The most in-demand format is the sunset dinner (4-5 hours, 6:00 PM - 10:30 PM or similar): Departure from the port, short sail to a cove (Cala Mago, Portals Vells, Cala Pi), anchoring, sunset from the deck with appetizers, dinner on board, after-dinner drinks under the moon and stars, return to the port. For special celebrations (anniversary, marriage proposal, significant birthday), there is no better setting in Mallorca.

We coordinate the catering: from a light dinner, appetizer style that you can bring yourself (~€25-55/person) up to tasting menu with private chef on board (from €90/person, up to €200/person for the high-end version). For couples, the small sailboats They're perfect. For groups of up to 10-12, the catamarans Or premium yachts offer more space. If this sounds like your plan, also take a look romantic stroll & sunset departure — they are sister pages.

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, carefully prepared food, and a total absence of distractions that makes it unique.

🤫

Total privacy

Just you and the skipper (who stays on the bow or upper deck). No next table eavesdropping, no waiters milling about every five minutes. The conversation is yours alone. For a marriage proposal, an important conversation, or an intimate anniversary, there's no substitute.

🌅

Sun setting into the sea

The timing is designed so that the sunset coincides with the aperitif or the 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.

👨‍🍳

Optional on-board chef

We coordinate a private chef who cooks in the ship's kitchen (the kitchens on the Jeanneau Yacht 54 and Lagoon catamarans are fully equipped). A personalized tasting menu, selected wines, and elegant presentation are included. Or, if you prefer, a light appetizer dinner that you bring.

🍷

Wines on board

No expensive wine list surprises, no corkage fees. You bring your favorite wines (or we'll buy them for you from a select Mallorcan winery). The boat has a refrigerator to keep them at the perfect temperature. Zero markup compared to the store price.

🎉

Ideal for celebrations

Special birthdays, anniversaries, marriage proposals, honeymoon trips. Can be coordinated with special touches (flower bouquet on board, message on deck, ring hidden in dessert, etc.). Skipper's discretion guaranteed.

Discreet pattern

The skipper handles the boat—anchoring safely, managing the dinghy if you go ashore, keeping everything in order. But he stays in his own area; he doesn't participate in your dinner. If you need anything, you call him. Otherwise, you won't even notice him.

Preguntas frecuentes

The most frequently asked questions about dinner boats

How much does a dinner boat 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 (approximately €90/person x 2 = €180), the total comes to around €930 for a couple. Expensive compared to a regular restaurant, but comparable to or cheaper than a high-end restaurant with a tasting menu and wines in Mallorca—and with an unparalleled setting.

Who is organizing the catering?

Three options: (1) You bring dinner (gourmet sandwiches, cold cuts, wine, dessert — at no extra cost), (2) We coordinate light, appetizer-style catering (~€25-55/person, pre-prepared, easy)., (3) We hire a private chef who cooks on board with a tasting menu (from €90/person, up to €200/person for the premium option). The chef comes aboard the boat with you, cooks in the boat's kitchen, and serves the meal.

Which boat is best for dinner?

For a couple or two couples: small-to-medium sailboat (Cotufa, Tomeu, Katalina) — intimate, cozy, and 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 a chef and attentive service: the yachts of the premium fleet (Lagoon 46, Jeanneau Yacht 54).

In which cove do people usually have dinner?

The most commonly used for dinner: Cala Mago (near Palma, quick exit after port, perfect sunset), Old Portals (more intimate, rock walls), Cala Pi (Further south, requires an earlier departure). For maximum sunset, the west-southwest side of Mallorca. The suggested route depends on the day's weather forecast and your preference.

How long does it usually last?

Standard format: 4-5h. For example: 6:00 PM departure from port → 7:00 PM anchorage in cove with aperitifs and sunset → 8:00-10:00 PM dinner → 10:00-10:30 PM after-dinner drinks under the moonlight → 10:30 PM return to port. If you'd like to extend the evening (long after-dinner drinks, drinks after dinner), we can arrange it as a night out — see night stroll.

Is it a good romantic plan for a couple?

One of the best romantic getaways in Mallorca. Total privacy, sunset, no distractions, spectacular setting. For a marriage proposal or important anniversary, the "wow factor" is practically guaranteed. More details at Romantic boat trip.

Do you coordinate marriage proposals?

Yes, with discretion. We can coordinate: a bouquet of flowers hidden on board, a "Will you marry me?" message on deck visible when anchored, a perfectly timed moment (ring with dessert), specific music for the sunset, and a discreet photographer who will accompany you. The skipper is aware of your plans and will maintain complete confidentiality. Please give us 1-2 weeks' notice so we can make the necessary arrangements.
