Which sunset boat tour in Mallorca suits you: who is coming and how long you want to stay out
Couples who want the deck to themselves
Couples and honeymooners who want privacy should look at Alcudia. A traditional Mallorcan boat is reserved for your group alone, with a skipper, tapas and local wine included. It takes about 90 minutes, which leaves the rest of the evening free.
Photographers looking west
Photographers should look west, because one boat sails along Dragonera Island as the sun goes down. It runs around Andratx, stops at a cove to swim and snorkel, and serves artisanal pizza with a drink. We like it for anyone who wants scenery first.
Food lovers and groups out of Palma
If food matters as much as the view, compare what comes on board out of Palma. One tour of Palma Bay serves a barbecue burger and a drink, with catering and music on board. A catamaran from Palma has plenty of deck space for a group, with a swim stop and a catered meal. These boats also run by day, so pick the sunset option when you book.
