Mallorca’s Sunset Catamaran: A Quiet Escape for Adults
If you’re craving a peaceful evening on the water away from the hustle and bustle of family-friendly tours, this Adult Only Sunset Catamaran in Palma Bay might just be what you need. Priced at $109.97 per person, this roughly 4-hour cruise offers a relaxing way to see some of Mallorca’s most beautiful sights with a small, intimate group of just 32 guests on a spacious catamaran. Starting in Palma, the boat heads toward the famous La Cueva Verde, where you can snorkel, swim, and enjoy a delicious tapas dinner as the sun slips beneath the horizon.
What we love most about this cruise is how it balances comfort and authentic experiences. First, the ample space on a boat that typically can hold 57 people but limits itself to 32 ensures you won’t feel cramped. Second, the fresh regional food and homemade desserts make the trip feel more like a special occasion rather than just a boat ride.
A possible consideration is that drinks are not included beyond the welcome cava and water, so if you’re looking for a fully stocked bar, you’ll want to bring your own or purchase drinks separately.
This tour is ideal for adults seeking a peaceful, scenic evening with added touches of gourmet food and water-based fun. It’s a great fit for couples, friends, or solo travelers who want a relaxed, authentic Mallorca experience with stunning views and personalized service.

The Experience in Detail
Enjoy being on the water? Here are other boat experiences we've looked into in Mallorca
Setting out from Palma
You’ll meet your crew at a convenient location in Palma, close to public transportation. The boat, a well-maintained and comfortable catamaran, is prepared for a smooth sail. With a maximum capacity of 57, the crew chooses to keep the group small—only 32 passengers—which translates into a more relaxed atmosphere and easier access to the boat’s amenities.
The route and the highlights
The cruise takes you on a round-trip route across Palma bay, with the highlight being the approach to the Cove of La Cueva Verde. This is where the real underwater magic happens; with snorkel gear provided, you can explore the underwater cave system and admire the marine life in clear waters. AnneChristin_K described this as a “beautiful place to swim,” and many guests appreciate the chance to cool off in such a scenic spot.
Sunset and sightseeing
As the boat drifts toward Palma Cathedral, the sunset begins, casting a warm glow over the city’s skyline. The iconic Cathedral de Palma de Mallorca provides a breathtaking backdrop, especially when viewed from the water. “Nice crew, beautiful boat, and a beautiful place to watch the sunset,” noted AnneChristin_K, capturing the essence of this peaceful moment.
Food and drinks
Instead of a typical restaurant meal, the cruise offers a varied menu of appetizers and homemade desserts, served as you relax on deck. This focus on regional, fresh food is a highlight, according to reviews, with guests praising the “tasty regional fresh food and drinks.” While drinks are not included apart from the welcome cava, water, and the option to purchase additional drinks, many find the meal to be a delightful, authentic touch.

He also appreciated the restroom facilities, which is often overlooked but makes a difference over several hours at sea.
Meanwhile, AnneChristin_K called it a “perfect catamaran trip” thanks to the nice crew, beautiful boat, and the tasty regional food. She appreciated the beautiful swimming spot and the overall peaceful vibe—perfect for those looking to unwind.
What This Tour Means for You
Value-wise, it offers a good balance of scenic beauty, delicious food, and water fun for a reasonable price. The small group means you’re not just a number, and the small boat size enhances comfort and intimacy. The focus on authentic experiences — locally inspired food and a genuine sunset view — sets it apart from more generic boat excursions.
However, remember that drinks are not included beyond the initial cava and water, so if you’re planning to relax with a few drinks, bring some along or plan to purchase extras on board. The 4-hour duration suits most travelers looking for a relaxed yet memorable evening.
Who Should Consider This Tour?
This cruise is perfect if you’re seeking a peaceful, adult-only escape that combines scenic beauty, culinary delights, and water activities. It’s suitable for those who prefer a small, intimate group over large, crowded boats. If you value authentic regional food and a stunning sunset view, you’ll find this experience rewarding.
