A Sunset Sail in Palma Bay: An Authentic Adult-Only Catamaran Experience
Our review of the Adult Only Sunset Catamaran Palma bay offers a glimpse into what promises to be a memorable evening at sea. This cruise, departing from Mallorca’s capital, combines the elegance of a luxury catamaran with the laid-back charm of a sunset over the Mediterranean. With a maximum of 32 guests aboard, it promises comfort and intimacy—far from crowded tourist traps. The route takes you to La Cueva Verde, a beautiful cove perfect for swimming, with plenty of opportunities to snorkel directly from the boat. Later, you’ll enjoy a tapas dinner as the sun dips into the horizon, making this a delightful way to unwind after a day of exploring Mallorca.
Two things I particularly love about this experience are the spacious, well-maintained boat and the excellent regional food served at sea. The boat, which comfortably fits 57 people but only admits 32, ensures you won’t feel cramped—something that matters when you’re sharing a relaxing sunset cruise. The food, praised as tasty and fresh, is a great break from typical tourist menus, with homemade desserts and regional specialties that highlight Mallorca’s flavors.
A possible consideration is that drinks are not included, so if wine or additional beverages are your thing, you’ll need to bring your own. Also, the tour doesn’t include hotel pickup, so you’ll want to plan for how to get to the departure point in Palma. But overall, the experience feels curated for comfort, quality, and a touch of romance—perfect for couples or groups of friends seeking a peaceful evening out.

The Route and What You’ll See During the Cruise

The itinerary is straightforward but designed for maximum enjoyment. After departing from Palma, you’ll sail across the bay, with stunning views of the Palma Cathedral framing your sunset photos. The highlight is a stop at La Cueva Verde, a lush cove where the natural beauty is complemented by the chance to swim and snorkel. Provided snorkel gear makes underwater exploration accessible, and the calm waters here make it suitable even for beginners.
The reviews rave about the quality of the experience at La Cueva Verde. As one guest said, “nice crew, beautiful boat, tasty regional fresh food and drinks and a beautiful place to swim.” That combination of scenic beauty and comfort seems to be what keeps travelers coming back.
As the sun begins to set, the boat drifts closer to Palma’s coast, where you’ll get picture-perfect views of the cathedral illuminated at dusk. The gentle sway of the boat, the warm breeze, and the spectacular colors in the sky create a peaceful, almost magical atmosphere.
Dining on the Water: Tapas, Desserts, and a Relaxed Atmosphere

One of the most praised aspects of this cruise is the food. Instead of a typical buffet, you’ll be served a varied menu of appetizers and homemade desserts, showcasing Mallorca’s flavors.

The reviews emphasize how much people appreciate the quality and regional authenticity of the food, which adds a genuine touch to this sailing experience. The relaxed dining setup means you can enjoy your meal while taking in the sunset views, rather than rushing through a hurried service.
Swimming, Snorkeling, and Paddle Surfing: Water Activities at La Cueva Verde

The opportunity to swim and snorkel at La Cueva Verde is a major draw. The provided snorkel gear allows you to explore the underwater scenery at your own pace. The calm, clear waters of the cove are ideal for beginners and seasoned swimmers alike. Some guests have mentioned how they loved the quiet, natural setting away from crowds, with one reviewer saying it was “a beautiful place to swim.”
Paddle surf equipment is also available, giving you a chance to glide across the water or just relax on the surface. These activities add a fun, active dimension to the trip, especially if you’re traveling with someone who enjoys being in the water.

This cruise is best suited for adults seeking a peaceful, intimate outing. If you’re tired of crowded, noisy boat trips or standard restaurant dinners by the sea, this experience offers a quiet escape. It’s ideal for couples celebrating special moments or groups of friends looking for a relaxed sunset cruise. The focus on regional food, comfortable surroundings, and the adult-only policy makes it stand apart from more generic options.
It’s also a great choice if you want a flexible, no-hassle activity—just remember to bring your own drinks if you want extras beyond the provided water and cava. The price point of $109.97 per person reflects a balance of quality, comfort, and authentic local flavors that many travelers find worthwhile.
