About this tour
When Mia from our BugBitten team took this three-hour sunset cruise on the Bay of Palma, she found a relaxed evening that ticks a few boxes without overselling itself. You get a boat ride with decent views, a wood-fired pizza that actually tastes fresh, and water throughout. The vibe is chilled rather than rowdy—think couples and small groups watching the light change over the bay. Summer months add a midway swim stop in clear water, which breaks up the journey nicely. It's a straightforward evening out, not fancy but not rushed either.
Highlights
- Fresh pizzas cooked onboard using local ingredients and proper technique
- Unobstructed views across the Bay of Palma as light shifts and colours deepen
- Midway swim in transparent water (June–August sailings only)
- Water included throughout; bar and cocktails available at extra cost
- Small enough groups that you're not sardined with tourist masses
- Departs in early evening and lands back as light fades completely
What to expect
You'll board in the late afternoon and spend the first hour or so cruising gently out into the bay while the sun is still high. The pace is measured—there's no rushed itinerary or scripted talking points, which suits most travellers fine. Around the midpoint, staff bring out the pizzas hot from the onboard oven; they're genuinely good, not the token «here's some food» type. The second half is when the light show kicks in: the sky starts shifting through orange and pink as you drift across calm-ish water.
If you're sailing June through August, there's a scheduled swim stop in a quieter part of the bay. The water is genuinely clear and warm enough that a dip feels natural rather than forced. The final hour is pure golden-hour cruising back towards port as the sun dips below the horizon. It's unhurried and works best if you're not expecting loud music or high-energy entertainment—the sunset and the pizza are the main events.

Good to know
The pizza is a genuine draw and included in the ticket price, which keeps the value solid. Water's free all evening, so you won't get caught short. The Bay of Palma is genuinely scenic and rarely feels overcrowded on this sort of tour. If you're in Mallorca over summer and fancy a low-key evening without committing eight hours, this fits the bill. Suitable for most fitness levels and dog-friendly if you've got a service animal.
Alcohol isn't included—only water—so if you want wine or cocktails, budget extra. The boat ride depends on decent weather and calm seas; chop or heavy cloud could dampen the sunset views. Early June or late August means the sun might set later or earlier than mid-summer, so check exact timing when you book. Swimwear and a towel are on you. Public transport gets you to the departure point, but it's worth confirming the exact location beforehand to avoid a rushed walk.
