Malaga Sunset Cruise: Dinner Sailing Catamaran Restaurant

Watch the city lights come on from the water, then eat steps away from where you dock.

A 1.30-hour sailing catamaran cruise departing from Málaga port at sunset, followed by a three-course dinner at a restaurant 280 meters from the landing point. The cruise includes a glass of champagne or soda and views of the bay as the city lights turn on. Dinner features a choice of starter, main course (pork, veal or fish), dessert and two beverages per person including wine. A DJ option is available for the cruise departure.

The experience

What time does the catamaran leave, and how does the evening flow? The cruise departs from Málaga's port in the late afternoon and runs for 1 hour 30 minutes, timed so you're on the water as the sun sets behind the mountains. The catamaran holds up to 90 people and carries a bar, solarium, restrooms and a covered area. Its design keeps the boat stable even if the Mediterranean is moving. You can sit or lie on the mesh net if you choose that option: a vantage most people pick for the moment when the city switches on its lights and the bay turns from blue to gold.

Once you're back at the port, the restaurant waits just a 3-minute walk away. You order a starter, pick your main course from pork, veal or fish, choose a dessert, and two drinks per person arrive with the meal, wine is included. The dress code is informal, but you'll need to change out of wet clothes before you sit down to eat. If you want something more than the standard cruise, the Special Departure option adds a DJ on board. The Mesh option reserves you a spot on the net for the sunset views.

Both the cruise and dinner happen on the same day, and you make your own way to the port: public transportation runs nearby. If you need a vegetarian menu, contact the operator at least 24 hours before to arrange it. Children must be with an adult, and infants aged 0–3 ride free (though they don't get a meal). Bring a towel, sunscreen and comfortable clothes. Coolers and outside drinks aren't allowed on the boat.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Spanish.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 12 years); Infant (under 4): free.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. No refund if you cancel.

Can I lie on the mesh net during the sunset, or is that a separate booking?

The mesh net is an option you choose at checkout. It's not included in the standard Sunset Cruise & Dinner package. If you want to lie on the net for the sunset views, book the Cruise with Mesh & Dinner option instead.

What's the difference between the Special Departure and the regular sunset cruise?

The Special Departure adds a DJ on board during the 1.30-hour cruise, setting music to the moment when the sun goes down and the city lights come on. The cruise itself, the champagne, and the dinner afterward are the same in both versions.

Is the restaurant right at the port, or do I need to travel to get there?

The restaurant sits 280 meters from where you disembark: roughly a 3-minute walk from the landing point at Málaga port. You walk there on your own after the cruise ends.

What drinks are included with dinner, and can I order more?

Two beverages per person come with the meal, and wine is included in that count. The restaurant has a bar, so you can order additional drinks if you want them.

Do I need to arrange transportation to the port, or is pickup included?

Hotel pickup is not included. You make your own way to Málaga port, where the catamaran departs. Public transportation options are available nearby if you don't have a car.

Can I bring my infant, and what does that cost?

Infants aged 0–3 years ride free and don't need a meal ticket. If you choose the Cruise with Mesh option, you pay only for their spot on the net. Children of any age must be accompanied by an adult.
