The Golden Hour of the Mediterranean

Sunset sailing in Menorca
when the sun surrenders to the sea

The beaches empty out, the wind drops and the light turns to gold. It's the most beautiful moment of the day on the island, and the best place to experience it isn't on land: it's on board.

Privacy at Dusk

The Sunset from the Sea

While the island's viewpoints fill with people, you toast on the deck of a private sailboat with the whole horizon to yourself.

We set sail with the last light of the afternoon, when the sea is at its most serene.

The sunset trip is our most intimate excursion. We sail to the mouth of Mahón harbour and anchor in calm waters to watch the sky shift from gold to violet, with a cold drink in your hand and no noise but the water against the hull.

The timing adapts to the sunset hour of each time of year, so the sun sets exactly when we're in the best anchorage. It's the favourite trip of couples and groups of friends, and the perfect setting if you're planning a marriage proposal.

What the Experience Is Like

Your Sunset, Your Way

Every sunset trip is arranged with you over WhatsApp before setting sail. In the video, one of our real trips with a sunset concert. These are the three favourite ways to experience it:

A Toast on Deck

Anchored in calm, with your favourite drink and the sun dropping over the horizon. The simplest plan and the one that never fails.

With Live Piano

Add a private concert by composer Gabriel Peso as the sun goes down. Discover the live music on board.

The Setting for Your Proposal

If there's a ring in your plans, this is the setting. This is how we organise marriage proposals.

The Best Moment

When Is the Best Time of Year?

From May to October the Menorcan sea offers postcard sunsets, and every month has its own character: in June and July the sun sets very late and the golden light lingers; in September the sea is at its perfect temperature and the island gets its calm back.

We adjust the departure time to the exact sunset of your date. You just have to tell us the day; the Elan Menorca team takes care of the rest.

Book Your Sunset

Summer dates fly, and there's only one sunset a day. Tell us when you'd like to experience it and we'll confirm availability right away.
