Bali Phinisi Sunset Dinner Cruise
A sunset dinner cruise from Benoa Harbour aboard a traditional-style phinisi, with buffet dinner, onboard entertainment and South Bali ocean views.
Overview
The Sailor Dinner Cruise by Phinisi Cruise Bali is a relaxed evening cruise from Benoa Harbour, designed around golden-hour views, dinner on board and light entertainment after sunset.
Guests check in at Benoa in the late afternoon, board before sunset and cruise the sheltered South Bali coastline while the sky changes color over the water. The experience suits couples, families and small groups who want a polished Bali dinner cruise without a full-day itinerary.
SailTix can help confirm live availability, child pricing, transfer coverage and any upgrade request before you book. The offer works best as a South Bali evening activity after a beach day in Nusa Dua, Sanur, Kuta or Tanjung Benoa.

Tips for the Perfect Cruise
Time your booking around sunset
The program starts with check-in around 16:00 and normally returns around 19:30, so plan your afternoon traffic and hotel pickup with enough buffer.
Confirm your pickup area first
Transfer support is usually easiest around Nusa Dua, Tanjung Benoa, Kuta and Sanur. Ask SailTix to confirm coverage before you rely on pickup.
Bring a light jacket
The open deck can feel breezy after sunset, especially when the boat is moving back toward Benoa.
Wear flat, non-slip shoes
A traditional phinisi has open deck space and a few steps. Flat or non-slip footwear makes it easy to move around and grab the best photo spots.
Flag any dietary needs in advance
Tell SailTix about allergies or dietary preferences when you ask for availability, so the supplier can confirm what is possible.
Best months are April to October
Bali's dry season usually gives the cleanest sunset visibility, but the cruise can still run outside those months when weather and sea conditions are suitable.
Celebrating something special?
For birthdays, proposals or group events, ask SailTix to confirm decoration, seating or private-event options before booking.
