Why a boat party?

Because why party on dry land when you can take the action onto the ocean?

Boat parties are an absolute must for an epic stag or hen party:

  • Next level party energy – the excitement of bringing the party to the sea creates a feeling like no other.
  • Instagram-worthy backdrops – stunning sunset selfies? Yes please.
  • Epic entertainment – live DJs, flowing drinks, on-deck dancing… what more could you ask for?
  • A built-in itinerary – no need to hop bars or clubs and kill the vibe – we’ve organised the party for you, all you need to do is show up!
  • Cooling swim stops – dive in and experience hidden coves and beauty spots you’d never otherwise find from the beach. 

So, let’s explore our best spots for you to get in on the booze cruise action.

6 of the best hen and stag boat parties in Europe

Ibiza Boat Parties

1. Ibiza – Balearic bliss

For those chasing the world’s most famous party island, the Ibiza Boat Party offers a premium daytime experience with top DJs, stunning coastline views and a high-energy international crowd.

Ibiza is the gold standard for partying, so it’s hardly surprising our Ibiza boat party is the stuff of legends!

Dance to world-class DJs, sip cocktails as the sun goes down, and kick off your night with that unmistakable White Isle energy.

Your ticket even includes FREE entry to O Beach Mondays & Wednesdays and Es Paradis club!

Barcelona Boat Parties

2. Barcelona – city meets sea 

In Spain’s party capital, the hugely popular Barcelona Boat Party delivers a vibrant daytime cruise with live DJs, drink vouchers and stunning views of the city skyline – a brilliant choice for hen and stag groups looking to combine beach, city and party vibes.

There’s no need to choose between city and beach when Barca gives you the best of both.

Set sail on a 2-hour cruise aboard our sleek white catamaran, complete with epic views of Barcelona and the Med, a live DJ spinning bangers, and drinks vouchers to keep the vibes high.

Kick things off with a welcome shot at the Coconut Club and finish the night in style with free guestlist to one of the city’s top beach clubs.

Hen or stag parties done right!

Zante Boat Parties

3. Zante – Mediterranean madness

Brace yourself – the Uncharted Sunset Booze Cruise in Zante is 3 hours of pure scenes on a massive three-tiered boat.

Expect unlimited free shots, house DJs, CO2 cannons, light shows, a private cove swim stop, and non-stop fun as the sun sets over the Med.

Your ticket includes an exclusive pre-party and after-party at Sizzle Club, air-conditioned coach transfers (needed), and a discount wristband for free club entry all week. VIP upgrades are available too!

Split Boat Party

4. Split – scenic send-off

In Croatia, the famous Split Boat Party combines crystal-clear waters with DJs, swim stops and a buzzing crowd – perfect for stag and hen groups exploring the Adriatic.

Croatia’s coastline is the stuff of literal dreams, and Split serves some seriously stylish boat parties with local DJs, clear blue water, and epic ambience. 

Great for hen and stag groups who want good music, great drinks, and unbelievable views – plus, Eastern European destinations tend to be on the cheaper side compared to the typical party hotspots.

5. London – crazy nights in the capital 

Newsflash: you don’t need to board a plane to enjoy a sick hen or stag weekend!

Our London Thames party is a firm fave with hen and stag groups who buzz off city views and flowing booze.

And P.S. The vessel is fully heated, so you can enjoy the fun whatever the Great British weather throws at you!

Tenerife Boat Parties

The popular Tenerife Boat Party is a brilliant choice for groups looking for sunshine, sea views and a lively pre-club party atmosphere on the island.

Year-round sun, cheap drinks, and an up-for-anything party crowd – Tenerife’s boat parties are a no-brainer for stag and hen weekends.
