What is a boat party?
A boat party does exactly what it says on the tin – but did you realise they date back to ancient times?
Ancient civilisations like the Greeks and Romans often celebrated significant occasions on a boat, with music, food, and dancing. Times have changed, but there’s still nothing quite like a private party on the water.
If you’re heading to an organized daytime vibe like the Ibiza Boat Party or a Tenerife Boat Party, pay attention to where life jackets and crew are positioned – that’s one of the first safety points they’ll cover before boarding.
Today, boat parties are popular worldwide and range from VIP experiences to laid back sunset vibes.
With a resident DJ, fully stocked bar, epic tunes and immaculate vibes all round, setting sail on our epic boat parties is a vibe like no other.
Departing from the pier or harbour in Europe’s most iconic party cities and resorts, our boat party tickets are the hottest in town and guarantee you a night to remember!
Whether you’re planning a girls or lads holiday, a hen or stag do, or a city break, we offer the best boat party events in the UK and Europe, where the cocktails flow and the memories last a lifetime.
What’s the vibe?
Party boats are for social butterflies who love to dance until dawn surrounded by the coolest shipmates, where the tunes are lit and the drinks flow.
It’s the perfect way to kick off your night if you’re moving on to a club as night falls, or can be an amazing experience in itself if you like to peak early and get your eight hours!
Sound like your vibe? Make it a non-negotiable on your next city break or sunshine holiday!
Are stag and hen parties welcome?
Absolutely. All of our boat parties are stag and hen friendly.
If you’ve been tasked with planning duties, this is your shortcut to an incredible experience that sends them off into married life in style!

Do I need to book a party boat ticket in advance?
Yes! It’s always best to book ahead to avoid disappointment – our boats operate in Europe’s best locations and have limited capacities onboard, so they tend to sell out.
You can buy your tickets online and pay a small deposit then the remaining balance is payable on arrival when you collect the tickets before you board.
