Because you don’t want to hop aboard if it isn’t actually what you are looking for.

Barcelona boat parties stand out thanks to the city’s vibrant atmosphere and scenic coastline, making each event unique and memorable.
We’ve tested the top boat parties in the sunny city (yes, we risked burnburn for you), and here’s the real breakdown — no nonsense, just straight-up no-frills reviews to help you choose the perfect party at sea.
The Original Barcelona Boat Party – Straight Up Fun.
If you’re coming to Barcelona to send it, then this is your boat. It’s the longest running boat party in the city, and it’s operated by Stoke Travel — the same people behind some of Europe’s wildest festivals and party experiences.
It’s exactly as it sounds: an old fashioned fiesta on the waves. With a dancefloor below deck for lively dancing and a chill out area on the top deck, there is something for the whole gang. Check-in is at a bar called ‘the Coconut Club’ which is a short walk down from the port. Very handy, especially if you have already had a few Cava’s to get you on your way.
What they include:
- Live DJ + an onboard dance floor
- Massive upstairs seating area to take in the sun and the sights of the city.
- An international crowd who have hopped aboard for the exact same reason as you
- 4 free drink tokens (already included with the price), with the ability to purchase more drinks.
- Enjoy an exciting sailing time of 2 hours along the Barcelona coast.
- Free nightclub entry afterwards for those wanting to keep the good vibes going.
- Friendly staff and easy check-in
What to know:
- Getting there: the boat party leaves from the port – you can either walk up along the beach or you can also get there via the metro: just hop onto the L4 (access via Barcelonetta), and hop off at Estación de Ciutadella-Vila Olímpica. From there it is a short walk to the Coconut Club.
- It’s high-energy, crowded, and loud — not ideal if you want a chill cruise but perfect if you’re looking to get silly- besides if you came to Barcelona for the peace and quiet you wouldn’t be reading this right now would you? .
- Perfect for groups. They have a capacity of 140 so perfect for groups.
- Heads up – they usually sell out during the summer season, especially over the weekends so try to book in advance if you can, especially if you are in a bigger group!
- The Original Barcelona Boat Party takes place every Thursday to Sunday during the summer season.
Final Verdict:
Look, it’s the longest running and most iconic boat party in Barcelona for a reason — loud, loose, and legendary. If you’re here for the full send, this it’s 100% worth it. The Original Barcelona Boat Party is a truly memorable experience that you won’t forget.

2. Charcuterie, Cava & Swim – Best for Chill Sunset Vibes
Essentially a floating rooftop bar with a 360 pool (i.e. Mediterranean). That’s the vibe. This is the boat for you if you’re more inclined to clink a glass of bubbles under the Euro-Summer Sun before diving into the med to cool off. During the swim stop, guests can make a splash in the Mediterranean, adding to the fun and lively atmosphere of the event. The boat also provides a charcuterie platter if you get peckish. It’s a classier affair for those wanting to get some cute pics.
Highlights:
- Enjoy a lively party boat experience with music, socializing, and entertainment on board
- Chilled out dancefloor below deck and a massive chillout zone above deck
- Quality charcuterie board and Spanish cava
- Afternoon swim stop- they will let you jump off the back of the boat + usually throw in some fun inflatables
- Free club entry to use later that night if you are that way inclined
What to know:
- Less rowdy than some of the other boats but the vibes are still high
- More appropriate for those wanting to have some drinks, socialise, swim and have a bit of a bikini-clad boogy afterwards
- Food + drinks are included but go fast, so arrive hungry but not ravenous
- Don’t forget to bring sun protection for the afternoon cruise to stay safe and comfortable in the sun.
Final Verdict:
A beautiful, slower-paced experience for those who want to get onto a boat but are looking for a more chilled option. It’s a classier affair with plenty of photo opportunities, cava and charcuterie, and a relaxed lunch on the water, plus a swim! Definitely perfect for couples, hens groups, friend groups—even mum!
