[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Want to get wild on the water while in Barcelona? You’re on the right page! This is the Internet’s only independent guide to the best boat parties taking place in summer 2025 (and during spring and autumn too!), so if you want the no-b/s guide to which booze cruise is for you, keep reading…[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="10px"][vc_column_text]By Duncan Rhodes, a Barcelona-based travel journalist. Article updated in spring 2025.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1748447425883{padding-top: 1px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #d2eaf4 !important;}"]
Following the HUGE success of these events in recent years, there are 4 regular parties taking place in 2025… (and 4 more one-off events for special occasions). Of the 4 regular parties, the first three are all run by the same fierce young travel company who know how to have a good time! The fourth option has a more laid back vibe, but is perfect for soaking up the Barcelona summer vibes and having a swim.
A wicked and wild evening booze cruise – early evenings on Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun
A sun-baked day party with DJ – Saturday afternoons
Brunch with mimosas on the sea– Sunday midday
A laidback daytime BBQ boat with swim stop – Fri, Sat & Sundays
There are also some one-off party boats planned for special occasions like San Juan, PRIDE, 4th July and Halloween![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text]

The Original (since 2011) and still the best! This wild cruise takes place on a 138-person party catamaran, with a live DJ spinning booty-shaking house, dance and r’n’b tunes. There are 4 drinks tickets included in the price, and unlimited free soft drinks. The most epic of all the events on this page, with a young and fun crowd, and my personal recommendation for a wild romp on the Mediterranean! The boat docks at Port Olimpic (where all the nightclubs are!), so afterwards you’re in the best place in town to continue the evening with everyone else who was on board…
Price: €59
Includes: Live DJ, soft drinks, 4 alcoholic drinks tickets, plus FREE nightclub entry back on land.
Duration: 2 hours
When? Departs every Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Sun at 7:30pm during summer, with an addition boat at 5pm on Saturdays.
Best for: A hedonistic Ibiza-style party vibe.
More Info: Check out the organiser’s official website for more details.

It may sound civilised, but don’t worry this is still a wild rave at sea. This cruise combines the food and swim stop of the Catamaran BBQ Boat (see below), with the party attitude of the Original Boat Party (see above), making it the event that has everything – and an ideal option if you’re keen to sink cervezas or sip cava whilst the sun shines. Take a splash in the Mediterranean, enjoy a delicious buffet of Spanish snacks and then refresh with cold drinks as live DJs spin the tunes.
Price: €69
Includes: Mediterranean buffet, DJ, swim stop, 4 drinks tickets, plus FREE nightclub entry back on land.
Duration: 3 hours
When? Departs every Saturday at 1:30pm in summer (May to early Sept)
Best for: Anyone looking for great food, sun, sangria and swimming, all in one.

If jumping off the boat into the warm Mediterranean sea is your top priority, then select this 3-hour catamaran cruise, which sets sail several times a day during summer weekends. After about an hour, this beautiful vessel, which holds 60-90 people, will throw anchor and you can splash around in the water with floats, toys and snorkels to your heart’s content. Then its time to fire up the BBQ for a feast of sausage, burgers and plenty of veggie options and enjoy a refreshing beer or two, or sangria if you prefer. (Note: you can only drink max. 2 beers/sangrias and only after the swim stop… I would suggest looking at the other parties if you prefer a more boozy event!)
Price: €50
Includes: BBQ, swim stop, 2 beers or sangrias per person, unlimited soft drinks.
Duration: 3 hours
When? Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (at 11am, 2:30pm and 6pm) during summer. During spring and autumn, departures might be less often.
Best for: Chilled out vibe with cool people, sun, sausages, cervezas and swim stop.
MORE INFO: You can find read more and book on Get Your Guide, or via Fare Harbor.

Price: TBC
Includes: Live DJ, soft drinks, 4 alcoholic drinks tickets.
Duration: 2 hours
When? 8:30pm on 23rd June 2025
