A boat party in Ibiza is a specific thing, not a mood: a ticket, a boarding time in San Antonio, three and a half hours of coast, and a bar you pay at separately. Float Your Boat Ibiza sells that day at €55 per person, on a boat that takes up to 100 guests.
Below is what the ticket covers, what it does not, when the sunset run makes sense, and the one comparison worth making before you book — the same evening on a catamaran with a fifth of the crowd.
How much is a boat party in Ibiza?
€55 per person for 3 hours 30 minutes with Float Your Boat Ibiza. That is a place on a shared boat for up to 100 people, with the DJ, the crew and the paddleboards already in the price. Six friends therefore pay €330, and a couple €110.
What the price does not include
Drinks. There is a bar on board and you pay for it there, in cash or by card. Club entry is separate too — some tickets combine the cruise with a club night at extra cost — and so are transfers to the port and gratuities. Budget for the bar before you decide the €55 is the whole evening.
The rating behind the ticket
4.9 across 4,324 reviews. The operator describes itself as the island's original beach-hopping party boat, and that volume of feedback is what makes the claim worth reading at all.
How long does it last and what happens when?
Three and a half hours, in five acts.
- You board in San Antonio and cast off with the music already on.
- The boat anchors in a cove so you can swim and take out a paddleboard.
- Back on deck there is a DJ set as the coast rolls past.
- Then the sunset.
- Then the run back into port with the party still going.
The sunset sailings are the ones people mean
Float Your Boat times its evening departures for the San Antonio sunset, which is the part the island is known for. If you only take one sailing, that is the one — and it is also the one that books out first.
What you actually need to bring
Tip
swimwear, a towel, sun cream, and cash or a card for the bar. No experience, no fitness: the crew runs everything, and the swimming and the SUP are optional.
Where does the party boat leave from?
From Float Your Boat on Passeig de la Mar in Sant Antoni de Portmany, on the San Antonio seafront. The exact boarding point comes through after you book. The route runs along the west coast to turquoise coves and back to the same port.
Announcements are in English and Spanish only
The crew works in those two languages, and so do the announcements on deck. German and Russian are not covered on this boat. If you need German on the water, the sunset catamaran below runs in Spanish, English and German.
Can you book the whole boat for a group?
Yes. The €55 is the per-person price for a place on the shared cruise, and the same operator charters whole boats privately. One reviewer describes booking out a boat for 18 adults and a baby, arranged over WhatsApp — which is roughly the scale at which taking the whole thing starts to make sense.
Who it is built for
Groups, hen and stag parties, and anyone who wants the island's party spirit at sea rather than in a club. The operator sets it for adults and older teens. If your idea of a good evening is 100 strangers and a DJ, this is exactly right; if it is not, read the next section before booking.
Which Ibiza party boat should you pick — party boat or sunset catamaran?
Both leave San Antonio, both end at sunset, and they are not the same evening. Float Your Boat is €55 per person for 3 hours 30 minutes with up to 100 guests and a DJ. The Lady Virginia catamaran is €95 per person for 4 hours with up to about 20 guests, and its operator states plainly that it is relaxed rather than a party boat.
The €40 gap is smaller than it looks
Soft drinks, sangria and tapas are included in the catamaran's €95; on the party boat every drink is bought at the bar. Two or three rounds close most of the difference. What stays different is the crowd — 100 against about 20 — and half an hour of extra time on the water.
| Evening | Price | Unit | Duration | Group | Drinks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Party boat (Float Your Boat) | €55 | per person | 3 h 30 min | up to 100 | bar on board, paid separately |
| Sunset catamaran (Lady Virginia) | €95 | per person | 4 h | up to 20 | soft drinks, sangria and tapas included |
If the weather turns
The sailing may be rescheduled for safety: you can move your date or take a full refund. On the catamaran the crew instead adjusts the route to sheltered spots when it is windy, which one guest describes happening on their own trip.
Booking goes straight to the operator, at their price. The live options sit on the Ibiza boat tours page, and the island's other crewed trips are compared in our guide to Ibiza boat trips.
