What is the best boat party in Mallorca?

For most people, the Palma sunset boat tour with a DJ and dance floor is the best classic boat party, at €50, and the cheapest and most-booked on the island. For an upmarket party with food, the luxury catamaran (€85) is the most-reviewed, and for a small group wanting a genuine open bar, the sailing trip (€95) is the highest-rated.

How much does a boat party in Mallorca cost?

A Mallorca boat party costs about €50 to €95 per person. The big shared sunset and daytime DJ boats are €50 to €60, the adults-only cruise and the luxury catamaran are €85 to €90, and the small-group open-bar sailing trip is €95. On most boats the bar is paid per drink, so budget extra unless you book the open-bar trip.

Where do Mallorca boat parties leave from?

Almost all of Mallorca's party boats leave from Palma, either from Palma harbour (several from the Barca Samba pier) or from Club de Mar. That makes them easy if you are staying in or near the city, and a short taxi from the southwest resorts such as Magaluf, Palmanova, and Santa Ponsa.

Do Mallorca party boats have an open bar?

Mostly no. Of the boats here, only the small-group sailing trip has a genuine open bar. The big party boats include a welcome or first drink and then charge per drink (around €6), and water is included on the daytime cruise. If an open bar matters, the sailing trip is the one to book.

Is there an adults-only boat party in Mallorca?

Yes. One of the cruises is strictly adults-only (18+), a 3-hour party from the Port of Palma with a DJ, a paella buffet, and a swim stop. The other boats are mixed-age, so the adults-only cruise is the one to choose if you want a no-families crowd.

Can you book a private boat party for a stag or hen do in Mallorca?

The tours in this guide are all shared, ticketed boats, which is the easiest and cheapest way to get a stag or hen group afloat: just block-book tickets on one cruise. For exclusive use of a boat, your own route, and your own music, you would book a private charter separately. Palma is the main hub for both.

What should I bring on a Mallorca boat party?

Bring swimwear and a towel, as most cruises include a swim stop where you jump off the boat, plus a card or cash for the bar (only the sailing trip has an open bar), sun cream, and a light layer for the breeze on the way back. Book ahead on summer weekends.

Best Party Boats in Mallorca

1

Palma Sunset Boat Tour with DJ & Dance Floor

Our top pick and the definitive Mallorca boat party, at €50. This 3-hour sunset cruise leaves Palma harbour on the Barca Samba, a big wooden party boat that packs in around 200 people across two decks, with a live DJ and a proper dance floor below and sun loungers up top. Snacks and your first drink are included, with the rest of the bar paid as you go (about €6 a drink). It sails along the bay past Palma Cathedral as the sun goes down, and with more than 3,000 reviews at a strong rating, it is the cheapest, most-booked, and most reliable party boat on the island. Best if you want the classic, lively sunset session without spending a fortune. The lower deck is the loud dance floor, while the upper sun deck is the calmer spot if you want to escape the bass.

2

Palma Daytime Fun Cruise with Swim Stop & Music

The daytime version of the same party, at €60, run on the Barca Samba out of Palma. This 4-hour cruise leans into a fun, sociable vibe with a live DJ, a buffet lunch, satellite TV for live sport, and a swim stop about an hour in where you can jump straight off the boat into the bay. Water is included and the rest of the bar is paid on board. It is a good pick if you would rather party in the sun with a swim than do the sunset slot, and a popular choice for lively groups.

3

Mallorca: Catamaran Luxury Tour with Meal & DJ

The upmarket party boat, at €85, a 4 to 5 hour luxury catamaran cruise from Palma with a gourmet buffet (including vegetarian and vegan options), a DJ who really gets going on the sunset return, and two swim stops at Cala Vella and the Green Cave. The boat is roomier and more comfortable than the big party boats, carrying around 36 guests, and the bar is paid per drink. With over 3,200 reviews it is the most-booked boat trip here, and our pick if you want a party with proper food and swimming rather than a packed dance floor. Be aware that bar prices match the upmarket setting, with cocktails around €15. For more catamaran options, see our Mallorca catamaran guide.

4

Mallorca: Adult-Only Ocean Cruise with Music, Buffet & Swim

The adults-only cruise, at €90, a 3-hour 18-plus party out of the Port of Palma billed as Boat'n'Beats. It pairs a DJ and a grown-up party crowd with a fresh paella buffet and a swim stop at the cliffs of Cala Delta. A welcome drink is included and the rest of the bar is paid on board. With the smallest review count and the lowest rating in this list, it is more of a wildcard, but it is the one to look at if you specifically want an adults-only boat party with food and a swim, and no families aboard. Onboard drink prices and exactly what is included are not always clear, so it is worth checking before you board.

5

Mallorca: Midday or Sunset Sailing with Snacks & Open Bar

The small-group alternative, at €95, and the only boat here with a genuine open bar. This 4-hour sailing trip from Club de Mar in Palma takes a maximum of 10 guests on a luxury yacht, with cava, wine, beer, and soft drinks flowing freely alongside Mallorcan snacks like ham, cheese, and olives, plus paddleboards, snorkelling gear, and a swim platform. It is calmer and more intimate than the big party boats, the highest-rated option here, and the one we'd choose for a small group or couple who want to drink, swim, and relax rather than join a 200-person dance floor. The boat anchors for about two hours at a quiet cove to swim, snorkel, and paddleboard, and the open bar is genuinely free-flowing.

Best Boat Party Mallorca for Stag and Hen Groups

Mallorca, and Palma in particular, is one of Europe's busiest spots for stag and hen boat parties, and the best boat party in Mallorca for a stag or hen group depends on your numbers and how wild you want it. Here is how to pick.

Which shared party boat suits a stag or hen do

For most stag and hen groups, block-booking tickets on one of the big shared party boats is the easiest and cheapest way to get everyone afloat. The sunset or daytime DJ boats (around €50 to €60 a head) give you a guaranteed party with a dance floor, a bar, and a swim stop without organising a charter. If you want a no-families, grown-up crowd, the adults-only cruise is the one to pick. The luxury catamaran works for a group that wants food and a calmer, more upmarket party, while the small-group sailing trip suits a smaller stag or hen do (up to 10) that wants an open bar and privacy without a full charter.

Tips for booking a stag or hen boat party

Book early for summer weekends, when the popular slots and bigger groups fill the boats fast, and book all your tickets together so the group boards and is seated as one. Budget for the bar on top of the ticket, as only the sailing trip has an open bar. And agree a meeting point near the Palma marina in advance, since several boats leave from the same few piers and it is easy to lose stragglers. For a larger group that wants the boat to itself, a private charter is the next step up.

Private Boat Party Mallorca: Is It Worth It?

If you want the boat to yourselves, your own music, and your own route and timings, a private boat party in Mallorca means chartering a whole boat rather than buying tickets. Here is roughly what it costs and when it makes sense.

Typical private charter costs

Private party boats and catamarans are quoted per boat for a half or full day, not per person, and the price scales with boat size and season. As a rough guide, a small party boat (around 15 metres, up to roughly 45 people) starts from around €1,170 for a half day, a larger party catamaran runs into the low thousands, and bigger yachts go up from there, with peak summer the most expensive. Skipper and fuel costs and extras like catering or a DJ are usually added on top, so always get a written quote for your dates and group size.

Group size: when private becomes worth it

The maths turns on your numbers. With a small group, individual tickets at €50 to €95 a head are far cheaper than a four-figure charter, so the shared boats win. As your group grows past around 15 to 20 people, the per-person cost of a private boat drops toward what you would each pay for tickets, and you also get exclusive use, your own playlist, and a flexible route. For a big stag or hen party of 25 or more, a private charter often works out similar per head to tickets and is usually worth it for the privacy and control. Below about 15 people, we'd stick with shared tickets unless having the boat to yourselves is the whole point.

Boat Party Palma de Mallorca: What to Expect

Palma de Mallorca is the heart of the island's boat-party scene, and nearly every party boat in this guide leaves from here, so a boat party in Palma is the default option for most visitors.

Where the boats leave from

The party boats depart from a few points around Palma's waterfront: the big DJ boats from the piers along the harbour (Muelle Golondrinas, near the cathedral end), the small-group sail from Club de Mar, and the adults-only cruise from the Port of Palma. All are an easy walk or short taxi from the city centre, and a 15 to 30 minute taxi from the southwest resorts like Magaluf, Palmanova, and Santa Ponsa.

What a Palma boat party is like

A typical Palma boat party cruises out along the Bay of Palma past the cathedral and the city skyline, with the DJ and bar running as you go, then anchors in a cove for a swim stop before heading back. Because the boats stay in the bay, the water is sheltered and the city views are the backdrop the whole way. Palma's central location and airport links make it the easiest base for a boat party, whether you want the cheap sunset session, a daytime cruise, or an upmarket catamaran.

Party Boats in Palma: Which Area Is Best?

Almost every party boat in Palma leaves from one of three spots along the waterfront, and which one is best depends on where you are staying and the kind of boat you want. Here is how the main departure areas compare.

Palma Harbour (Muelle de las Golondrinas)

The main harbour front, near the cathedral end of the bay, is where most of the big party boats load. It is the most central and walkable option, a few minutes from the old town, and the easiest to reach by taxi from anywhere in the city. If you want the classic, busy party-boat scene and a central meeting point, this is the area to aim for.

Barca Samba Pier

The Barca Samba pier sits within the harbour and is the single busiest party-boat spot in Palma, the departure point for both the sunset and the daytime DJ cruises, our top pick and its daytime sibling. It is the same central, walkable area as the main harbour, so it suits anyone who wants the cheap, high-energy boats; just note that several boats leave from the same pier, so check your boat's name on the ticket.

Club de Mar

Club de Mar is the marina just west of the city centre, a short taxi from the old town, and a more upmarket, quieter base. It is the departure point for the small-group sailing yacht with its open bar, so this is the area to head for if you want the calmer, more intimate trip rather than a 200-person dance floor. The adults-only cruise leaves from the nearby Port of Palma, slightly further along the same stretch.

For most visitors after a classic boat party, the harbour and the Barca Samba pier are the best area, central and packed with the big DJ boats. Choose Club de Mar instead if you are after the small-group open-bar sail.

Best Time for a Boat Party in Mallorca

Mallorca's party boats run mainly from spring to autumn, with the season at full tilt from June to September when the weather is hot, the sea is warm for swim stops, and boats sail most days. Outside summer, sailings thin out and some pause for winter.

Peak seasonJun–Sep

The big party boats sail most days, the sea is warm enough for the swim stops, and the atmosphere is at its liveliest. Book ahead on summer weekends, when the popular sunset slots fill up.

ShoulderApr–May, Oct

Fewer departures and a calmer crowd, but still warm enough for a cruise and often easier to book last minute. The swim stop can be brisk early and late in the season.

Sunset vs daytimeYour call

Sunset cruises are the classic party slot with the best light; daytime cruises trade the sunset for a longer swim and a sunnier deck. Both run through peak season.

For the liveliest atmosphere, aim for a summer weekend and book the sunset slot ahead. If you want a calmer crowd or a last-minute booking, the shoulder months on either side of summer are easier and still warm.

How Much Does a Mallorca Boat Party Cost?

A Mallorca boat party costs about €50 to €95 per person. The big shared sunset and daytime DJ boats are the cheapest at €50 to €60, the adults-only cruise and the luxury party catamaran run €85 to €90, and the small-group open-bar sailing trip is €95. What you pay for is mostly the boat, the food, and the bar: cheaper tickets include little more than snacks and one drink, while pricier ones add a buffet, more space, or an open bar.

Shared DJ boats€50–60

The classic party boats: the sunset cruise is €50 and the daytime cruise €60, both on the big Barca Samba boat with a DJ and a swim stop. Snacks and one drink are included; the rest of the bar is paid on board.

Catamaran & adults-only€85–90

A step up: the luxury party catamaran with a gourmet buffet and two swim stops is €85, and the adults-only paella cruise is €90. Both have a DJ and a paid bar.

Open-bar sailing€95

The priciest per head, but the small-group sailing trip (max 10) is the only one with a genuine open bar, plus snacks and watersports, so a drinker can come out ahead.

The main thing we'd watch for is the drinks. Only the €95 sailing trip has an open bar; on the big party boats budget around €6 a drink on top of the ticket, which can quickly close the gap with the pricier cruises if you plan a big session.

From Our Experience

We've found the drinks policy matters more than the ticket price: only the small-group sailing trip has a real open bar, so on the big party boats, where you get one drink and then pay around €6 a round, a lively group can easily spend more than they did on the ticket.

Tips for Your Mallorca Boat Party

Book a Palma departure: Nearly every party boat leaves from Palma harbour or Club de Mar, so stay in or near the city, or plan a taxi from the southwest resorts like Magaluf and Palmanova.
Budget for drinks: Only the small-group sailing trip has an open bar. The big boats include one drink and then charge about €6 each, so bring a card or cash for the bar.
Sunset or daytime: Sunset cruises are the classic party slot with the best light; daytime cruises swap the sunset for a longer swim and a sunnier deck. Pick by the vibe you want.
Pick your deck on the big boats: The main deck is the loud dance floor and the upper deck is the calmer sun spot, so choose your level. The music is genuinely loud: these are party boats, not quiet scenic cruises.
Adults-only option: If you want a no-families crowd, the 18-plus cruise is the one to choose; the other boats are mixed-age.
Groups, stags and hens: For a stag or hen party, block-book tickets on one boat, or hire a private charter separately if you want the boat to yourselves.
Bring swimwear: Most cruises include a swim stop where you jump off the boat, so wear or pack swimwear and a towel, though on the big party boats it is occasionally cut short or skipped if time or weather is tight.
Book ahead in summer: The popular sunset slots fill up on peak-season weekends, so reserve a few days out rather than turning up at the marina.
Pace yourself in the sun: It is hot, boozy, and on the water, so drink water between rounds and wear sun cream.

Why You Can Trust This Guide

We compared every bookable boat party in Mallorca across GetYourGuide, Viator, and operator websites to build this guide, weighing review volume, ratings, the departure point, what is included, the drinks policy, and the kind of crowd, rather than marketing claims. We focus on what actually shapes a boat party: whether it is a big shared DJ boat or a small-group sail, what is included versus what you pay for at the bar, the duration and the swim stop, and whether it is adults-only or mixed. We are careful to flag where a boat has a paid bar rather than an open one, and where a tour is more of a relaxed sail than a packed party. Where details were thin, we checked across multiple platforms and recent reviews to confirm the real picture. Our recommendations are independent. We are not paid to feature any operator, and the comparison reflects the pricing, ratings, and traveler feedback as we found them, so you can book the boat party that fits your group, your budget, and the night you want.

How We Selected These Tours

The Spain Travel Insider team built this list around what matters most for a Mallorca boat party: a genuine party atmosphere, a clear departure point, honest information on drinks and inclusions, and a format to suit different groups. Every tour here is a verified, bookable experience with a real volume of recent reviews. We left out boats with thin feedback, vague departure details, or unclear inclusions, which matter most when the difference between a packed DJ boat and a quiet sail is so large. We also spread the picks across the kinds of boat party on the island: the big, cheap sunset and daytime DJ boats from Palma, a more upmarket party catamaran with food, an adults-only cruise, and a small-group sailing trip with an open bar, so there is a fit whatever your group, budget, and the night you have in mind.
