Ibiza: Party Boat w/ Drinks, Live Performances, DJ & Dancers

If you’re dreaming of Ibiza’s famous nightlife combined with a stunning sea voyage, this Party Boat experience promises just that. Crafted by Pukka Up, this tour offers a lively mix of music, dancing, and breathtaking views—the kind that makes you forget about the world on land. It’s perfect for those looking to celebrate, dance, and soak in the island’s vibrant energy from the water.

We particularly like how the tour starts with a pre-party at Rio Ibiza, giving guests a warm-up before heading onto the boat. The chance to see 360-degree sunset views (on select days) while grooving to house beats is genuinely enticing. But, keep in mind, no food is included, which might leave some guests craving a snack after hours of dancing and drinks. This experience suits party lovers, music fans, or anyone eager to combine scenic Ibiza with a lively social scene.
