The Afternoon of Dreams on the IBZ Boat Party

Summer is officially here on Ibiza! If you haven't added a boat party to your bucket list, you have not lived up to the ultimate Ibiza experience.

On Monday, we did just that with the IBZ boat party, with 4 non-stop hours of partying under the Balearic sunshine.

The boat party runs from 13:00 until 17:00 every day until Thursday 26 September, so you have plenty of time to consider hopping on board one, two, ten or twenty times this summer. Ibiza offers lots of boat party package deals, with combo-tickets to different events to provide the best value for money with a ticket that includes several parties for a fantastic price.

To see if the IBZ boat party is the one for you, then see below for details.

FREE BAR AND MEAL ON BOARD

Barra ibre fiestas en barco en Ibiza

At 12:00, we arrived at the meeting point in Playa d'en Bossa (full address here). As soon as we stepped off the coach, we were offered a selection of ice-cold energy drinks to keep us hydrated before heading onto the boat.

Today was just another sell-out for IBZ, and as we jumped aboard the colourful boat, we were greeted with a slice of fresh pizza and a cup of fruity sangria.

There will be a FREE bar for the duration of the party. This includes anything from spirit mixers, beer, sangria, cava and even freshly made mojitos! There is never a queue at the bar and you can guarantee to be served in under 5 minutes.

All drinks are served in reusable, bio-degradable alternatives to help save the environment - no plastic!

Halfway through the trip, everybody is given a portion of tasty paella or veggie pasta made by the local chef franchisors. On top of that, there is a selection of fresh fruit available throughout the party.

Again, this is all FREE. Even if you wanted to pay, it would not be possible as there is no till on the boat. Leave your wallet at home!

THE MUSIC: DJ AND LIVE SAXOPHONE PLAYER

The IBZ resident DJs have everything under control when it comes to the tunes. The playlist on board consisted of an awesome mix of vocal house and dance anthems.

Top tracks from the afternoon included Michael Bibi's 'The Hanging Tree' and 'Gotta Let You Go' by Dominica.

Not only that, there is a live saxophone performance during the party and a photographer on board to capture all the best bits.

WATER SPORTS

After hours of dancing, what better way to cool off than getting into the ocean? On board the IBZ boat, you have the option to take part in the following activities: flying banana and jetski passenger rides.

I'm not the type of girl who worries about getting her hair wet, so I was one of the first to jump on the back of a jetski and whiz through the ocean - it was completely nuts!

AFTER PARTIES

As the boat docks at 17:00, the chances are you're not ready to go home just yet, I certainly was not! The energy was high and our group of new-found friends headed over to Bora Bora, a massive beach party with free entry. If you would rather not pay the extra price of drinks inside the venue, then head to the local supermarket, grab some booze and sit on the beach.

Just when you think it can not get any better, you are wrong. The online ticket to the IBZ Boat Party also includes one entry to Ushuaïa - any day entry before 18:00 (before 16:00 for Saturdays), or Hï - any day entry before 01:00 and before 00:00 for Afterlife on Thursdays. (Important: you can go to Ushuaïa or Hï - you choose which).

The offer does not include some events such as the party, parties with David Guetta (BIG / FMIF) or Calvin Harris, nor the opening and closing parties, nor some special events with limited availability.

THE IBZ BOAT PARTY PACKAGE IN A NUTSHELL

All of the above comes at the incredibly reasonable price of 89 euros.

That's an open bar, a meal and fresh fruit, water sports, live entertainment, a photographer plus entrance to a super club of your choice.

If you think that one ticket to a super-club comes at a hefty 40-70 euros, and you can pay just a little extra to get just that AND all of the boat party and its entities, it's an offer of amazing value and one of the very best, if not the best, on the island.

So what are you waiting for? Get your tickets to the IBZ boat party now!
