What is a Boat Party in Malta?
A Boat Party in Malta is a sea party aboard a festive boat — unlimited open bar, live DJ, swimming in turquoise waters and sunset over the Mediterranean. Every week from June to October, hundreds of travelers board from Sliema Ferries to experience the island's most iconic activity. It's a floating club, a swimming excursion and an international meeting point — all included in the ticket price. Malta Adventures offers three Boat Party: the iconic Lazy Pirate (an authentic wooden Turkish gulet), the Mega Boat Party (festive and relaxed, with a Blue Lagoon swim) and the White Boat Party (premium, white dress code, 2 dance floors). All depart from Sliema Ferries and last between 4 and 5 hours.
Lazy Pirate French Boat Party: the French touch edition
The Lazy Pirate French Boat Party is the French-touch edition of Malta's most iconic boat party. Same exceptional vessel — the Fernandes II, an authentic wooden Turkish gulet — but a meeting point designed for French-speaking and international travelers. On the program: unlimited open bar (vodka, tequila, whiskey, rum, gin, beer, wine, sangria and soft drinks), snacks and fresh fruit, a live DJ heating up the vibe at sunset, and the famous moonlight swim under the stars. Meet at Sliema Ferries (opposite The Black Sheep bar) at 6:30 PM, Fridays and Saturdays from April to September. Young crowd (18-30), limited to 200 people, from 69€ open bar included.
How does a Boat Party in Malta work?
You arrive at Sliema Ferries 15 minutes before departure — the atmosphere is already building on the pier. As soon as you board, the open bar is open: spirits, beers, softs, everything is included. The boat heads out towards the waters of Comino. The DJ starts their set, people start dancing. Midway through, the boat stops for a swimming break in crystal-clear waters (Mega Boat Party). Then the set picks up again until you return to Sliema around 11 PM. The party in Paceville starts where the Boat Party ends — it's a 10-minute taxi ride.
When is the best time for a Boat Party in Malta?
The Boat Party season in Malta runs from June to October. Peak time is July and August — both boats sell out several days in advance. If you want specific dates without risking a sell-out, June and September offer the best balance: perfect temperatures, fewer crowds, easier to book. Don't wait until the last minute in summer — tickets go fast and prices increase based on demand. Online booking takes 2 minutes and your ticket arrives by email immediately.
Boat Party in Malta for a stag or hen party?
The Boat Party is the number 1 activity for stag and hen groups in Malta. The festive atmosphere, unlimited open bar and sea setting make it an unforgettable moment to celebrate before the big day. The Mega Boat Party is perfect for a relaxed group — no strict dress code, sandwich included, swimming. The White Boat Party is ideal for a premium stag or hen with white dress code and 2 dance floors. Malta Adventures also organizes complete stag and hen programs: check our Stag Malta guide for a tailor-made program.

You still get the best of Malta Adventures: open bar all day and an all-you-can-eat buffet lunch included.

- Giant sun nets at the bow, snorkeling and sea caves
