Event Description

The great classic of Maltese nightlife returns in 2026 with a special edition that will get people talking: the French Boat Party by Lazy Pirate. Known as the island's most iconic boat party, this event makes its big comeback for the summer with its unique concept — this time with a French touch that brings together the best crowd in the archipelago.

Picture it: an authentic Turkish wooden gulet sailing along the coast, a completely unlimited open bar, a DJ on the decks raising the temperature at sunset, and a memorable night swim under the stars. It's the perfect meeting point for French-speaking and international travellers who want an unmissable party experience.

⚓ What awaits you aboard the Fernandes II

Far from generic catamarans, Lazy Pirate offers a party cruise with real character:

  • 🚢 An exceptional vessel: The Fernandes II, a beautiful, authentic Turkish wooden gulet offering a unique setting and plenty of character.

  • 🍹 Unlimited open bar: Once the lines are cast off, enjoy all-you-can-drink (vodka, tequila, whiskey, rum, gin, beer, wine, sangria and soft drinks) along with snacks and fresh fruit.

  • 🎧 Live DJ & dancefloor: An evolving musical selection to accompany the sunset before turning the deck into a genuine floating club.

  • 🌌 Magical night swim: A night-time swimming stop out at sea, in clear water lit by the moon.

  • 🌅 Sunset panorama: A stunning view of Valletta and St Julian's bathed in the last light of the day.

What to expect for

Lazy Pirate Boat Party at Sliema Ferries

The Lazy Pirate Boat Party is the most iconic and unmissable sea party on the island. Embark aboard the Fernandes II, an authentic wooden Turkish gulet with a capacity of 200 people. Far from generic catamarans, this traditional sailboat offers the ideal setting to discover Malta's nightlife. It's a gathering point for a young and international clientele, particularly popular with solo travelers, Erasmus students, and groups on bachelor/bachelorette parties in Malta.

Sunset, open bar, and onboard DJ

Departing from Sliema Ferries (directly opposite The Black Sheep bar), the cruise sets sail to offer you an exceptional panoramic view of the sunset facing the fortifications of Valletta and the skyline of St Julian's. Throughout the crossing, enjoy an unlimited open bar including a wide selection of drinks: vodka, tequila, whiskey, rum, gin, beer, wine, sangria, and soft drinks. A resident DJ provides the musical atmosphere throughout the evening to transform the deck into a true floating club.

The unique experience of a night swim under the stars

The highlight of this boat party remains its nocturnal swimming stop (moonlight swim). The captain drops anchor in the open sea to allow you to dive into the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean under the moonlight. Snacks and fresh fruits are also available on board to recharge your energy. The return to port is scheduled for around midnight, a strategic timing to continue your festive night in Paceville's biggest clubs.

Key Information:

  • Meeting point: Sliema Ferries (Triq Ix-Xatt) at 6:30 PM. Departure at 7:00 PM.
  • Availability: Every Friday and Saturday, from April to September.
  • Conditions: Event strictly reserved for adults (18 years and over). Physical ID required.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it's essential! The moonlight swim under the stars is one of the highlights of the Lazy Pirate. We recommend wearing your swimsuit directly under your party clothes. Remember to bring a towel and possibly some dry clothes for the return to port, as the marine air can get chilly around midnight.

As soon as you board, the bar is fully open and free for the entire duration of the cruise (4 to 5 hours). Included are: vodka, tequila, whiskey, rum, gin, beer, wine, sangria, and soft drinks. The servers are there to make sure you don't want for anything, but don't forget to drink water between drinks: partying is great, but staying clear-headed for the night dive is even better!

Unfortunately not. This Boat Party is strictly for adults (18+). Strict ID checks are carried out at the dock before boarding. You must present an official physical ID (identity card or passport). Photos or copies on smartphones are systematically refused.
