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.

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.
