The Ibiza VIP Cruises catamaran party is a daytime party boat holding as many as 254 guests on a double-deck catamaran that leaves Ibiza Town in the afternoon, anchors off Playa d’en Bossa for about two hours and returns by 5:30 PM. It is one of four boats on my party boat Ibiza page.

The detail that changes the decision is the ticket tier, not the boat. The listing sells three tickets with different bars and food, and the from-price of $67 is the base level: paella is stated as not included for it. Pick the tier first, then the date.

What is the Ibiza VIP Cruises catamaran party and what do you see?

It is a floating day party: a DJ, a live saxophonist and an on-board host play to the main deck while the catamaran idles at anchor in the bay of Playa d’en Bossa, with a water slide and an underwater viewing window for the swim break. The sound system is named in the listing as VOID and Martin Audio.

• Main deck: free tables, bench seating and bean bags, first come first served.
• Upper deck: open-air area with 22 VIP sunbeds and 4 jacuzzis, both paid extras.
• Swim stop: about 2 hours at anchor, with the slide and a glass-bottom viewing area; ask the crew to show you the seabed.
• Afterparty: a wristband gives free entry to Tantra, the club at Playa d’en Bossa, on the day or on any later day of your stay.

Where does the Ibiza VIP Cruises catamaran leave from?

The boat leaves from the City Boat dock opposite the Botafoch Cruise Terminal by the terminal at Carrer de la Mola number 31 (postcode 07800), and the listing tells you to cross the road from the terminal to reach it. Open the Botafoch dock on Google Maps.

The operator lists free parking behind the dock inside the terminal area, which makes a taxi or your own car both workable. I have no route data for buses from the old town, so I will not give a walking time; the listing gives none either.

What is the route, and how is the 3 hours split?

The listed timetable is 15 minutes of sailing past Dalt Vila, another 15 minutes on the catamaran, about 2 hours at the swim and party anchorage, and 30 minutes back to Botafoch.

The listing shows the swim stop as a plus code; the text says it is the anchorage off Playa d’en Bossa, so that is the name I use. Itineraries are marked as subject to change.

What do the three tickets include?

Every ticket has a 3-hour open bar and the club entry; the step up is in cocktails and paella, so the Standard ticket is a drinks-only boat party. The Premium ticket adds the longest drinks list.

The listing shows the from-price for the base tier only and does not state the Advance and Premium prices on the page I read, so check them in the booking widget for your date. A party that starts at 2:30 PM with no lunch is a real consideration: eat before check-in if you choose Standard.

What do the VIP sunbeds and jacuzzis cost?

A VIP sunbed starts at €100 and a sunbed with a private jacuzzi starts at €250, and each price covers one sunbed whatever the head count. Each sunbed measures 150 cm by 135 cm and the listing recommends it for 3 to 5 guests.

Both are subject to availability, and one reviewer in the sample says a booked bed gives priority boarding. Treat that as a single report, not a guarantee. At four guests a sunbed adds less than a second paella would, so for a group the bed is cheaper than it looks.

How does it compare with other Ibiza party boats?

At $67 for 3 hours it is the cheapest of the four party boats on my site and has the highest rating, 4.8 from 187 reviews, but it also has fewer reviews than the Aftersun boat.

If you want the party timed to the sunset, the Aftersun boat is the sunset option; this one finishes at 5:30 PM, well before the 7:17 PM sunset in October. Browse the wider boat tours in Ibiza if you want a quiet day instead.

Is the Ibiza VIP Cruises catamaran party worth it against the other boats?

For one afternoon of drinks and dancing with a club entry attached, I'd book this boat over the dearer ones; for a sunset or a meal-led day, I would not. The price per hour of $22 is below the Ibiza median, and what you pay for here is the entertainment and the wristband.

• Worth it: friends or couples who want a daytime party and plan to continue at Tantra.
• Weigh up: the base ticket has no food and the party time is about two hours.
• Look elsewhere: for a long day on the water, see the catamaran tours in Ibiza that include meals and swim stops.

Is the Ibiza boat party the best way to see Dalt Vila and the bay?

It gives a 15-minute look at Dalt Vila from the water and a long stop in the bay, but it is not a sightseeing cruise: nobody narrates the old town and the time is set by the party. If the walls and the harbour are the point, a quieter boat serves you better.

When is the best time to go?

June to September gives the hottest air and the lowest rain count; July has the fewest rain days at 0.8 and a long-term average high of 31 degrees Celsius. In mid-October the sea is still 24.6 degrees Celsius, and the listing carries reviews dated up to 16 October 2026, so the boat was running this month.

The listing gives no season dates for the party, so ask Ibiza VIP Cruises when the last sailing of the year is before you plan around a late-autumn date. Spain’s weather service publishes the sea forecast at AEMET.

19,053,592 tourists arrived in the Balearic Islands in 2025, so a July or August afternoon on this boat is busy.

What do passengers say?

Passengers talk most about the crew, the DJ and the atmosphere. I could read only ten reviews, all five-star and sorted as recommended, so the sample is positive-only; GetYourGuide’s own summary adds that some travellers want more variety in the music.

• Crew and entertainers (about 7 of 10): the DJ, the saxophonist and the host are named again and again.
• Atmosphere (about 5 of 10): friends’ trips, birthdays and couples all fit in.
• Captain and service (3 of 10): praised for friendliness.
• Music variety: the one reservation, from the summary of 85 verified reviews.

Who should skip this catamaran party?

Skip it if you want peace, a sunset, a meal-led day or a small group. Anyone who dislikes loud music or crowds for three hours will be happier on the quieter options in the Ibiza boat tours hub.

• Late arrivals: the dock closes at 2:30 PM.
• No lunch: the Standard ticket has no paella.
• Mobility: the listing says wheelchair accessible, so confirm the boarding ramp with the operator.
