If you’re heading to Ibiza and craving a lively, authentic way to soak up the island’s famous sunset vibes, a sunset boat party might just be your ideal experience. This particular cruise, offered by Float Ibiza, promises a lively 3-hour trip filled with music, stunning coastline views, and access to two well-known clubs afterward. While we haven’t personally been on this exact tour, our review synthesizes hundreds of reviews and detailed descriptions to help you decide if it’s right for you.
What makes this cruise appealing? First, the live DJ playing a mix of Balearic house and Ibiza classics creates a vibrant party atmosphere. Second, the spectacular sunset views over Mambo and the coastline are truly breathtaking—perfect for those unforgettable photos. Third, the inclusion of entry to two popular clubs, O Beach and Esparadis, adds serious value for anyone planning a night out.
One factor to consider is that hotel transfers are not included, so you’ll need to plan your own transportation to the meeting point. Also, some might find the sangria a bit sweet or not to their taste, according to reviews, so bringing a little extra cash for drinks could be wise. This experience suits party-goers, music lovers, or anyone wanting a memorable sunset with some lively company, but it’s especially ideal for those eager to combine a boat trip with clubbing.

What to Expect on the Sunset Boat Party
The journey begins at the “Float Your Boat” kiosk in San Antonio harbor—a well-known starting point for many Ibiza boat trips. Be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes early to collect your wristbands and get oriented; this is a key point since missing the check-in could mean missing the boat. The boat departs around 6:00 PM (or 5:00 PM in September), so timing is important if you want to catch the sunset.

One reviewer described it as an “incredible sunset,” with the perfect backdrop for photos and a moment of serenity amid the party vibes.
Drinks and Food
The cruise includes 2 glasses of sangria, which many found to be a fun, refreshing refreshment—though a few mentioned they preferred beer or prosecco, so bringing extra cash might be smart.

Dancing and Socializing
The sundeck offers enough space to dance, but some reviewers caution that the boat can be a bit unsteady, especially while dancing, so comfortable shoes are recommended. The atmosphere tends to be friendly and social, perfect for mingling with fellow travelers or celebrating a special occasion.
The Club Access and Nightlife
One of the biggest draws of this experience is the inclusion of entry to Obeach and Esparadis. Depending on the day, you’ll get access to either O Beach (Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays) or Esparadis, giving you a smooth transition from boat party to clubbing.
Reviewers mention that the wristbands provided at check-in are a great perk, enabling them to skip lines and enjoy the clubs immediately after the cruise. Many rave about how this added convenience made their Ibiza nights more seamless, especially if they planned to visit multiple venues. Others appreciated the combination of the sunset cruise with club entries as excellent value for money.
The Difference Between Clubs
O Beach is known for its lively pool parties, good music, and a beach club vibe, while Esparadis offers a more traditional Ibiza clubbing scene with impressive light shows. Some guests mention that tickets to Eden can also be obtained with their wristbands, further extending the clubbing options for the evening.
Price and Overall Value
The ticket price, including the cruise, drinks, and two club entries, offers good value—especially considering the easy access to popular night venues. Reviewers like Kelly note that it’s a “good value boat party” that combines fun on the water with a night out.
Some critique the sangria’s flavor, but overall, guests feel they get their money’s worth, especially since the experience lasts longer than expected—many reviews mention the cruise feeling more like 3.5 hours. The ability to visit multiple clubs with the wristbands makes this a practical way to make the most of your Ibiza night.
