Music, laughter, toasts with the Mediterranean as your backdrop and an entire sailboat just for your group. Throwing a boat party in Alicante is one of those ideas that, the moment you suggest it, everyone says yes without thinking twice. It doesn't matter whether it's a birthday, a hen or stag do, an anniversary or simply an excuse to celebrate — the result is always the same: a day nobody forgets.
In Alicante we have something that makes any party on board truly special: over 300 days of sunshine a year, a sea that looks like a natural swimming pool from April to October and a coastline packed with coves where you can anchor and swim with no one else around. You don't need any sailing experience, you don't need to organise anything complicated. You step aboard, put on your music and the skipper takes care of the rest.
Types of party you can throw on a boat in Alicante
The beauty of celebrating at sea is that the format adapts to whatever you need. There's no fixed script — you set the pace of the day. These are the events we organise most often:
Private birthdays
A birthday on a sailboat is something else entirely. No packed restaurants, no waiting for a table, no neighbours at the next table. Bring the cake, the decorations and your favourite playlist. We provide the boat, the open bar, the paddle board and a setting that no venue on land can match.
Hen and stag parties
This is our most popular event. Groups of friends who want something different, fun and hassle-free. If you're organising a hen or stag do, we have a complete guide specifically for boat hen parties with all the details.
Anniversaries and romantic celebrations
A sunset sail with your partner or close friends is probably the most special experience you can give as a gift. Imagine raising a glass as the sun drops into the sea while you sail past the Castle of Santa Bárbara.
Corporate events and team building
A private sailboat is the perfect space for team building: away from the office, no screens, with activities like paddle boarding and snorkelling that break the ice better than any group exercise. It also works brilliantly for entertaining clients or celebrating team milestones.
What's included in a boat party with us
Something that always surprises our clients is everything that's included in the price. No small print, no unexpected extras:
- Professional skipper — Carlos or Vicente handle the sailing, the stops and the anchoring. You just enjoy. If you want to know more, we've explained why hiring a boat with a skipper is the best decision
- Fuel — included, no extras
- Unlimited open bar — water, Coca-Cola, beer, tinto de verano and ice throughout the trip
- Paddle board — for the cove stops
- Snorkelling gear — especially brilliant if you're heading to Tabarca
- Private boat for your group — maximum 12 people, total privacy
Can you bring your own food and decorations? Absolutely. Balloons, bunting, banners, cakes, cheese boards, cold nibbles... everything is welcome. Bring your Bluetooth speaker and your playlist — music is an essential part of the experience.
Options and schedules: choose the perfect plan for your party
Every celebration is different. That's why we offer several options so the duration and timing fit exactly what you want:
Half day (4 hours) — The most popular format
Schedule: 10:00–14:00 (morning) or 15:00–19:00 (afternoon)
Four hours of sailing through the coves closest to the harbour: Postiguet, Almadraba, Playa de San Juan. Plenty of time to anchor, swim, paddleboard, eat and enjoy the party. The afternoon slot is the favourite because it lets you decorate the boat before setting off and then continue the celebration with dinner in Alicante's city centre.
Six hours — Party with sunset included
Schedule: 15:00–21:00
The 6-hour plan adds something no other option can offer: watching the sunset from the sea. You sail further, there's more time at each stop and the end of the day with the sunset colours over the Mediterranean is, without exaggeration, one of those moments that stays with you forever.
Full day (8 hours) — The premium experience with Tabarca
Schedule: 11:00–19:00
This is the most complete option. You sail to the island of Tabarca, stop for snorkelling in the marine reserve, have lunch at a restaurant on the island (we handle the booking) and cruise back with a stop at a cove along the way. A full day where nothing is missing.
11 hours — Nautical marathon
Schedule: 11:00–22:00
For those who want to squeeze every last drop out of the day. Tabarca, coves, paddle boarding, snorkelling, lunch, open bar and finishing by watching the sunset from the water. The most complete experience we offer.
Sunset (2 hours) — Nautical aperitivo
Schedule: 20:00–22:00
Two hours sailing at sunset with open bar. Perfect as a pre-dinner plan or for groups who want a special touch without dedicating half a day. If your party falls in June, we also run trips to watch the Hogueras fireworks from the sea.

How to book your boat party
Organising your party is easier than you think:
1. Get in touch
Send us a WhatsApp on +34 602 214 093 or email barcosdealquiler86@gmail.com with your preferred date, number of people and the option you're interested in.
2. Confirm with the deposit
The booking is confirmed with a 50% deposit via bank transfer. The remainder is paid in cash on the day of the trip.
3. Prepare the party
Decorations, food, music — whatever you like. The boat is your canvas. For food, the most practical option is to bring cold nibbles (charcuterie boards, fruit, snacks). If you choose the 8-hour option with Tabarca, lunch is at a restaurant.
4. Arrive at the harbour
Boarding point: Real Club de Regatas de Alicante, Muelle Poniente 3, right in the city centre. There's parking right next to it. Arrive 10–15 minutes before departure time.
5. Enjoy
The skipper handles everything: sailing, stops, anchoring in coves. All you have to do is have a great time.
Tips to make your boat party perfect
- Book in advance. In high season (June–August) weekends fill up fast. Three to four weeks' notice is ideal.
- Cold food, always. Charcuterie boards, cheese, fruit, snacks and cakes. Avoid anything that stains — the boat has wooden and teak decking.
- Sunscreen, towel and a hat. Sounds obvious, but the sun at sea hits twice as hard.
- No black-soled shoes. To avoid marking the deck. Best option: flip-flops or barefoot.
- Cancellation insurance. For €50 you can cancel at any time without losing your deposit. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we cancel at no cost to you.
Frequently asked questions about boat parties in Alicante
Do we need a sailing licence?
No. The boat always goes out with a professional skipper. You don't need to know anything about sailing.
Can we play music?
Of course. Bring a Bluetooth speaker and your playlist. It's an essential part of any party on board.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If weather conditions don't allow a safe departure, we cancel at no cost and refund 100% of the amount. The decision is made by the skipper, always prioritising safety.
How many people can fit?
Maximum 12 people. It's a 19-metre private sailboat, not a 40-seat catamaran. That exclusivity is precisely what makes the experience so special.
Can we bring food on board?
Yes, absolutely. The most common choice is cold nibbles, charcuterie boards, fruit and cakes. On 8-hour and 11-hour trips we can book a table at a restaurant on Tabarca.
What if someone gets seasick?
We sail on a sailboat, which is far less prone to causing motion sickness than motorboats or speedboats. The coast of Alicante is very sheltered and the sea is usually calm. If someone is very prone, a Dramamine tablet 30 minutes before boarding does the trick.
Can we take photos and videos?
Of course. The surroundings are so photogenic you won't be able to stop reaching for your phone. The turquoise coves, the sailboat, the decorated deck... it's all content for social media.
Your next party starts at the port of Alicante
It doesn't matter what you're celebrating — what matters is that it's a day you'll remember forever. A private sailboat on the Mediterranean, open bar, paddle boarding, crystal-clear coves and your favourite people. There's no plan that beats that.
Get in touch and we'll organise it together. You can check out all our experiences on board to discover other options.
