Boat Parties and Party Cruises in Tenerife

A boat party is one of the most popular things to do on a group trip to Tenerife: a few hours at sea with a DJ, drinks and a swim stop. Most leave from Puerto Colón marina in Costa Adeje or Los Cristianos harbour, and they’re especially popular with stag and hen groups.

What to expect

  • Duration: typically 3–4 hours.
  • On board: DJ, drinks (often an open bar for part of the trip), swim stop, sometimes food.
  • When: daytime and sunset trips; most run in the afternoon.

Operators such as Utopia appear in our listings with pool and boat parties. Upcoming boat and pool parties are listed below when they’re published.

Choosing a trip

  1. Check what’s included: drinks, food, transfers.
  2. Look for licensed operators with good reviews.
  3. Groups should book well ahead for weekends.

Calmer alternatives

Prefer something gentler? Try a whale and dolphin watching trip or a sunset catamaran cruise.
