After assembling on the jetty in front of Bar Albatros in Playa d'en Bossa, everyone was welcomed onboard Only Ibiza Boat Party. Boarding at 14:15, guests entered gingerly with a little trepidation. Perhaps feeling the effects of the night before or maybe just feeling the exhaustion from the beating mid-afternoon sun?
Nevertheless, we soon found ourselves gliding over the crystal-clear Mediterranean Sea and catching a breeze. Blasting away from shore to the sound of Balearic beats, the cruise took us out to the deep blue waters off Playa d'en Bossa's coast.
Before long, the crew at Only Ibiza had everyone with their hands in the air. Everyone was bouncing to their favourite summer tunes. The bar was then opened for maximum drinking, dancing and swim time.
Pumping out pure Ibiza summer tunes, the onboard DJ got guests in the mood for three hours of non-stop grooving. All the while, the MC kept everyone entertained. At one point, he even showering someone celebrating their birthday head to toe in cava.
As the anchor dropped, and with the go-go dancers in mid flow, partygoers began to mingle to the backdrop of Ibiza's sprawling coastline. With views and experiences like this, it is easy to see why Ibiza is the party capital of Europe.
In no time, boat party guests began to merge, as disparate groups gravitated towards each other and danced in unison, cheering one another on as we bombed, back-flipped and dived off the boat.
Included in the price was a tasty paella, fresh fruit and lots of refreshing beer, sangria, cava or soft drinks - all in plentiful supply. The chance to swim brought welcome relief from the blazing sun. Many guests chose to bask in the warm Balearic waters in between drinks and dancing.
The DJ, MC and podium dancers encouraged guests involved in party games, with the fellow passengers egging each other on to show off their moves.
As the final hour dawned on us, most people made their way up the rooftop. Yet, this rooftop provides more than breathtaking views alone. As the DJ's beats climbed higher and higher, canons of foam exploded, covering rooftop ravers in bubbles, as they screamed in delight.
Only Ibiza boasts being the only boat party with foam canons, and this certainly provided a fun and unique alternative to other options available on the island.
Stepping aboard Only Ibiza Boat for some frivolous fun on the high seas, felt like the perfect precursor to a big Ibiza night out. With approximately 30 to 40 revellers on board at any one time, this boat party boasts an intimate experience. There's enough space for everyone to boogie close to the DJ decks and get easy access to drinks.
The three hours on board felt just about right - giving guests the opportunity to loosen up with a few drinks and get to make new friends, as well as enjoy Ibiza's beautiful climate.
