- Host a private party “just because” aboard a historic wooden sailing yacht, far removed from conventional party boats.

- Celebrate in a setting with soul, where the nobility of the wood and classic design add a touch of distinction to your event.
- Personalise your party with a special theme (Ibiza party, 80s, etc.) and enjoy a soft drink or sangria per person per hour of sailing on board.

In detail
There are moments when you simply want to gather your loved ones and celebrate life. The Private Parties service on the Ocean Cruiser is designed for those no-occasion-needed events: a weekend get-together with friends, a spontaneous family celebration or a pool party in the middle of the sea. What sets us apart from the “wild parties” on ordinary boats is the character of our vessel. Sailing on a yacht over 40 years old creates a Boutique Party atmosphere: fun, vibrant, but always maintaining that natural elegance that only wood and sail can offer.
Our skipper will ensure the logistics are perfect so all you need to do is enjoy yourselves. You can choose a lively sail with your favourite music through the speakers, or find a quiet spot to enjoy your own food on board and take long swims in the sea using the swimming ladder. There are no fixed routes or set programmes here: the Ocean Cruiser adapts to whatever the moment calls for, ensuring your party is remembered for its style and exclusivity.
To get the celebration off to a great start, we will welcome you with a complimentary drink. We have a fridge to keep your drinks cool and you can bring your own nibbles or snacks so you have everything you need. As a private event, we will treat you to a bottle of cava for a toast. And if you want to add an extra touch, tell us your themed party idea: you can bring your own decorations to make the yacht look spectacular in the photos.

Review summary
Guests highlight the privacy and the freedom to run their own celebration on board, bringing their own playlist and decorations, along with a relaxed crew and the swim stop with a glass of cava. The classic sailing boat is often praised. Less positive comments note that it is a calm outing rather than a party boat, with sangria and soft drinks but no spirits, and that space can feel tight for dancing in larger groups.

Great afternoon out with the lads. Bear in mind its not a booze cruise, they do sangria and soft drinks but no spirits, so plan accordingly. Boat is a proper classic and the skipper was sound. The swim stop was the highlight for us.

Hi Ryan, glad you and the lads had a good time! You're right, we keep it to sangria and soft drinks rather than spirits for safety on board, so it's good to flag it for others. The swim stop is always a winner. Cheers!
Hired the boat for my sisters hen do and it was so much fun. We brought our own playlist and decorations and the crew let us do our thing. Swimming off the back of the boat with a glass of cava in hand, doesnt get much better than that.

Viajamos super confortables con mi familia, el paseo fue súper tranquilo, vimos muchos delfines y la tripulación súper simpática.
Un paseo muy agradable,hemos tenido suerte de ver varios delfines mulares alrededor del barco jugando con nosotros, la tripulación muy amable.
We spotted alot of dolphins!
Cómo todos los años nos damos un paseo en este fantástico velero clásico. Un encanto Juan Carlos, su capitán. Hemos visto delfines y se hace corto una hora. Se agradece que nos den unos refrescos de forma totalmente gratuita. La tripulación de diez. Volveré como cada año.
Hoy hemos tenido la suerte de pasear en este increíble velero! Desde la contratación hasta el propio paseo ha sido de 10 el trato al cliente y la calidad del servicio! Sin duda repetiremos!!!!!
Aujourd'hui 26 septembre 2023, superbe balade au départ de 11h. Mer calme, 30°c, après un apéritif offert , au bout de 20 mn nous avons aperçu 4 dauphins. Pendant une dizaine de minutes. Ils nous ont même proposés de nous baigner. Forcément 1h ça passe vite , mais ce fut une belle balade depaysante.
Superbe experience. Le capitaine et son matelot parlent bien le français. Ils sont respectueux des dauphins. Nous en avons même vu tout près du bateau. Je recommande cette sortie en famille.
I had the great pleasure to do a trip on the Ocean Cruiser and I urge anyone looking to do a boat trip/charter to go on this vessel. The Ocean Cruiser has the proud heritage of having sailed twice round the world and has been on tv. This is a true classic yacht and to be able to share in this heritage for a 15€/20€ boat trip is incredible ! The owners are passionate about the sea and their customers and if you want a great day out, please book this yacht. The yacht is quality and the crew are quality. You can charter for yourself and crew or as a passenger with others. Saïd is the salesman who will sell you the ticket and the yacht is situated inside the Marina nearer to the Metro restaurant. Ask for Saïd ! Top guy ! 👍
Chaque année depuis 10 ans nous profitons d’un (ou de plusieurs 😁) tour(s) en bateau avec le capitaine Juan Carlos. Nous ne sommes jamais déçus!! Toujours agréable, il parle parfaitement le français et il a toujours des informations et des anecdotes intéressantes à nous donner sur la vie marine ou même la vie en Espagne…Le bateau est confortable et les dauphins viennent nous faire un petit coucou de temps en temps. Juan Carlos est très vigilant à la conservation de la nature, il ne chasse pas les dauphins mais il éteint son moteur et attend qu’ils viennent à lui naturellement: Nous en avons été témoins cet été 2022 alors que d’autres bateaux les pourchassaient en les terrifiant. Je le recommande vivement comme vous l’aurez compris et je lui dis: « à l’été prochain!! »😉
Beautiful boat and the most amazing captain and crew. Always such a smooth and fun trip. We always go out to sea with ocean cruiser each time we visit the marina. I would highly recommend this to everyone x
