Day vs Night Boat Party in Split: Which One Should You Book?

Sep 18

3 min read

Two boats. Two very different experiences. People ask us this every day at check-in, usually after they have already booked, so let us settle it early.

The Short Answer

Want to swim in the Blue Lagoon and catch the sunset? Day party.

Want a super affordable, fast paced, banging start to a night out? Night party.

Got two nights in Split? Do both. They are built to stack.

Side-by-Side

Price: Day is from €40. Night is €20. The night party is the best value entry point to Split nightlife, full stop.

Timing: Day runs 13:00 check-in, 14:00 departure, back in Split at 19:00. Night runs 19:30 check-in, 20:30 departure, back at 23:30.

Swimming: Day only. The Blue Lagoon stop is the centrepiece and it is the single most photographed part of most people's Croatia trip. The night boat is a panoramic cruise, and there is no swim stop.

The View: Day gives you turquoise water and golden hour. Night gives you Split lit up from the water, which is a genuinely underrated sight. The old town glows.

Energy: The day party builds. It starts social, gets loud, peaks at the lagoon, then goes euphoric at sunset. The night party is at full volume from minute one because everyone boards already in the mood.

What is Included?: Both give you a welcome shot and free club entry. Day adds the swim stop. Night adds the boat to pub crawl format, where we head to the club all together.

How it Ends?: Day drops you back at 19:00, so you have time for dinner, a shower and a reset before the club at 23:30. Night drops you at 23:30 and you walk straight to the club with our guides. No gap, no momentum lost.

Book the Day Party if

It is your only full day in Split and you want to explore the Adriatic
You want the Blue Lagoon photos
You are travelling with people who want swimming as well as drinking
You would rather peak at sunset than at midnight
You are a solo traveller looking to meet people, five hours beats three

Book the Night Party if

You are on a budget and want the maximum experience for only €20
You arrive in Split in the afternoon and cannot make a 14:00 departure
You have already done a day trip and want the evening version
You burn easily and would rather not spend five hours under a Croatian sun

Doing Both

Plenty of groups join the day party on one day and night party on the next, or even do both the same day. Either way works well. If you decide to do both the same day don’t forget to pace yourself.

Pick One and Go

Day tickets are on the availability page. Night tickets are on the night party page. Both sell out in peak season, so decide now and book direct.

When to Book

As early as you can. In peak season, June through August, the party can sell out several days in advance. Walk-ins sometimes work if we get a late cancellation, but it is a gamble and you would need to wait until check-in closes at 14:00.

Changes are free. Cancellations are free with 7 or more days notice, minus a €5 bank fee. Inside 72 hours the refund drops to 50%, and under 72 hours there is no refund. Full details on our FAQ page.
