Find out why Boat Party Split (the original one) is voted the best party boat in Croatia. With two swim stops, international DJs, beach club vibes, and an energetic crowd it's the best day party in Split.
Planning a trip to Split, Croatia and looking for the best place to party? Look no further than Boat Party Split. The name says it all, we made boat parties in Split famous! The rest are just copies, and with so many of them now popping up along the Adriatic Coast, we are here to make your choice easier. This blog dives into why The Original Boat Party remains the #1 choice for day time party goers and any celebration: friend trips, hen do, stag do, and even better for solo travellers coming to Split for the first time!
What is Boat Party Split?
Launched in 2020, The Original Boat Party in Split has become an unforgettable experience for everyone involved from the over 80.000 guests to all the staff members who have joined us year after year... It's more than just a party on a boat, it's a full experience at sea.

Two swim stops, 1) The Blue Lagoon where the slides comes out 2) A hidden bay
Free shots going around with our super fun animators and their vodka guns!
A fully stocked bar with cheap drinks (with no minimum card spend) and both cash and card payments accepted!
Food, the best chicken nuggets & chips in Split, rumour has it that the nuggets are better than McDonalds
On the way back to land our captain makes sure to position the boat on the best spot to catch unreal sunsets every single day!

You'll party alongside an international crowd of over 300 people (peak season) and 150 (low season), partying with a team of experienced DJs, bartenders, and content creators who know how to get everyone hyped. If you don't leave the boat with at least 100 new friends you're doing it wrong, from guests to crew we are all here for a good time not a long time.
Unique Features That Set It Apart
Two Next Level Swim Stops
Giant Water Slide into the Blue Lagoon: the only boat party in split with an inflatable slide and water toys. Take a dip at the Blue Lagoon to try out the water slide. Need a life jacket? No problem, let a member of the team know and we will happily help you.
Hidden Bay in the Island of Šolta: ever imagined partying and swimming on an island where a Roman Emperor spent part of his summers? Neither did we, and that's what makes it so cool and extra refreshing in the summer heat. While other party boats are just trying to squeeze your wallet and have you on their ship for as long as possible, we prioritize your fun and comfort with our 2 swim stops.
The Afters
Keep the party going throughout the night with the free club entry to some of the best clubs in Split. Being the oldest boat party in Split we partner with some of the best clubs in town! The venue is always announced on the day of the event and you will get free access just by showing your Boat Party Split wristband, in some cases and depending on the club you will even be able to skip the line!
New Departures
Olife Beach Club, Brač Island: catch either of our departures, to the blue lagoon or to our beach club with our NEW destination on Brac island.

International DJ Lineup
From house, r&b, sing alongs and throwback hits, to party anthems, the music is always on point. A mix of resident and guest DJs from around the world keep the energy high and switch things up to appeal to the crowd on the boat!
Massive Party Boat
With space for people across two levels, there’s room to dance, chill, or soak up the sun. Upstairs is where you'll find the DJs and the high-energy dance floor, while downstairs can find a more relaxed lounge vibe.
Card and Cash Payments
Unlike most boat parties in Split that are cash-only, The Original Boat Party Split makes things easy by accepting both card & cash with no minimum spend on card.
