      Lots of fun - no swim stop
      It definitely had a good atmosphere with good music. Lots of fun and included pizza and a drink. We were expecting to stop and swim as we went on a thursday, but the boat only went out away from the bay and back again. Also, make sure to grab pizza straight away, or it will be gone! Would recommend to friends just wish it were more specific about whether a swim is included.

      Fantastic boat party
      This boat party is definitely a MUST if you're going with friends. The boat stands our from the other boats that are there, decorated well. There is a professional photographer on board who takes pictures of each group on board. The food was delicious and staff were friendly. The boat stops and we get to jump in if we too. Be careful to select good weather otherwise water will be too cold. The DJ was so lively and we all had fun. Perfect for a Hen Do.

      Worst part of our trip
      4 of us booked on for a 4 hour morning sail with live music and food. 2 days before departure I got a message from them saying they won't sail in the morning 'for logistical reasons' but 'quite the same' trip can be rebooked for the next day from 14:30-18:30. When I asked what the difference is I was told it's exactly the same just a shorter swim stop. The website stresses that we have to be there promptly as the boat will sail at the exact time no matter what. This was deffo not the case as we found a coach of german youngsters rocking up at 14:30 and boarded the boat, didn't start to sail until 14:50. When we got going the boat was rocking so much that we had to constantly hold the table, otherwise we'd be falling off the chairs. There was no live music, only loud techno/house set by a DJ on autoplay who has left to party with the germans & chatting up girls. The music was so loud that you could barely have a convo upstairs. After about an hour of sailing we arrived at Palmanova beach - on our way we very nearly hit another boat. Once again, the site promises 'swimming in crystal clear waters & snorkeling options'. WELL WELL WELL We parked up between a bunch of other boats and people started jumping in from the sideof the boat. In about 5-10 mins as we were thinking of going in we started seeing a bunch of white stuff around the boat. At first we thought it was fish but then we could clearly see it was toilet paper everywhere. THEY LITERALLY EMPTIED THEIR TOILET TANK AT THE SWIM STOP RIGHT WHERE PEOPLE KEPT JUMPING IN & SUPPOSED TO SWIM. Most of the youngsters were too drunk to notice anyway but it was disgusting. The food was then served which was surprisingly tasty and the only reason this trip gets 2 stars as opposed to 1. We started sailing back and on our way back it was rocking even more. By this point many people were seasick and the smell of vomit was everywhere. But the journey back was only an hour and it was too soon to go back to shore so they kept going around in circles near Palma port. It was ridiculous. We couldn't get off the boat soon enough, €200 wasted on the worst 4 hours of our holiday. We should've canceled when we had the chance.

      Great party boat trip
      Great atmosphere with well priced drinks, plenty of dancing for the mainly 20 to 30 something crowd. Friendly and attentive bar staff, all in all a good experience

      It's a party boat!
      The TripAdvisor and company information about this trip is misleading. With several hours of booming house music and a number of pretty drunk people in a fug of dry ice, the party went into overdrive out in Palma Bay. Which is fine if it is your thing but not what we were expecting. We managed to get a table on the top of the boat so could enjoy the sunset. We resisted attempts by the good natured crew to go downstairs and party. A more chilled sunset vibe would have suited us better.

    On the confirmation email I received it was a wrong departure address. I arrived 25 min before the leaving time at the address I received. When I realized it was wrong I called the company and they simple said they were about to leave and didn’t care about the issue. They said I was the only one who got the wrong address ( like I needed to explain mylelf)? I found them extremely rude, no respect for the client and with a bad attitude. They didn’t took responsibility for the issue and didn’t tried to help at all in any second. I would never recommend this place to anyone and I would never be in a bout that has this kind of attitudes towards the clients. If they react like this about an intern issue from their own system, imagine how would they behave if something happens to the bout while the trip is going on? Bad company and extremely bad attitude towards the clients. For sure I’m not the first or last one to complain, so if you read this just go for another company, because this one is absolutely not trustworthy.

    Nice trip with good bar and supreme live music, the DJ plays live guitar to his lounge beats. Good food, 2 swimming stops.

    Not much to see though, the stops are pretty much in the open ocean, no scenic coastline. Also, the music is slighty too loud for the loudspeakers, the sound breaks every now and then.

    Overall a recommended trip.

    We chose the 10-2 boat on a Monday, excellent choice. Chilled vibes with a party style ending. Excellent value for money. The Brazilian host made everyone feel evolved and welcome. Live music elevated the experience. Stunning coast line with time to swim in the crystal clear waters. Fantastic buffet lunch with a choice of 10 foods. Fresh delicious salad, suitable for all diets. Plenty of food left over for seconds or thirds!
    We were told the weekend has more of a party vibe and the later in the day you choose the more ‘vibrant’ the crowd can become. A Memorial Day suitable for all ages.
    I hope to return and try another time slot while on my holiday.

    It was so much fun from the very start, we got sat upstairs and when we set off the DJ started playing his guitar which was really cool. The stop offs to swim were gorgeous and it was great being able to jump off the top of the boat, there was also a lower deck to jump from. I’d recommend to bring your own goggles as they aren’t provided. The food was nice too, all around a great trip and good vibes. Since we chose the earlier trip we thought there could be families and it be really chilled but it was still loads of fun and not any young children.

    It was definitely a fun idea and I enjoyed meeting people, dancing, good food, and a beautiful swim. The only thing that was weird was that the alcoholic drinks were really diluted. I would still recommend it for the reasons listed above because the price was great!

    Barca Samba was really great. The staff were amazing, the DJ was keeping the party alive throughout the entire trip. After starting the party on the boat we stopped for a swim in a beautiful place surrounded by rocky cliffs and really clear water (the views were amazing). After that they served the food which offered pretty decent choices, considering the price of the trip. You also had 2 drinks for free included with your ticket. After our stop we headed back and continued the party with the DJ. The atmosphere on the boat was great, and everyone on the boat was friendly and had a good time. My only complaint is that if you didn’t arrive early enough to get a sit on the bottom where the bar was, the rooftop had no shade at all, which in the hot weather was uncomfortable.

    Everything was great. Crew were friendly and fun especially one girl with curly hair. The dj Diego was amazing - great music and great live guitar. Everyone enthusiastic and encouraging people to dance. Only thing that wasn’t enthusiastic was the people! We went on the 10 AM session so there wasn’t many people and the vibe wasn’t lively, we were expecting a party but it was more like a relaxing tour apart from when the crew got everyone to dancing for 10 minutes (no fault of the boat, just the crowd onboard I guess). Food was great I was expecting standard burger and chips BBQ but there were loads of options.

    If you’re older and don’t like the noise and crowd then the 10AM session is for you but if you want a party experience book the afternoon or night tour.

    The crew is very hard working! The price is great for how long the trip is plus drinks and food. Can’t beat that. They could not play dancing music due to covid but the boat ride was still fun! Imagine when they play poppin music next time!

    I had booked this experience due to the amount of great reviews but unfortunately we were left very disappointed and frustrated. Our holiday dates were moved due to a flight cancellation and I tried to change the date of our boat trip. The owner refused and denied a refund. We paid £90 and can’t get any of the money back. Disappointing as we were looking forward to this trip as our only excursion in Palma.
