Boat Party with Swimming Stop Experience in Mykonos
Mykonos nightlife, but on the water. This boat party turns the usual club crawl into a sunset-to-night sail with DJ sets, an open bar, and a swim stop near Rhenia Island. It’s a simple plan: meet at Mykonos Old Port, cruise for a few hours, then head back without getting stuck in late-night transport.
Two things I like right away: the mix of party energy plus real time outside on the water, and the fact that your drinks are handled. You get an unlimited open bar with premium options like flavored mojitos, beer, and sangría, plus bottled water and soda.
One thing to weigh: the vibe can skew young and loud. With a max group size of 150 and DJ-led pacing, it’s best if you’re into a late-night atmosphere rather than a calmer boat ride.

Key Highlights You’ll Actually Feel

- Double-decker layout for better sea views while you move from sunset to night
- Live DJ sets that keep the party rolling across the full 4-hour stretch
- Unlimited open bar including flavored mojitos, beer, and sangría
- Rhenia Island swim stop with inflatables and snorkeling gear available
- Sunset + coastline lights as the visual payoff before the dancing starts
- No meal included (plan food around that) since the focus is drinks and the swim stop
Mykonos on a Double-Decker Boat: Why This Works

If you’re going to Mykonos anyway, you know the rhythm: walk, eat, stumble onto a beach, then find yourself back out under lights. This kind of trip works because it swaps the grind of club-hopping for one pre-planned evening. You don’t have to chase venues. You just show up, get on board, and the atmosphere builds as the sun drops.
The double-decker part matters more than you might think. It’s easier to find a good spot for the view when you’re not all squeezed at one level. And because the boat stays moving through the evening, you get changing scenery—first the horizon, then the coastline glow.
Also, the tour is short enough to fit into a full day. At around 4 hours, you’re not surrendering your entire night. It’s a “main event” slot, not a whole-day commitment.
Chasing the gold hour? More sunset cruises and boat parties
Price and What You’re Getting for $114.52
At about $114.52 per person for roughly 4 hours, the value lives or dies on two things: drinks and the swim stop experience.
Here’s what you’re paying for:
- An unlimited open bar with premium brands (flavored mojitos, beer, sangría)
- Bottled water and soda/pop
- Inflatables plus snorkeling gear
- A DJ and the sunset cruise vibe
That’s a lot included for one set start time (5:00 pm) and a single meeting point. In Mykonos, if you’re already planning to spend on drinks anyway, this can feel like the “get it out of the way” option—especially if you want the party scene without paying for multiple overpriced stops.
The one cost to plan for is food. There’s nothing about a full meal listed in what’s included. So if you roll straight from dinner-less late afternoon, you might feel the gap once the energy ramps up.
From Delos Tours at Mykonos Old Port to Your Evening at Sea

The tour starts at Delos Tours, Mykonos Old Port with a ticket redemption point at the same location. Departure is 5:00 pm, and the activity ends back at the meeting point. That round-trip matters in Mykonos, where getting around late can become its own mini-adventure.
What I’d do if you’re aiming for an easy start: arrive early enough to find the right check-in line and get situated before boarding crowds build. The tour allows a maximum of 150 travelers, which means you’ll likely be sharing space with a lively group, not a small and quiet crew.
Also, there’s no private transportation included. If you’re coming from somewhere far from Old Port, build that into your schedule. Since the tour is weather-dependent, it’s smart to keep your evening flexible and not lock in a super-tight transfer plan.
The First Half: Sunset Cruise, Drinks, and a Swim Stop Near Rhenia

The evening is built in layers. First you get sailing time with the sunset setting up the mood. Drinks keep your hands busy and your mood steady—especially as the daylight fades and the coastline starts to sparkle.
Then you hit the highlight stop: the water near Rhenia Island. This is where the experience stops being just a party boat and becomes something more active.
You can choose your version of the stop:
- Swim off the boat and relax in open water
- Use inflatables if you want to float without committing to long swims
- Use the provided snorkeling gear to explore underwater
If you’re not a “swim-only” person, inflatables are a big deal. They let you hang out in the water without turning it into a workout. If you do want to snorkel, it’s useful that gear is provided—you don’t have to carry your kit or pay extra for rentals.
Possible drawback: this is a party-focused boat, so the water stop may feel like one piece of a larger timeline rather than a long exploration. With a total duration of about 4 hours, you should treat the swim stop as a fun break, not a dedicated half-day water adventure.
What the DJ + Open Bar Actually Changes About Your Evening

A lot of boat parties sound the same in marketing. This one has a clear engine: live DJ sets plus an unlimited open bar.
That combo does two things:
- It keeps the energy consistent. Instead of waiting for someone to start the music, you get continuous momentum.
- It changes how long the “good time” lasts. You don’t have to time your night around bartenders or lines.
On this sail, you’re not limited to one drink type either. Flavored mojitos, beer, and sangría are specifically listed. Plus you get bottled water and soda/pop, which matters if you’re balancing the fun with staying comfortable in the salt-air heat.
My practical advice: pace yourself early. It’s tempting to go hard right at boarding, but the sunset portion is when photos and views are most rewarding. If you want to enjoy the coastline lights later, save some energy and keep your head clear.

Inflatables and Snorkeling Gear: How to Make the Water Stop Better

The water stop is where this tour earns its ticket. You’re not just looking at the sea; you’re in it.
Since inflatables and snorkeling gear are included, your main job is getting yourself ready:
- Wear swimwear you don’t mind getting splashed in
- Bring something to protect your phone or keys from spray (a small waterproof pouch helps)
- If you have your own swim mask, you can bring it—but you don’t have to for this experience
If you’re prone to seasickness, plan accordingly. The provided information says the experience requires good weather, which usually means conditions are better than average, but it doesn’t guarantee calm seas. You’ll want to be smart about your comfort before you start mixing drinks and movement.
One more reality check: this is a shared party boat, so the vibe in the water can be lively. If you want quiet snorkeling alone with nature, you might not get that. If you want fun, easy floating, and a quick look underwater, it fits well.
Group Size and the Vibe: Who This Is Best For

The experience caps at 150 travelers, and the DJ-led party format suggests a youthful, social atmosphere. One thing that shows up clearly in the reviews is that this can feel like a teenage-leaning party scene. If you’re in the 18–25 range, that kind of vibe may land perfectly. If you’re older and want something more grown-up, it’s a consideration.
Here’s who I think it suits best:
- You want a party at sea without planning your own boat
- You’re happy meeting people and following a scheduled timeline
- You want a sunset view + drinks + swim stop in one package
- You like DJs more than you like quiet conversation
If you’re the type who likes slow travel, long snorkeling sessions, or a calmer group, you may feel irritated by the noise and energy. In that case, you might be happier with a quieter day trip or a different kind of water activity.
Food Reality: What to Do Before You Board

Open bar is included, but food isn’t clearly part of the deal. Some people describe a minimal snack setup rather than a real meal. Since that isn’t something you can count on, I’d treat this as a drinks-and-swim experience first.
So do this:
- Eat a real meal before you get on the boat
- If you’re snacky, keep that in mind and don’t assume the boat will solve your hunger
That way, you can focus on the sunset, the DJ, and the water stop without waiting around for food that may not show up the way you want.
Timing Tips for the Best Photos and Best Fun
This tour runs about 4 hours, starting 5:00 pm. That means:
- Boarding happens during the late-afternoon lead-in to sunset
- Your best light for the view is likely early in the experience
- The party likely peaks as night fully arrives
To get the most from it, I’d plan your day so you’re not rushing. If you’re coming from beach time, give yourself a small buffer to shower off salt and change. You’ll feel better, and you’ll enjoy the evening more.
Also, since the tour ends back at the Old Port, you can plan the rest of your night nearby. You’re not forced into an immediate long ride home right after getting off the boat.
