Boat party in Malta
The Mega Boat Party and the White Boat Party, Malta's summer parties at sea: where they leave from, times, tickets and what to wear.

A boat party in Malta is a night at sea with an open bar, departing from Sliema Ferries. In 2026, two series shared the summer, sailing from 7pm to 11:30pm between 30 June and 29 August: the Mega Boat Party, with a swim stop when the weather allows, and the White Boat Party, where everyone wears white. Both return in summer 2027, with no dates or tickets yet.

In depth
Boat party
The Mega Boat Party: open bar, two dance floors and a swim
Two decks, two dance floors with different vibes, Maltese and international DJs, and an open bar included in the ticket, although what it covers may vary from one edition to the next. When the sea and the weather allow, the boat stops for a swim.
In 2026: twelve sailings from 30 June to 25 August, on six Tuesdays, three Wednesdays and three Saturdays, from 7pm to 11:30pm. An end-of-summer edition was added on a single date, Saturday 5 September. No dress code or minimum age has been published.
The White Boat Party: all in white, at sea
Same formula, one extra rule: you have to be dressed in white to board. Open bar, two dance floors over two decks, and a departure the official page describes as a sunset sail. The 2026 poster advertised a boat for 400 people.
In 2026: twelve sailings from 4 July to 29 August, on six Saturdays, three Mondays and three Fridays, from 7pm to 11:30pm.
Boarding at Sliema Ferries, and getting back
Be at Sliema Ferries at least 30 minutes before departure: the exact meeting-point instructions are sent after booking and may change depending on the date. Bring original photo ID.
In your bag: swimwear and a towel for the Mega Boat Party, a white outfit for the White Boat Party, and shoes with a good grip for dancing on deck.
The boat is back at the quay at 11:30pm, just as the clubs in Paceville open. The Ferries stop is served by the N13, the night bus that runs every night between Valletta and St Julian's, with departures from Valletta from 11:10pm to 2:10am, at €3 a journey; Bolt, Uber and eCabs also operate in Malta.
All in white, on dry land too
The White Boat Party wasn't the only white party of summer 2026: The White Party on the rooftop at Infinity by Hugo's on Mondays, the TwentyTwo White Party on Wednesday nights, the White Party at Toy Room Beach Club during the day on Wednesdays, and the White Party Marrakech at Gianpula Village on Fridays. The dress code isn't the same everywhere: the White party page has the details.
