Review · BLUE LAGOON TOURS
Out to Sea Split Boat Party w/ Blue Lagoon Swim, Dj & Afterparty
The draw here is simple: spend an afternoon dancing on the Adriatic, jump in for a swim at the Blue Lagoon, then keep the night going with included nightclub entry. The boat can take up to 180 people, so expect a social, lively party rather than a quiet sightseeing cruise.
I like two things in particular: the Blue Lagoon swim stop gives you a refreshing break from the dancefloor, and the ticket bundles a live DJ, welcome shots, WiFi, hosts, and club access for $48.37. One consideration: drinks and snacks are extra, and the included nightclub may not be the venue you would choose on your own.
What to know before you book

- The party starts in the afternoon: Meet at 2 pm, so you can keep your morning free.
- There is a proper swim break: The cruise stops at the Blue Lagoon, a highlight for anyone who wants more than dancing and sea views.
- The boat can hold up to 180 people: Expect a crowd and a sociable atmosphere, not a small-group outing.
- The DJ is part of the main event: Music runs for the full cruise, with techno among the styles that may appeal to the crowd.
- Your ticket covers extras: Welcome shots, onboard WiFi, hosts, a photographer, and nightclub access are included.
- Budget for purchases onboard: Alcoholic drinks and snacks are not included, though the boat has two bars and a kitchen.
A six-hour party cruise, not a quiet boat tour

Out to Sea Split is built around music and meeting people. The boat leaves Split for an afternoon on the Adriatic, with a live DJ playing throughout and a top-deck dancefloor set against open-water views. There is also a swim stop at the Blue Lagoon and a scenic cruise back toward Split.
That mix matters. You can dance for much of the trip, but you are not locked into one activity: the swim gives you a chance to cool off and catch your breath. If you want a calm, commentary-led tour of the coast, this is the wrong boat. If you want a day party with a swim and a big social crowd, the plan is a better fit.
The cruise lasts about six hours, and the start time is 2 pm. That makes it easy to fit into a Split stay without an early alarm. It also means the party takes up a good part of your afternoon and early evening, so plan the rest of your day around it rather than trying to squeeze in another major outing.

Meeting up before the boat leaves

The outing includes a pre-party at the meeting point, then boards for the cruise. The exact meeting-point details should be checked in your booking confirmation. Confirmation is provided when you book, and the activity is offered in English.
The pre-party is useful if you are arriving on your own or want to start chatting before stepping onto a boat with a large group. Hosts are onboard to help keep people involved and attend to guests’ needs. That emphasis on hosting helps make the trip feel more organized than simply buying a ticket to a boat with a DJ.
Still, this is a group party, and the crowd shapes the mood. With room for up to 180 people, you may find it easy to meet others, but you should not expect a quiet or intimate setting. The strongest fit is someone who is comfortable in a busy, outgoing atmosphere. If you would rather sit back and watch the coastline in peace, this will probably feel like too much.
The top-deck dancefloor and live DJ
The DJ plays for the full duration, and the top deck is the focal point for dancing and sea views. This is the part of the cruise that gives the trip its identity: music, open air, and the feeling of being out on the water rather than in a packed club. The music has been described as techno-oriented, so fans of that sound may be especially pleased. The exact set will depend on the DJ.
A full boat can be a plus if you want a lively crowd and plenty of energy. It can also mean less room to spread out, especially when people gather around the dancefloor. Think of the capacity as a clue to the atmosphere, not just a number: this is a large party cruise, not a small vessel with a handful of other people.
The hosts, onboard WiFi, and photographer add practical touches. You can stay connected if you want to, and you do not have to organize every part of the group’s social side yourself. The photographer may capture moments from the day, though the information provided does not specify how photos are delivered or whether there is a fee. If getting photos matters to you, ask the operator before boarding.
The Blue Lagoon swim stop

The swim at the famous Blue Lagoon is the cruise’s main change of pace. After time on the dancefloor, you can get into the water and cool off before the return journey. For many people, this will be the most memorable part of the day: a chance to enjoy the Adriatic directly rather than only looking at it from the boat.
Bring your own swimwear and towel. Neither is included, and you will want both if you plan to swim. The stop is part of the ticket, but the cruise takes time to reach the lagoon, so do not expect to be in the water soon after departure. The length of the stop is not specified, which makes it hard to plan around a set amount of swimming time.
A practical tip: keep your swim gear easy to reach rather than buried under everything else. You will be glad to have it ready when the boat stops. The excursion is not described as a guided swimming activity, so treat it as a recreational break, and follow the crew’s instructions while you are in the water.

Returning to Split with the party still going

After the swim, the boat makes a scenic cruise back toward Split while the music and party continue. This return leg gives you another stretch of sea views and time with the group. The trip is promoted as including a sunset behind you on the way back, though the exact light will depend on the day and season.
That final cruise is a good reason to pace yourself. The outing lasts about six hours, and the party does not end at the swim stop. If you want to make it through the whole trip and still enjoy the nightclub afterward, take a break from dancing when you need one, drink water, and keep track of your belongings.
A photographer is onboard, and hosts are present throughout. Those details can help the day feel more looked after, but you remain responsible for your own valuables and personal limits. One person who attended described feeling safe as a young woman, and other comments praised the staff’s attention to safety. That is reassuring, though it is not a promise that every situation will suit every person.
Bars, food, and what your fare covers

At $48.37 per person, the price includes more than the boat ride. You get the Blue Lagoon swim stop, a live DJ, WiFi, onboard hosts, welcome shots, a pre-party, a panoramic cruise around Split, a photographer, and access to a Split nightclub. For a six-hour outing, that is a useful bundle, especially if you plan to make use of the swim and the club entry.
The fare does not include alcoholic beverages or snacks. There are two bars onboard, described as affordable, and a kitchen for food, but purchases add to your total. People have found the food cheap and the drinks reasonably priced, though drink prices have also been described as only okay. Budget for extras rather than assuming the ticket covers a full day of food and drinks.
The welcome shots are included, but they do not turn the ticket into an open bar. If you do not drink alcohol, the main value is still in the cruise, music, swim, and club access. If you do drink, decide how much you want to spend before you board. A party boat can make it easy to lose track of small purchases.
The nightclub pass: a bonus, not a guarantee of a big night

Free access to one of Split’s popular nightclubs is included, giving you the option to continue after the boat returns. That can be good value if you already plan to go out. It also removes the separate entry charge for that club, though it does not mean drinks inside are covered.
Keep your expectations flexible. The club is not named in the tour details, and the venue may not be especially busy on the night you go. If you care more about choosing a particular club than getting a bundled pass, treat this as a bonus rather than the main reason to book. You can still enjoy the boat party without staying out afterward.
The nightclub access also makes the outing a long social day. You may be ready to call it a night after six hours on the water, especially if you have been dancing and swimming. There is no need to treat the club pass as an obligation.
Who will get the most from this cruise

This is a strong match for outgoing adults who want music, a crowd, and a swim in one afternoon. It can work especially well if you are travelling with friends, but the pre-party and hosts offer ways to join in if you arrive on your own. The mix of dancing and swimming also makes it more varied than spending the whole afternoon in a bar.
It is less suited to anyone seeking a quiet coastal tour, a small group, or a detailed introduction to Split. The focus is entertainment, not sightseeing commentary. The boat is large, the DJ is central, and the atmosphere depends in part on the people onboard that day.
Most people can participate, service animals are allowed, and the meeting point is near public transportation. The details provided do not explain the boat’s step-free access or other mobility arrangements, so contact the operator if you need specific access information. The activity requires good weather and a minimum number of participants. If it is canceled for weather or because the minimum is not met, you will be offered another date or a refund.
Should you book the Out to Sea Split Boat Party?
Book it if you want a social afternoon with a live DJ, a Blue Lagoon swim, and a chance to keep partying after the boat returns. The $48.37 fare covers several useful extras, and the combination of a swim stop and a top-deck dancefloor gives the six hours a clear rhythm.
Skip it if you want a peaceful cruise, dislike crowds, or need a named nightclub and a guaranteed club atmosphere. Bring swimwear and a towel, set aside money for food and drinks, and think of the club entry as an optional extra. If that sounds like your kind of Split day, this is an appealing way to trade a quiet afternoon for music, sea air, and a swim.
