A cozy review of the Barcelona Halloween Boat Party Monster Ball Edition
If you’re thinking about celebrating Halloween in Barcelona in a way that’s a little different from your usual costume parties, this boat party might catch your eye. We’ve looked into the Halloween & Day of the Dead-themed Gaga Monster Ball cruise, and it seems like a fun way to combine a lively night on the water with a themed dance party — all set against the stunning backdrop of Barcelona’s skyline.
What really draws us in are two main things: first, the fact that this is a fully decked-out double-decker catamaran that turns into a spooky party vessel, and second, the high-energy DJ spinning Lady Gaga hits alongside Halloween classics. It’s not every day you get to dance under the stars with such a unique vibe. That said, one potential downside is the costumes are a must, so if you’re not into dressing up, this might not be your ideal party. Still, if you enjoy themed events, this one’s likely a memorable experience. This tour is perfect for anyone looking for a lively, themed night out, especially those who love music, parties on the water, or just want to do something different for Halloween.
Key Points
- Unique setting: Two-hour sunset cruise on a decorated double-decker catamaran with skyline views.
- Themed experience: Halloween plus Day of the Dead vibes, with costumes or masks required.
- Music and atmosphere: DJ spins Gaga hits plus Halloween classics, keeping the energy high.
- Inclusive perks: Four drinks included, adding to the relaxed, party vibe.
- Post-cruise fun: After the boat, there’s a rooftop after-party to keep dancing late into the night.
- Host language options: English, French, and Spanish speakers available, making it accessible for many travelers.
Setting sail into a spooky, musical night
When we think about how to really enjoy Barcelona’s nightlife, a sunset cruise with a twist sounds just right. This Monster Ball Edition promises all that and more. Starting at The Coconut Club, you’ll meet up with the Stoke Travel team (look for the giant goldfish on the terrace) before heading out onto the water. The boat itself is decked out with spooky decorations, transforming what could be a regular cruise into an immersive Halloween experience.
The two-hour sunset sailing offers spectacular views of Barcelona’s skyline as the sun dips, casting warm hues over the city. It’s a great chance to snap some photos — and trust us, the backdrop with the twinkling city lights is pretty spectacular. The boat is a double-decker, so there’s plenty of space to dance, socialize, and soak in the atmosphere.

What’s included and what to prepare for
You’ll get entry to the cruise, which lasts about two hours, along with a live DJ set playing Lady Gaga’s biggest hits mixed with Halloween classics. The music is a key part of the experience, and the DJ keeps the energy up, making it easy to get lost in the rhythm. Plus, the four drinks included on board help loosen up the crowd and make the night more relaxed.
Everyone is expected to wear a costume or mask, which really adds to the fun and makes it feel like a true Monster Ball. If you don’t have one, you might want to get creative or pick something up before the event. No smoking or jumping allowed, so the focus stays on the party and safety.
The itinerary in detail
- Start at The Coconut Club: a familiar meeting point to assemble your group, chat with fellow travelers, and get into the Halloween spirit.
- Board the catamaran: fully decorated, with spooky touches that set the scene.
- Cruise for about 2 hours: as you sail, you’ll enjoy dramatic views of Barcelona’s skyline, with the music providing the soundtrack to your sunset spectacle.
- Docking and after-party: once back, the celebration continues on a rooftop space, where dancing under the stars is encouraged.
The experience from reviews
One review mentions, “The DJ was fantastic, and the atmosphere really made it feel like a true Monster Ball. The sunset views are worth the price alone.” Others appreciated the “great mix of Gaga hits and Halloween tunes,” which kept everyone dancing. The included drinks are a bonus, giving everyone a chance to mingle and relax.
However, some note that costumes are mandatory, so if you’re not into dressing up, you may find it less enjoyable. Also, the price point of $75 per person is fair considering the drinks and the unique experience, but for budget travelers, it’s something to plan around.
