Hen & Stag Boat Parties
Book on Viator →Operated by Faliraki Fun Club · Bookable on Viator
The best part of this private boat party in Faliraki is that your group gets a half-day on the water without having to arrange the food, drinks, swimming stops, or entertainment. You cruise to Anthony Quinn Bay, Kallithea Springs, and Faliraki Beach, with time for swimming, snorkeling, and a BBQ.
I like the easy party setup, especially the included lunch and drinks. I also like the small-group feel and the chance to swim in three different spots, including a cave near one of the bays. The main thing to check is the price: $752.44 is listed per group of up to one person, so confirm exactly how your party size is priced before paying.

Key points to know before booking

- Three swimming stops: Spend about an hour at Anthony Quinn Bay, 40 minutes at Kallithea Springs, and 40 minutes at Faliraki Beach.
- Private boat party: Only your group takes part, which makes the day easier for a hen or stag celebration.
- Food and drinks included: Lunch, BBQ food, fruit, snacks, aperitifs, and drinks are part of the experience.
- Host and bartender Mike: Mike handles the bar and helps keep the mood light while sharing information about the bays.
- About five hours on the water: The published meeting time is 2:30 pm, though morning, afternoon, and evening options are advertised.
- Weather matters: Poor conditions can lead to a different date or a full refund.
A private party on the Rhodes coast
This is a good choice if your group wants a party day with scenery, rather than a fixed restaurant meal or a crowded club night. The boat leaves from Faliraki Harbor and takes you along the coast for swimming, drinks, music or conversation, and a meal prepared during the outing.
The private format matters. You are not trying to keep up with strangers or fit a celebration around another group’s schedule. You can spend the day laughing with your own friends, taking turns in the water, and settling into the pace that suits your group.
The published price is $752.44 per group of up to one person, which needs a careful look before booking. Since this is a private activity, ask how the total changes for your full hen or stag party. For a larger group, the cost may be easier to justify when split among everyone, but the supplied pricing does not explain the exact calculation.
The experience is booked about 56 days ahead on average. That is a useful sign for planning: if your party dates are fixed, do not leave this until the final week. You should also confirm the departure option, since the details advertise morning, afternoon, or evening cruises while giving 2:30 pm as the listed start time.

Anthony Quinn Bay, your longest swim stop

The first stop is Anthony Quinn Bay, with about one hour set aside for swimming. That is the longest water stop, so it is the place where you have the most time to get in, cool off, and settle into the boat day.
The bay is known for striking coastal views and clear water. On this outing, you might use the stop for a relaxed swim, a little snorkeling, or simply a drink on board while the rest of your group plays in the water. The earlier comments about snorkeling and cave swimming suggest that the crew can point out interesting spots, but exact swimming conditions will depend on the day.
One hour sounds generous, but a party group can use it quickly. Allow time to get ready, enter the water, swim, and return to the boat before departure. If you want photos, take them early rather than waiting until the final minutes.
There is no separate admission charge for the stop. That does not mean the bay will feel private, since the wider coast can be popular, but your boat experience itself remains limited to your own group.
Kallithea Springs and the cave swim

The second stop is Kallithea Springs, also called Kallithea Spa in the schedule. You have about 40 minutes here for swimming.
This shorter stop gives the cruise a nice change of scene. Instead of spending the whole outing in one bay, you move along the coast and get another chance to swim. The group accounts also point to snorkeling around caves, so bring your curiosity and be ready for a more active water break.
Forty minutes is enough for a swim, but not enough for a slow, extended visit with lots of changing time. Keep your gear organized and listen for instructions about when to return to the boat. If your group includes people who do not want to swim, they can use the stop for views and conversation, though the exact onboard facilities are not specified.
Kallithea Springs may sound like a land-based sightseeing visit, but this schedule describes it as a swimming stop. You should not book this expecting a long tour of the springs themselves. The focus here is the water and the coast.
Faliraki Beach and the BBQ

The final stop is Faliraki Beach, where the BBQ takes place. You get about 40 minutes at this stop, combining the last swim with the main food break.
Having the meal included makes the party easier to manage. You do not need to find a beach restaurant, split a bill, or pull the group away from the water to search for lunch. Drinks and fruit are also included, and the food setup gives the outing a natural pause after the swimming stops.
The meal is described as a BBQ rather than a detailed menu. If anyone in your party has allergies, dietary restrictions, or strong food preferences, ask the provider what can be prepared before booking. The available details do not list dishes or special meal options.
The 40-minute timing may feel tight if your group wants a full meal, a beach swim, and photos all at once. Still, it keeps the outing moving and helps the party remain a boat cruise rather than turning into a long beach stop.
What the drinks and host add to the day

Drinks are not an afterthought here. You get drinks, fruit, snacks, and aperitifs as part of the experience, which is useful for a celebration where people want to raise a glass without bringing their own supplies.
Host and bartender Mike is specifically named in the information provided. He is described as welcoming, ready for a joke, and helpful with the bar. He also shares information about the bays, so the trip is not only about pouring drinks and keeping the party going.
That balance is valuable. A good boat party needs someone who can manage practical details while reading the mood of the group. You can expect a social host, but the exact entertainment style, music, and drink menu are not specified. If a particular playlist, cocktail selection, or party decoration matters to you, ask about it in advance.
The boat is described as clean, and fruit and drinks are called out as welcome extras. These are small details, but they matter on a five-hour outing. A clean boat and easy access to refreshments make the time on board more comfortable.
How the five-hour timing works

The experience lasts about five hours and returns to Faliraki Harbor, the same place where it begins. The advertised start time is 2:30 pm, making that schedule an afternoon-to-evening outing, but the description also says you can choose a morning, afternoon, or evening cruise.
Because those details do not line up perfectly, confirm your exact departure time with Faliraki Fun Club. This is especially important if you have dinner reservations, a nightlife plan, or transport arranged after the boat returns.
The three stops account for roughly two hours and 20 minutes in total:
- Anthony Quinn Bay: 60 minutes
- Kallithea Springs: 40 minutes
- Faliraki Beach: 40 minutes
The remaining time covers cruising, moving between bays, eating, and the party itself. That is a sensible rhythm for a half-day outing. You get enough time in the water to feel that swimming is central, but you are not stuck at one stop for the entire day.
Who will get the most from this boat party
I would recommend this for a hen or stag group that wants a private celebration with swimming built in. It suits people who like casual food, coastal views, drinks, and a little adventure more than formal sightseeing.
It also works well if nobody in the group wants to become the unpaid event planner. The provider handles the basic structure, and your group gets a ready-made route with food and drinks included.
This may be less suitable if:
- You want a quiet sightseeing cruise with little social activity.
- You need a precise food menu or confirmed dietary arrangements.
- You expect a large club-style party with a public crowd.
- You want a long visit at Kallithea Springs on land.
- You dislike swimming stops or are uncomfortable with changing conditions at sea.
The information says most people can take part, and service animals are allowed. The harbor is near public transportation. Still, the supplied details do not describe the boat’s steps, toilets, shade, or accessibility equipment, so ask direct questions if those features matter to your group.
Weather, cancellation, and practical planning
This experience depends on good weather. If poor conditions force a cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. That is reassuring, but you should keep some flexibility in your party schedule if possible.
You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Changes made less than 24 hours before departure are not accepted, and cancellations inside that window are not refunded. The cut-off follows local Rhodes time.
Bring the basics for a water day, but do not assume extra equipment is provided unless the operator confirms it. The details mention swimming and snorkeling, yet they do not list masks, towels, lockers, or changing facilities. Ask before departure if your group needs specific equipment.
Meet at Faliraki Harbor, Faliraki 851 00, Greece. The trip ends back at the same meeting point, so you do not need to arrange a separate return from another beach.
Is $752.44 good value?
The value depends almost entirely on the final group calculation. At first glance, $752.44 is a serious price for five hours, but this is a private party rather than a basic shared boat ride. The package includes the boat outing, three coastal stops, lunch or BBQ food, drinks, fruit, snacks, aperitifs, and a dedicated host.
For a group splitting the cost, the private format and included catering can make the price reasonable. You are paying for convenience as much as for time on the water. You avoid planning food, buying drinks, and coordinating a separate celebration activity.
But the published wording says the price is per group of up to one person. That is unusual for a hen or stag booking, which is why I would confirm the rate before making plans. Ask whether the amount covers the whole boat, how many people may join, and whether food and drinks are included for everyone.
Should you book the Faliraki Fun Club boat party?
Book it if you want an easy, private celebration with three swims, a BBQ, drinks, and a friendly host. The strongest features are the private setting, the range of stops, and the fact that someone else handles the basic party logistics.
Before booking, settle three points: the exact departure time, the full group price, and what is included in the BBQ and snorkeling setup. If those answers fit your budget and plans, this is a practical way to turn a hen or stag day into a coastal outing without assigning one friend the job of organizing everything.
