One stage, multiple dance floors and the western Algarve composing the scene. That was how, through the hands of SeaBookings, in 2020, Lagos (Portugal) plunged into the first edition of the Algarve Boat Festival. The idea was born to be able to party in times of pandemic but the concept has proven to work without face masks too! This unique concept of multiple private parties, together, for a single show, like a drive-in festival instead of a cinema where the cars are boats.
In its previous editions, the Algarve Boat Festival sold out, with more than 30 boats that anchored around the stage-boat in front of the emblematic Praia Dona Ana. Festival-goers joined on their own boat, whether theirs or rented.
Join your tribe, pick a boat and come dance at the coolest dancefloor – a boat!
Join the event on your boat, whether yours or rented, be it a motor boat or sail yacht. The boats will meet Saturday August 26th at 15:30, in front of Praia Dona Ana, in Lagos. The festival will last for about 3 hours. We’ll have dozens of boats at the launch of this event, but we have a very limited capacity.
Festival boats will anchor around the stage boat, allowing several private parties together, for one single show! Time to enjoy a live DJ, outdoors and feel the energy of the crowd. Whoever is unable to be physically present, can join virtually, via streaming!
