Hotels near Pukka Up

Pukka Up has been running boat parties off San Antonio for over two decades, which makes it about as close to an institution as this scene gets. The sunset sailings are the signature - you board on the west coast as the afternoon cools, with DJs, dancers and a crowd in full party mode while the sky puts on a show over the strip.

There are typically sunset cruises midweek and an afternoon party at the weekend, and tickets often pair with upgraded entry to a big partner day club afterwards, so the boat becomes the warm-up rather than the whole night. Expect a commercial, crowd-pleasing soundtrack and a sociable, up-for-it crowd rather than a quiet sightseeing trip.

Pro Tip: Book a sunset sailing if it is your first one - the light is the whole point - and check which partner club your ticket links to so you can plan the rest of the night around it rather than scrambling at the harbour.
