Described by the sellers as ‘Spain’s biggest disco ship’, the VIP nightclub Trimaran is listed as being in ’as new’ condition, and priced at a cool 3,200,000€.
Sharp eyed Ibiza folk will recognise the now Barcelona based boat as one and the same vessel that promised to herald a revolution in the Ibiza party boat scene back in 2015.
The ‘new era’ of super yacht parties (see flyer bellow) were being sold for between 70€ and 200€ according to the level of VIP-ness sought, and were within weeks of launch when the plug was pulled and the service declared inoperable by promoters who cited Ibiza politics as the reason for their sudden demise.
We came across the for-sale listing in the unlikely location of Facebook’s marketplace among the dross of broken furniture and dubious origin tracksuits.
Though still presented as a floating VIP club, some of the listing photos of anorak wearing average Joe Public squeezed in for their Chicken dinner suggest the boat may have been earning its keep in the provision of less salubrious services than originally envisaged.
If you have a spare 3.2 million kicking about, and are brave or foolhardy enough to want to take on one of Ibiza’s established tourism business sectors, perhaps you could be the one to rescue the boat from its ignominy of suffering the proletariat traipsing all over its polished teak decks.
Below the gallery you will find the technical details for interested parties, and one or two alternative suggestions for your boat buying budget ….

Alternatives?
By now Facebook’s marketplace had us a little distracted, so we took a look around for alternatives on which to blow your Balearic boat buying budget.
You could nab yourself a proper pirate galleon, argh, me hearties. Priced at 250,000€ the boat has a licencing capacity of one hundred and odd people, around a third of the super-yacht Exodus, but at a thirteenth of its price, in economic terms it may well be a better bet for your doubloons.
Better still, how about something reflecting the perfect pace of a life that is becoming ever more familiar. This traditional Llaut will have you pootling around the Pitiuses shores for just 4,500€. Bargain.
