Rum & Ray Bans - what it's actually like on a Boat Party...

Most of us have seen the movie, or at least have heard about it...

Yes, I'm talking about "The Inbetweeners movie". The sudden thought of the 4 inbetweeners from the UK, spreading their wings on their first "lads" holiday to Malia to create their hilarious film and adaptation of a group holiday abroad.


The thought sprung to mind when a bronzed young guy approached us whilst we shopped for Greek goods at the tourist markets in Zante. Will the boat party really be as wild and vile as we thought? Will there be naked people running about, highly intoxicated and soaking wet from skinny diving off the boat? Oh, yes. I was totally right.

We bought the tickets, blissfully unaware of the laughter upon us. The sights we would see and the activities we would gather to watch people endure. We were in for a holiday finale treat.

So, quite like the 4 guys, we also started the day off with extra cocktails before we headed down to the bar. We were told to pick a reps team, blue or green. We chose blue. I clearly remember my reps left nipple hanging out of his tiny vest and his hungover eyes, he really was the ultimate rep figure.


We arrived, surrounded by holiday makers and roaring party animals who were on their last days, or had just begun their holiday. 2 for 1 cocktails, you can't go wrong. The coaches arrived and we all packed on. Bikinis, swimming shorts and barely there clothing, I almost stuck to the seat it was that hot and sticky. Singing, drunkenness and loud laughter surrounded the coach.

The boat was absolutely huge. In my experience, I've only ever been on 1 or 2 boats in my lifetime, so I was pretty excited to be boarding a party boat full of music and cool air... especially for the cool air... h o t, h o t, h o t.

The beast itself.

This picture was actually a group photo of the day we attended Rum and Raybans! You can't see us, but we were definitely there somewhere. Before we got on, we got painted in our colours. Our colour was blue. We had our photos taken, everybody gathered near the entrance and we finally boarded. Here we gooo!

Fanny packs/bum bags at the ready, we were set to rock the boat.

The sun shone upon us, the good music started and the spokesman made us giggle the whole way out to sea. Everybody seemed to be having a good time. I'd not seen any nakedness or diving, just yet... was this it? Are the tales untrue? Drinks flowing, chilling out on the top deck of this mahoosive boat with my favourite girls, cold breeze... lovely.

Next came the shots. We had been informed that there would be "free drinks" all night, but we were too excited to find out what they actually were. Next thing we knew, a girl armed with water pistols filled with vodka and another rep armed with a bottle of vodka appeared on top deck. The shots were out of control! 

Trying to catch the vodka in your mouth was pretty difficult. I mean, we were on a boat, boats can rock and a water pistol... it was hilarious. I for one hate the taste of vodka straight but I thought I'd man up. Each one of us took a free shot, and before we knew it, 2 or 3 more reps had circled around the boat and we were up on our 5th or 6th shot.



The sun was setting in the back ground, the spokesman was still cracking jokes. People had been going up to the front of the boat to tell him of stories about their friends. Some of the stories are enough to scar you for life... Individually picking out the victims, the stories kept coming.

I'll let you in on one of my favourites - Story 1
So obviously, as were we in a party capital, there was going to be a few rude remarks at minimum. A boy had "pulled" a girl, took her back to his hotel and the fun started. However, he was so ultimately pissed, he took a poo at the same time! How is that even possible?

Ok, ok, another one... Story 2
A girl had been doing the same kind of thing. She had found a boy she liked, took him to the nearest BUSH and the crazy events happened again... However, a slightly different outcome occurred. The girl woke up in the morning, only to find out she had a splinter... in her private parts!!!

The darker evening arose, we arrived at the caves and the skinny dipping and jumping began. Bodies flying off the boat, from all directions! A girl had lost her bikini bottoms, so the spokesman wasn't shy to announce this to the whole boat. A kind boy jumped in and quite frankly saved her modesty by handing over his trunks. Wet bodies everywhere, I was pretty drunk by this point, we all were. (I blame the water pistol lady.)



As the darkness took over the pretty sunset, the games began. The moment most had been waiting for. What kind of games would they play? Would they pick me and make me do it?

I had met a friend from home on the boat. He had hurt his leg in the first week he'd arrived in Zante, so he was sectioned off at the front of the boat. To my advantage, myself and Jazz were aloud to this section. We could see everything so clearly and we finally got some sea breeze to cool us down!! Also, I was able to snap the sunset as the night came alive...


Myself and Jazz had split with Lauren and Keeley, as they needed a bathroom break. The whole content of the boat gathered to the spokesman. The games had begun. He chose 4 people from each team, 4 from blue and 4 from green. Of course, it was 2 girls and 2 boys from each. I can't quite remember the games names, probably due to the intoxication. Oops.

We had front row view from being at the sectioned off area, we could see a lot more than rated. One of the games involved the girls dirty dancing on the boys. Whoever could be the sexiest and wildest got the point... cheers roared and rocked the boat, come on blues!

Another game involved Vodka being poured over the girl whilst the boys had to lick up as much as possible. Of course, the vodka wasn't just poured over their arms or legs... oh no, it was poured in all types of nooks and crannies. Frightening.

One of the contenders just so happened to be from my friends group. A boy from his group was on the opposite team, he stripped naked and let the world see every last detail. The games carried on, the spokesman loving the nudity and 18 rated porn infront of our eyes. It was truly a peculiar moment to be alive in the world.

As the games carried on into the night, the laughter got louder and the points added up. It turns out we had one!!! The blues had won! The boat drifted back to the shore, managing to do so with none of us realizing and we made our way back to the main city.



We had survived the boat, the drinks and the games. Dancing on the deck of the huge boat, very drunk and very merry. What an crazy but fantastic time we had. Yes, we seen more than bargained for and explicit content of some young person(s) genitalia, but the day had been one to remember and we were set to sit the town for our last night.

Anybody who gets the chance - Rum & Raybans is a must!!!
