Throwback Series: 90s vs 00s – The Boat Battle
A three-hour sunset party on Weymouth Bay where 90s and 00s hits battle while DJ Steve Mullins keeps the decks hot. Bring layers, dress up, and sip the signature Throwback Sunset Punch as the sun drops over the bay.
On a three-hour sunset cruise across Weymouth Bay, Throwback Series: 90s vs 00s – The Boat Battle transforms the harbor into a floating dance floor, where two decades go head-to-head and DJ Steve Mullins spins nonstop anthems. Based at coastal vibes cruises in Weymouth, England, this 18+ event is a three-hour party that pairs sunset views with Britpop, R&B and early-00s club hits. Expect pulsing decks, a licensed bar, and a welcome Throwback Sunset Punch served on boarding.
The route traces the curve of Weymouth Bay, offering open deck sightlines and a clear view of the seafront skyline. Key features include wind-scoured coastal rock, shingle fringe, and a broad horizon that sharpens colour at sunset. Onboard the music becomes the event’s landscape: Britpop guitars counterpoint to noughties club hooks, while the crowd chooses a side with themed fancy dress.
Weymouth Gifts & Fancy Dress offers 15% off to help outfit choices. What makes this boat special for the local scene is the collision of coastal character and pop culture. Weymouth has a long history of seaside festivals and harbour gatherings, and this cruise retools that tradition into a contemporary music event that is wheelchair accessible and social rather than athletic, making it approachable for visitors staying in Weymouth or nearby Portland.
