About this Experience

What you'll do:

Step aboard a private yacht, luxury pontoon, or tiki boat and spend the day cruising 30A and Panama City.

  • Choose Your Boat - Pick from yachts, double-decker pontoons with slides, or a 36-foot tiki boat with a full bar down the center.

  • Cruise to Crab Island - Anchor at the sandbar that's become the Panhandle's go-to spot for swimming, floating, and soaking up the day.

  • Explore the Gulf and Intercoastal Waterway - Take in the coastline around 30A and Panama City with a captain and crew who know these waters.

  • Bring Your Own Drinks and Music - Set the tone with your own playlist and coolers on board.

  • Customize Your Time on the Water - Book a 4- to 9-hour charter depending on your group's plans for the day.

Whether it's a slow float on the sandbar or a full day cruising the coast, the day moves at your group's pace, with the boat, the route, and the vibe built around what your crew actually wants.

Why we love it for your group:

  • Full Fleet of Boats - From a 115-foot yacht to a tiki boat with a bar, there's a boat for every group size and budget.

  • Captain and Crew Included - Every charter comes with an experienced captain and crew, so no one in your group needs a boating license.

  • Room for Up to 18 Guests - The tiki boat option comfortably fits larger groups without splitting up your party.

  • Built for Bachelorette Parties - With over 500 bachelorette charters booked a year, the crew knows how to make the day easy and fun.

  • Multiple Pickup Locations - Departures available from Panama City and 30A, so you can book near where you're staying.
