What you'll do:

Day Cruises for Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties

Celebrate your milestone event on the water with a premier day cruise designed for groups of up to 12 guests. Whether you are looking for a high-energy "party at the sandbar" vibe or a sophisticated afternoon of sunbathing and skyline views, these private charters offer the perfect backdrop for your celebration. Each outing is tailored to your group’s needs, providing plenty of space to lounge, dance, and toast to the guest of honor. With professional crews handling the navigation, your only responsibility is to enjoy the music, the drinks, and the company of your closest friends.

Fireworks Cruise Options

Experience the magic of the city lights and pyrotechnics with our specialized fireworks cruises, available every Wednesday and Saturday night. There is no better way to view the seasonal displays than from the deck of a private vessel, away from the crowded shorelines. These evening charters offer a front-row seat to the choreographed shows, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for a night out. It is a spectacular way to cap off a celebration or simply enjoy a mid-week or weekend excursion with a view that only the open water can provide.

Mid-Week Reservation Discounts

For those looking to maximize their experience while being mindful of the budget, we offer exclusive discounted rates for boat and yacht reservations from Monday through Thursday. Booking during the week allows you to enjoy the same luxury amenities and world-class service at a more accessible price point. Not only is it a more cost-effective option, but mid-week charters often benefit from less traffic on the water, ensuring a more private and serene experience for you and your guests. It’s the ideal way to secure a premium vessel for a weekday retreat or an extended celebration.

Why we love it for your party:

• Cooler Filled with Ice & Water: We provide a large cooler fully stocked with fresh ice and complimentary bottled water to keep your group hydrated and your favorite beverages chilled throughout the entire trip.

• Water Toys & Floating Accessories: Take your party from the deck to the water with our included collection of water toys, featuring a large floating pad for lounging and colorful noodles for easy swimming at The Playpen.

• Wireless Bluetooth & Sirius XM: Set the perfect mood with our premium sound system, allowing you to stream your own playlists via Bluetooth or choose from a vast selection of commercial-free music through Sirius XM.

• Personalized Experience
