Frequently Asked Questions for Party Cruise in Cancun: DJ, Sandbar Party & Open Unlimited Bar

Question 1

Is this cruise really as wild as it sounds?

Accepted Answer

Hell yes! This isn't your grandma's sunset cruise – we're talking about a legitimate floating party with a live DJ, unlimited drinks, and 100 people ready to rage. The energy is absolutely insane from the moment you board until we dock back. Think of it as a club that happens to be on the most beautiful water you've ever seen. The vibe is pure party mode, so if you're looking for a chill boat ride, this ain't it!

Question 2

What kind of music does the DJ play?

Accepted Answer

Our DJs know exactly what gets the crowd moving! They're spinning everything from reggaeton hits that'll have you perreo-ing all afternoon, to hip-hop bangers, Latin trap, EDM drops, and whatever else is trending on TikTok. The best part? You can totally request songs! The DJ reads the crowd and adjusts the vibe – so whether your crew is into Bad Bunny, Drake, or David Guetta, they've got you covered.

Question 3

How "unlimited" is the open bar really?

Accepted Answer

When we say unlimited, we mean UNLIMITED! No wristband BS, no drink tickets, no "only beer and wine" nonsense. You get access to the full national bar – tequila, vodka, rum, beer, mixed drinks, plus bottles of sparkling wine. The bartenders are pros at making strong drinks too. Just remember to pace yourself because four hours of unlimited drinks under the Cancun sun hits different!

Question 4

Can I bring my own alcohol or snacks?

Accepted Answer

Nah, you can't bring your own bottles (trust us, you won't need to with the open bar). The boat provides snacks during the cruise, but if you're thinking about bringing some chips or candy to munch on, the crew is usually cool with that. Just don't try to sneak in a whole cooler – they check bags at boarding.

Question 5

What happens at the sandbar stop?

Accepted Answer

This is where things get EPIC! The boat anchors at this incredible shallow area where the water is crystal clear and only waist-deep. Everyone jumps in, drinks, and it becomes this massive water party. Picture dancing in the Caribbean Sea with your squad while the DJ keeps the music pumping from the boat. It's literally like a pool party in the middle of the ocean!

Question 6

Do I really need to know how to swim?

Accepted Answer

Not really! At the sandbar, the water is super shallow (like 3-4 feet), and they have life vests available if you want one. Plus, there's the floating mat where you can chill without even getting in the water. The crew is trained in water safety and keeps an eye on everyone. Just let them know if you're not comfortable in water – no judgment, they want everyone to have fun safely!

Question 7

What should I actually wear?

Accepted Answer

Your hottest swimsuit is the move! Most people rock their bikinis/swim trunks with maybe a cover-up or tank top for the boat ride. Ladies, leave the heels at home – this boat gets wet and wild. Flip flops or water shoes are perfect. Guys, board shorts and maybe a tank. Everyone ends up in their swimsuits anyway once the party gets going. Oh, and sunglasses are a MUST unless you want to squint in all your pics!

Question 8

Is this cruise good for bachelor/bachelorette parties?

Accepted Answer

Are you kidding? This is PERFECT for bach parties! We see groups celebrating every single cruise. The crew loves hyping up the bride/groom-to-be, the DJ will give shoutouts, and with 100 people on board, your whole squad can come. Pro tip: coordinate matching swimsuits or temporary tattoos for your group – those pics go absolutely viral!

Question 9

What if it rains?

Accepted Answer

Unless there's an actual storm (like lightning and dangerous winds), the party doesn't stop! A little rain in Cancun is actually refreshing when you're dancing. Most people say getting caught in warm rain while partying on a boat is a vibe. Only serious weather cancels the cruise, and in that case, you get a full refund or can reschedule.

Question 10

How early should I really arrive?

Accepted Answer

Real talk – show up 30 minutes before departure time. Here's why: check-in takes a minute, the best spots on the boat fill up fast (everyone wants to be near the DJ or the bar), and they leave ON TIME. Nothing worse than watching your crew's Instagram stories from the dock because you were late. Plus, pre-gaming while waiting to board sets the mood right!

Question 11

Can we smoke/vape on the boat?

Accepted Answer

Vaping is usually chill as long as you're not blowing clouds in people's faces. As for other stuff... look, this is Mexico and it's a party boat, but be smart about it. The crew has to follow maritime laws, so don't put them in a weird position.

Question 12

How messy do people actually get?

Accepted Answer

Look, with 100 people and unlimited drinks for 4 hours, some folks definitely get turnt! The crew is used to it and handles situations professionally. They'll cut someone off if needed, and there's always water and snacks to help pace yourself. Most people are just there to have a good time. If someone in your group tends to go too hard, maybe designate a friend to keep an eye on them.

Question 13

Is the snorkeling actually worth it?

Accepted Answer

Honestly? Most people are too busy partying to snorkel much, but if you do grab the gear, the water is incredible! You might see some tropical fish. It's more of a "cool option to have" than a main attraction. Some people love taking underwater pics with the equipment though!

Question 14

What about photos and videos?

Accepted Answer

Your phone is your best friend here (in a waterproof case!). The lighting is insane for photos – golden hour hits different on the water. Just remember: whatever happens on the booze cruise WILL end up on someone's Instagram story, so party accordingly!

Question 15

How do we book for a large group?

Accepted Answer

For groups of 15+, definitely reach out directly to reserve your spots together. They can sometimes arrange group discounts or ensure your whole squad is on the same departure. During Spring Break or peak season, these cruises sell out FAST, so don't wait until the last minute. Nothing worse than half your group getting on one cruise and half on another!

Question 16

Is 18 really the age limit, or can my 17-year-old sibling slide?

Accepted Answer

They're strict about this – 18+ only with valid ID. No exceptions. They check IDs at check-in, and trying to sneak someone underage on board will get your whole group kicked off without a refund. If you have younger people in your Cancun crew, maybe plan this for a day when they're doing something else.

Question 17

What's the move for tips?

Accepted Answer

The crew works their asses off to make sure everyone has an amazing time, so definitely bring cash for tips. Think $5-10 USD per person in your group as a starting point, more if the service is fire (which it usually is). Tip the bartenders, the DJ if they killed it, and the crew members who help at the sandbar. They remember good tippers for next time too!
