About this Experience
What you'll do:
You and your group board a private boat and spend two hours cruising Tampa Bay's Intracoastal Waterway, pulling up to the area's best waterfront bars without ever dealing with traffic, parking, or a cover charge line.
Board your private charter – Meet your captain dockside and get settled into your own vessel, no strangers, no shared space, just your group.
Cruise between waterfront bars – Your captain navigates while you cruise BYOB between dockside stops like Caddy's, Angry Pepper, The Wharf, Island Grille, Red White & Booze, and more.
Control the soundtrack – Connect your phone to the onboard sound system and run your own playlist from the first stop to the last.
Catch the golden hour on the water – Whether you're going from day into evening or starting at sunset, the views from the water make every stop feel like a photo op.
Hop off, grab drinks, then do it again – Pull up to a waterfront bar by boat, order your round, then reboard and move to the next stop, repeat for two hours.
This is the Tampa bar crawl, upgraded. No rideshares, no walking between bars in the heat, just your crew, the water, and a rotating cast of Tampa Bay's best waterfront spots.
Why we love it for your party:
Private charter – Your group has the entire boat, so the energy stays exactly where you set it from the first stop.
Sound system – Plug in your playlist and keep it going the whole time between bars, not just at them.
LED party lights – Built-in ambiance for evening cruises; makes sunset and night runs hit differently.
BYOB between stops – Sip whatever you brought on the boat between bar stops, so you're never waiting for a drink.
Captain included – Navigation, docking, and routing are handled; your only job is to have a good time.
