About this Experience

What you'll do:

You and your crew board a private luxury yacht on Tampa Bay for a 2-hour cruise built around your party, scenic water views, good drinks you brought yourself, and a captain who handles everything while you celebrate.

  • Board the yacht – Step onto a fully crewed luxury vessel at the dock and settle in while the captain navigates toward Tampa Bay's open water.

  • Cruise the coastline – Take in waterfront mansions, island views, and Tampa's skyline from the water, with route options tailored to your group's vibe.

  • Swim or sunbathe – Drop anchor at a private spot and hit the water, or just post up on the deck with a cold drink in hand.

  • Dance and mingle – Bring your playlist, your party swag, and your people. The boat's BYOB setup means your celebration runs exactly how you want it.

  • Toast the occasion – Whether it's the last night of freedom or the kickoff to a big trip, you end the cruise with a moment worth remembering.

This is a real party on the water, not a scenic sightseeing loop. It moves at your pace, on your terms.

Why we love it for your party:

  • BYOB policy – You bring the drinks and set the vibe; no overpriced bar minimums or drink packages to navigate.

  • Customizable route – Your captain can cruise mansion row, open bay, or anchor near a private island depending on what your group wants.

  • Full crew included – A licensed captain and professional crew run the boat so your whole group can actually enjoy the ride.

  • Private charter – No strangers on board; the yacht is exclusively yours for the full duration.

  • Flexible duration – Choose a 2-hour party cruise or extend to 4 hours or a full day if your group wants more time on the water.
