What you'll do:

This Isn't Your Average Night Out. This is Tampa Bay Boating Adventures.

Forget the bar cover charges, the packed dance floors, and the watered-down drinks. The Wave Rave is TBBA's most requested charter and honestly, our personal favorite. A professional DJ spinning a custom live set curated specifically for your crew, color-changing lights turning the bay into a floating nightclub, and Tampa's stunning city skyline as your backdrop. All of it on a fully private party boat with up to 12 of your closest friends.

This is three hours of non-stop vibes on the water. Most groups don't even want to get off the boat.

We handle the essentials so you don't have to think twice:

Boat and licensed captain
Professional DJ included (no extra charge)
Coolers, ice, and snacks
Fuel
Free koozies and stickers to take home

Just bring your beverages, any extra snacks, and a ready-to-party mindset.

Got a music vibe in mind? Let us know during booking. Our DJs spin hip-hop, house, tech-house, EDM, and club beats, and they'll build a custom mix around your taste.

Why TBBA Beats the Competition

Custom live set built around your genre and track preferences
Top-of-the-line sound system with color-changing speakers and boat lights

Your Boat: Adventure I

Meet Adventure I: our custom 26' deck boat built for groups who want a laid-back, good-time cruise with serious amenities:

Premium sound system with color-changing speakers and LED boat lights
Spacious two-tone faux leather seating: room to lounge, dance, and move
Color-changing deck lights that transform the boat into a floating nightclub as the night gets darker
Plenty of storage space for coolers, bags, and gear
Fully private: no strangers, no shared schedules

The DJ Experience

This is not a playlist on shuffle. Your Wave Rave DJ is a local professional who has worked with some of the top names in Tampa's nightlife scene. They bring their full DJ deck on board, plug directly into our premium sound system, and mix a live set from start to finish.

During booking, tell us your preferred genre or even specific tracks, and your DJ will build a custom mix around your vibe. Hip-hop, house, tech-house, EDM, club beats — you call it, they deliver.

This is our favorite charter experience. We're not just saying that.

Want to Make It Even Better?

The DJ is already included. Add any of these optional upgrades to take it further:

Personal Photographer: Professional, Insta-ready shots of your night on the water
Bottle Girl / Boy: Dedicated service keeping your crew's drinks full all night long

Please tip your crew like you would your server or bartender. They're here to make your experience smooth and fun.

Bonus: We occasionally include a Brand & Content Intern on select trips to capture candid content. It's completely free, and yes, you'll get the photos too.
