What you'll do:

You and up to 19 friends board a spacious private boat in Sarasota, crack open your own drinks from the coolers already stocked with ice and water, and spend four hours cruising between sandbars, scenic waterways, and optional tiki bar stops along Florida's Gulf Coast.

• BYOB setup: The boat comes stocked with coolers, ice, and water so your group can bring whatever drinks and snacks they want without hunting down supplies at the marina.

• Sandbar stop: Your captain anchors at a shallow, crystal-clear sandbar where your group can swim, snorkel, float on the included 12-foot water mat, or just stand in knee-deep water with a drink in hand.

• Tiki bar or restaurant stops: A few waterfront restaurants and tiki bars are within cruising distance if your group wants to grab lunch, frozen drinks, or appetizers mid-trip.

• Waterfront bar crawl option: Tell your captain before you depart and they can map out three to four bar stops with less sandbar time, fully customized to how your group wants to spend the afternoon.

• Playlist in your hands: The boat runs a surround-sound system with a wide open deck, so whoever controls the aux controls the vibe for the whole crew.

Four Keys picks up from four locations: Sarasota, Siesta Key, Anna Maria Island, and Longboat Key. Your captain handles navigation, anchoring, and keeping the coolers organized so your group stays focused on having a good time.

Why we love it for your bachelorette party:

• Room to move: The 10-foot-wide deck gives your whole group space to dance, lounge, or split off into smaller conversations without feeling crowded.

• Floaties included: Four Keys provides a 12-foot water mat and an engagement ring float, both ready to deploy the moment you anchor at the sandbar.

• Fully private: This is a private party boat rental, so your group has the entire boat and the captain's full attention for all four hours.

• Flexible itinerary: Whether your crew wants maximum sandbar time, a waterfront bar crawl, or a mix of both, the captain can adjust the route to match your group's energy on the day.

• Photo-ready scenery: The Gulf Coast backdrop, sandbar stops near Jewfish Key, Passage Key, and Egmont Key, and open-water views give your group plenty of natural settings to capture the day.
