About this Experience

What you'll do:

Board a private 25-foot Sea Ray at Loggerhead Marina and spend two hours cruising the Intracoastal Waterway to Ponce Inlet, champagne in hand, golden hour overhead, and zero details left for you to manage.

  • Board the boat – Step onto your fully decorated private vessel at Loggerhead Marina, where the champagne is already chilled, and the setup reflects your bride's style.

  • Cruise the Intracoastal – Glide down the waterway toward Ponce Inlet as the light shifts and the scenery opens up around you. This is where the golden-hour shots start.

  • Spot the landmarks – Pass the historic Ponce Inlet Lighthouse and drift alongside Disappearing Island, two of the most photogenic spots on the Florida Atlantic coast.

  • Watch the sunset – Drop anchor at Ponce Inlet for 15 minutes as the sun sets over the water in pink and gold, the kind of moment phones come out for.

  • Cruise back under the stars – Return to the marina 45 minutes after sunset, full glasses, full camera rolls, and a crew that's already talking about next time

This is a bachelorette boat party designed to run itself; every food, drink, and decoration detail is handled before you arrive, so the only thing left on your to-do list is showing up.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Fully private charter – The boat is yours alone for two hours; no strangers, no shared space, just your crew and your celebration.

  • Everything included – Champagne, fresh fruit, a charcuterie board, cheese and crackers, and non-alcoholic drinks are all on board; just show up.

  • Custom decorations – Florida Boat Vacations decorates the boat to match your bride's style, and they genuinely enjoy making it specific to her.

  • Sunset timing, handled – Departure is timed so you arrive at Ponce Inlet exactly as the sun goes down; no guessing, no rushing, no missing the shot.

  • A captain who runs hospitality – With a hotel background and 20+ years on the Intracoastal, the captain makes the experience feel personal from the moment you step on board.

Where do I park and how do I find you?

There is free parking available at Loggerhead Marina or at the adjacent Caribbean Jack's Restaurant parking lot.

We'll meet you at the black gates directly in front of you.

What should we wear and bring?

Footwear: Easily removable shoes like flip-flops or sandals are recommended. You'll want to kick back and relax! Sun protection: Apply plenty of sunscreen before you arrive. Both the boat and the water reflect the Florida sun, so the risk of sunburn can be significant. We'll have sunscreen on board just in case Extras: Bring a hat, sunglasses, and a towel if you're planning to take a dip. We also carry a few towels on board if needed

Florida weather is generally sunny and warm, though brief thunderstorms can occasionally occur.

Are gratuiities included?

Gratuities are not included or required, but are always warmly welcomed if you had a wonderful time! We accept gratuities by cash, Venmo, or Zelle.

What if I get seasick?

The majority of our cruises are on the calm Intracoastal Waterways with very little turbulence or motion. However, we are on the water, so there is always a possibility of occasional motion due to boat wakes, strong currents, and such. So we recommend using a patch or Dramamine before sailing for anyone prone to seasickness.
