March 2025 • Bachelorette Party

We had an unforgettable time on with Staying Afloat Party Boat in Fort Lauderdale for a bachelorette party! Our captain, Ross, was absolutely amazing—so fun, welcoming, and lively, making the whole experience even better. He made sure we were all having a blast while cruising around and kept up the energy. We got to see some stunning mansions along the water, party at the sand bar, and just enjoy a beautiful day out on the water. HIGHLY recommend Captain Ross!!!

I booked the party boat for my sister’s bachelorette and we had an amazing time! It’s definitely the best way to go with a large group as there was 13 of us total. Captains Adam and John were hilarious and definitely made the boat ride an amazing experience. I would definitely book again for another event. ☺️
