Revolutionizing the Way People Have Fun on the Water

"I chartered a boat as a surprise for my girlfriend's birthday and everyone loved it. I had first reserved a boat for Miami because Fort Lauderdale was all booked. Luckily, a spot opened up and Mike told me right away. I snatched up the open spot right away. Everything the day of worked perfectly. We were able to fit extra coolers on board with plenty of food and drinks. I'll be reserving one of these again for an evening tour."

"Colin was amazing! This was a group of girls who were wild with twerking over the side of the boat and he was so professional. We had an amazing time. Floaties, blue tooth speaker, and a cooler with ice were provided. My girls packed food and lunch. We went to several locations including a sandbar and private beach where he was our photographer. Everyone had an amazing time (probably too much!). If we come back I would totally do this again!"

"Fantastic experience from start to finish. I spent a lot of time researching party boat option. This was by far the best. From connecting with company initially, to planning my person event, to taking us out on the water, this company did a fantastic job to make us feel welcome, excited and...tipsy. There is a cooler on board with ice and waters, bring your own beverages and snacks. The captain will bring you to beaches, bars and swimmy options."

"Okay so I kept seeing the reviews about this party boat and now I know exactly why they're all positive!!!! This is the BEST way to celebrate an event or just have a fun day out on the water. I was paranoid about the weather because it's been kinda off and on this whole week in South Florida but they kept in contact with me about it which we really appreciated. It ended up being a great day and every single person in our party had the BEST time. Our captain, Ross, really ensured we were having a good time and took us to all the best spots. We can't wait to go back to enjoy another day with them!"

"I totally forgot to review this experience only because my bday ended up bad! This was so great! The service was amazing just amazing! They made my bday so special the captain was wonderful! And I will have to go back in my email to get his name because he needs to be appreciated for his patience and being so kind!!!!! They accommodated my time due to my sister coming and having a rough pregnancy!! And that means the world to me!!!!!!!!!"
