9 Best Party Boats to Buy

7th sep 2023 by samantha wilson.

One of the greatest joys of boat ownership is to gather together your close friends and family and head out to sea to party the night away on the waves.  What could be better than sitting drinking ice cold G&Ts under the light of some moody LEDs while the sun sets, and the soundtrack plays? As veteran crooner Dean Martin once sang, “Memories are made of this.”

Any boat with a large deck and reasonable carrying capacity can be pimped out for partying, but in reality it takes more than just a sun lounger and a disco ball to really make a true party boat (View our wide range of new and used boats for sale ). When you’re considering what is the best party boat to buy there are several factors to think about.

First, a true party boat needs to have copious seating and deck space, a decent swim platform, a fridge, a head compartment, and a serious sound system. Extras such as LED deck lights and a degree of weather protection such as Bimini tops and extending sun shades all add to the party vibe. The best party boats to buy also offer a degree of layout versatility enabling you to customize and configure the craft to your specific party requirements. There are plenty of great party boats available and in this guide, we’ll look at a few of the very best on the market.

Explosion X44

Sacs strider 18, bayliner element xr7, mastercraft x55, fjord 48 open, riva 100 corsaro, interboat neo 7.0.

The best party boats to buy have lots of deck space and one of the best ways to free up space aft is to choose a craft that uses outboards and eliminates the need for a space-hogging engine box. The Explosion X44 utilizes this layout with a triple rig of 350 hp outboards, delivering an impressive top end of 43 knots. While the market may be saturated with RIB boats , the Italian-built Explosion X44 achieves maximum quality and innovation in a crowded market place. The customization options are phenomenal and even in standard form, the inboard space is pretty impressive. The cockpit features two independently movable, convertible, retractable tables that deliver enough space to sunbathe, dine with friends, watch TV, or even play table tennis. But it’s when you expand the aft deck by means of fold-out gunwale sections that the Explosion X44 really becomes a party boat. This increases the beam by several feet and provides a superyacht-style “beach club” environment, thus transforming the X44 into a bathing and lounging platform. This also increases the craft’s stability at anchor. The owner’s stateroom is beautifully fitted out with a berth, wardrobes and drawers, a dressing table, and TV. There’s also a two bed/double guest cabin and head and shower. To get the party really rolling, the X44 has an external hifi system and electric barbeque. With a maximum capacity of 20, the Explosion X44 is a great choice of party boat for those who seek both style and practicability.

Another Italian-built RIB, the SACS Strider 18 is the flagship model from the Milan boatyard and is a cut above the average boat next door. Coming in at 56 feet in length with a 17 foot beam, the Strider 18 offers a vast platform area with seating for up to 22 people. The Strider 18 doesn’t fall short in the performance department, either, with the option of 2,400 hp of diesel power and Arneson surface drives, powering the craft to 50-plus knots. However, the main focus is to maximize the usability of its deck space. The lavish and leather-trimmed helm station is protected from the elements by a rigid hard top with two exits which lead to the side decks. These feature three generously proportioned primary living areas; one in the cockpit, one at the stern, and one in the bow. The stern section has a two-part sunpad above the engine bay. This leads to the swim platform via a teak-lined walkway. The deep cockpit has a large, twin-table dining area framed by lavish wraparound seating on all sides, delivering a safe and well-appointed gathering area for 10 people. The bow deck has seating for a further eight with a combination of forward and inward facing benches. Below deck there are three key areas—a master cabin in the V of the bow, a head compartment, and a three-person guest cabin. While all this doesn’t come cheap, the Strider 18 is well worth considering when looking at the best party boats to buy.

When it comes to ingenuity, the Wider 42 is pretty hard to top.  By utilizing Wider’s trademark expanding cockpit, the 42 offers far more surface area than a conventional 42-foot craft. With a combination of performance and economy, the Wider 42 is capable of over 50 knots with its twin 480 hp Cummins engines. Much of this performance is due to the stepped hull designed by offshore racer Mark Wilson. However, the Wider’s true party trick comes at the push of a “magic” button. Once at anchor, the craft’s gunwales can be opened up and the deck expanded by simply pressing the button, and 12 seconds later the deck space is transformed into 60 square feet of party playground. This transformed area can fulfill a variety of functions. The carbon-fiber dinette can be swiftly turned into a comfortable sundeck or stylish chaise lounge, and benefits from a fitted outdoor galley with a teppanyaki griddle and an icebox for chilling drinks and snacks. The versatile stern can be configured as a sunpad or stowage area, or even fitted with a fighting chair for big game fishing. A lightweight central carbon-fiber stairway leads to the bow and additional large sunpads. With a galley consisting of a sink, a single ceramic burner, and a countertop, plus a head featuring a crystal shower unit, glass sink, and carbon toilet, the Wider is fully equipped for most essential party ingredients. If you’re after a craft that can be fully customized to your needs, then the Wider 42 is well worth your consideration.

Proving the old adage that size isn’t everything, the Bayliner XR7 Boat is a modest, user-friendly deck boat that is deceptively spacious with a rated capacity of 16 people despite being just 25 feet long. This is achieved by Bayliner’s utilization of an expanded version of the cathedral-like “M-hull” hull design featured across the Element range. It uses a virtually taper-free beam of eight and a half feet which generates a remarkable amount of deck space. The spacious deck layout consists of plush upholstered lounges forward and aft, and deep freeboard to ensure partying guests’ safety and security. The XR7, which is no longer in production (but can be found on the used boat market) was offered with a choice of power options from the standard 150 hp Mercury FourStroke to the 200 hp Verado. 

The XR7 offers the inboard space and versatility of a pontoon but with the performance and style of a deck boat . (To examine the differences between the two, see Deck Boat Vs. Pontoon Boat: Which is Better? ) Fully specced up with the Bimini top, portside entertainment system including a waterproof 120-watt AM/FM stereo, ski-tow pole, onboard MSD, fridge, and wet bar, the XR7 is a great choice of party boat for both the novice and the more experienced boater.

The Alen 55 Boat is a real head-turner. Conceived to be sociable, safe and stylish with a capacity of 16 people, the Alen 55 is a traditional design with built-in practicality and stunning lines. The elevated flare enables the inclusion of a deepset 360-degree walkway wrapped in powerful bulwarks which surround the central deck furniture, creating the feel of being “in” rather than being “on” the boat. Whether your guests are at the helm, cooking or simply relaxing, the layout ensures that everyone can be together. Up to eight can be seated at the extending table which is situated near the open designed galley. The ethos of “intelligent inspiration” is continued by the design of the boat’s interior space, which can be fully customized to the owner’s requirements. These can include a crew cabin or extra stateroom, plus the settee converts into a double berth. This is complemented by a teak sole, leather wall panels, and lacquered surfaces. The Alen 55 has a variety of engine options with either twin 800 hp D13 Volvo or twin 800 Volvo IPS drives powering the boat to a cruising speed of 30 knots and topping out at 35 knots. All in all, the Alen 55 offers the demanding customer a degree of upmarket exclusivity and a high degree of customization potential.

The Mastercraft X55 was the most luxurious and largest wakeboard boat in this company’s fleet prior to its replacement in the lineup by the X26, and if you’re looking at the best party boats to buy, is well worth consideration. Complete with a wet bar and a pumping sound system and with a class-leading capacity of 18 people, it’s one of the most comfortable wakeboard boats ever to hit the market. Coming in at 25 feet in length, the X55 is an instant status symbol. Powered by a single inboard the X55 delivers pillow-soft landings and gradual ramps as you power into the wake. The main cockpit area is a more than generous 73 square feet while the swim platform is 14 square feet of partying bliss. The X55 features contoured rear seat backs, and the starboard seat bench converts from forward to rear facing. There’s a wet bar and a top-quality sound system to ensure the party will go with a blast. To add to the party vibe, the X55 comes with an array of glittering LED lights guaranteed to keep the party swinging into the small hours.

The Fjord 48 Open Boat is all about open deck entertainment and alfresco partying. Fitted out with the standard twin Volvo IPS 600 powerplants, the 48 has a maximum speed of 30 knots. This can be boosted to 40 knots if you choose the triple Volvo IPS option. Three words sum up the Fjord 48 Open—seductive, glamorous and extravagant. Designed by Patrick Banfield and featuring Fjord’s trademark characteristics such as the plumb bow, angular lines, clean surfaces, and T-shaped roof, the 48 boasts a frameless windshield which offers unobstructed panoramic views and leads to an unlimited and open feeling. The lavish and large stern sundeck has more than ample room for relaxing and simply chilling while the fully fitted galley includes a barbeque, wet bar, and fridge. The dining area has room for 10 and can be converted into a single, unbroken sunbathing platform via the adjusting of the tables and the flipping of the backrests. Below decks the craft boasts two elegant double cabins with maximum headroom. When the sun sets, switch on the LED mood lighting and the party will go on long into the night. Finished in high-end materials such as teak, leather, and stainless steel, the Fjord 48 Open is the epitome of style and practicality. If you want to stand out from the crowd, then the Fjord 48 Open may well be the boat for you.

When it comes to picking the best party boats to buy, few can match a superyacht—and few of the superyachts in the world can match the Riva 100 Corsaro as a party platform. The Riva Corsaro comes in at 98 feet in length and essentially boasts two layouts in one, with a full-length open deck placed directly on top of a full-length covered deck. The design features five staterooms, all en-suite, ensuring there’s plenty of space for partygoers to stay the night. In addition to the guest cabins, the Corsaro also has three crew’s quarters. The sheltered aft dining space on the main deck is superbly integrated with the multi-tiered area of the bow and the magnificent dining spaces, lounging areas, and ranks of sunbeds. The Corsaro is rated for up to 20 on board and has a cruising speed of 23 knots. If you want to make a statement then the Corsaro is definitely one to look out for.

Originally available in three basic configurations, the Neo 7.0 utilizes a broad, weighty monohull with a generous bow flare and deep freeboard. With a philosophy of keeping things simple and a serious range of power options, it’s easy to make the case for the Neo 7.0, or the closest new Interboat model, the Intender 700, as a contender for one the best party boats to buy. 

The modular deck layout options help with customizing the base platform to your party needs, and every inch of the eight foot, six inch beam is optimized. Option 1 is the Lounge Line which is designed for sociability and comes with the steering position right in the center of the aft space, meaning the helmsman can be seated on the stern bench and maintain conversation with all their guests at all times. Option 2 is the Comfort Line, with the steering position located to the starboard side amidships. Option 3, the Sports Line, is designed with a central steering position and an open transom for easy-access watersports. All three options allow massive bow space with a full complement of wraparound seating and elevated stainless-steel rails. There are plenty of further options to enable the owner to tweak the boat for their requirements. The Neo 7.0 has a huge variety of power options from a modest 27 hp inboard engine rising up to 200 hp. The standard 16 gallon fuel tank can be upgraded to a larger tank if more capacity is required. The Neo 7.0 is a great party boat for those on a budget who wish for a highly customizable platform and affordable running costs.

Pontoon Boats for Party Boats

How could we have chosen nine of the best party boats to buy, without picking a single pontoon boat? Because when it comes to pontoons, they’re all among the best party boats. Even the models designed for family fishing   have party boat DNA from stem to stern, and no matter what pontoon you look at you’ll find features like comfy couches,  integrated coolers, and big swim platforms. Hey, that’s why they call them “party barges” in the first place. If they sound like a winning combination to you, check out the pontoon boats for sale on Rightboat.

Selecting the right destination

and invite your friends to the Monaco Grand Prix or the Cannes Film Festival.

Want to party with the stars at the Cannes Film Festival? Just ask

Prefer a private desert island-type setting to celebrate with your friends and family? The  Caribbean and  The Bahamas have plenty of secluded bays in which to anchor and spend quality time with your favourite people. Here is a selection of the finest destinations to host your super, superyacht party.

You can always find a beach to call your own

Spring signals the start of the yachting season on the Côte d’Azur, with the Cannes Film Festival opening the show. From May, the Riviera lights up as A-list celebrities descend to see and be seen at arguably the most glamorous film festival in the world. The best parties are, of course, on board the most exclusive superyachts, berthed in the marina right next to the red carpet at the Palais des Festivals.

Magicians or musicians, club singers or cocktail slingers, we can add sparkle to any occasion

Further along the coast, Monaco glitters with seven centuries of regal heritage. The iconic Port d’Hercule is within champagne-popping range of the gilded principality’s world-renowned gourmet restaurants, A-list clubs, and designer boutiques. Sport is also a favourite pastime in Monaco, and the principality hosts several popular events including the Formula 1 Grand Prix in May.

As evening comes, the parties begin

Chartering a superyacht trackside at this event provides not only the best vantage point for you and your guests to watch the action, but also puts you right in the thick of the action where you can literally smell the gasoline and burning tyre rubber from these amazing cars. Burgess has the right contacts to also get you into the pit lane, rubbing shoulders with the drivers before the race, and partying afterwards at the Amber Lounge.

Despite its reputation as the  Balearics ' party-island, Ibiza has more recently evolved to be among the Mediterranean’s most glamorous charter cruising grounds. The vibe throughout the summer season is all about lazy lunches, diving off deck in secret coves, and losing yourself in the rural countryside inland. The White Isle as Ibiza is known, also offers the waterborne visitor an almost unrivalled selection of beach clubs.

There is no cooler way to arrive at Ibiza's fabled beach clubs

Arrive in style by tender and join the glitterati enjoying the sunshine and sunset accompanied by chilled music before heading back on board to celebrate in style. Alternatively, as the sun sets and the vibe picks up a beat or two, head to Ibiza Town’s effortlessly cool hangouts where you can dance until dawn to the world's best DJs.

St Barth is without a doubt the New Year’s Eve capital of the Caribbean. Always a haven for celebrities at any time of year, the island brings in the new year with impromptu New Year’s Eve 'boat hopping' parties and stops at the many beach bars that dot the island. As the clock ticks towards midnight, step up on deck aboard your superyacht for a front row seat to the kaleidoscope of fireworks exploding over Gustavia Harbour.

Ring in the New Year in impeccable style

This French-speaking island is perfect for a lavish New Year’s Eve celebration. Think cocktails on deck, al fresco dinner with friends before cranking up the sound system to celebrate the passing of midnight. Expect relaxed, short-distance cruising as you island-hop through the Leeward Islands in the days following the celebrations. What better way to kick off your year than this?

Harbour Island, Bahamas

The Bahamas offers a variety of activities for parties aboard and ashore. From local restaurants, hanging out with friends at a lively beach bar, or your very own private sunset beach party, whatever you choose to do, the Bahamian culture will facilitate, with festivals, music, dancing and colourful parades continuing into the early hours. 'Fresh up' and enjoy life Bahmian-style.

The Bahamas is a blaze of bold colours and laid-back lifestyles

Harbour Island has recently come into the limelight with the arrival of a handful of chic new places recently opening on the island. With its pink-sand beach and pretty pastel cottages, the shoreline provides a perfect backdrop to sunset cocktails on board, followed by a trip ashore to a party at the legendary Vic-Hum Club. The oldest nightclub on the island, the open-air dancefloor at this humble yet iconic destination has attracted celebrities the world over.

Choosing the right yacht

From the crew to the layout, the facilities and even the décor, there are many facets of a yacht that, when combined, will influence the success of a superyacht party. The most successful charter yachts lend themselves to any type of occasion, be it a cocktail party or formal dinner party.

Some yachts and crews lend themselves to entertainment better than others

No matter what the style of celebration, there is a yacht to suit every taste. Likewise the crew can make or break a celebration, whether because they can theme any party in a creative way, or simply because the six-star service and smiling faces will give the party the right vibe.

Birthday parties, anniversaries, retirement, there's always a reason to celebrate

Burgess yachts with bars

Whether celebrating, drinking sunset cocktails, a pre-dinner drink or watching sports events, the bar on a yacht is generally one of the focal points on board a superyacht. They come in many forms, ranging from wet bars on the sun deck to sit-up bars in the beach club, sky lounge bars and cosy saloon bars, backlit-onyx bars, and elegant marble-top bars.

  • SECRET has a arc of marble-topped bar right next to the entertainment space on the main deck aft 3 of 4 photos
  • Of course bars can be set up anywhere, like this one on TRIPLE SEVEN's swim platform 4 of 4 photos

Have fun with a theme

Nothing says party more than people dressing up, and themed parties are almost always popular among charter guests. They create memorable experiences – even more so when the yacht is decked out in appropriately themed decorations.

A themed event adds theatre and means everyone gets into the spirit

From an elegant James Bond-themed evening, perhaps with poker and blackjack tables set up, to a retro-style '60s party with a dancefloor and appropriate playlist, or Pirates of the Caribbean, they can revolve around just about any concept imaginable.

A '60s theme comes with a deliciously groovy soundtrack

For those cruising in the Caribbean, consider a pirate party involving all the family. Many crews are well known for the creativity and polish of their themed parties. While keeping the younger guests entertained with a treasure hunt on the beach, you can enjoy sundowners on the sand.

A pirate theme comes with all sorts of fun narratives, treasure hunts and battles

Back on board enjoy drinks on the sun deck before dining al fresco on the main deck. If you're having a larger bash in port, have your pirate outfits sent ahead and the yacht dressed with pirate paraphernalia. Canapes and rum cocktails can be served in treasure chests!

Why are pirates called pirates? Because they Arrr!

While in the Mediterranean, perhaps cruising around the  Greek islands , a toga party might involve some Greek cuisine followed by dancing, and then a movie night under the stars with Mamma Mia or My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding on the big screen. Or while in Cannes, a Bollywood party, or in Monaco why not throw a Mexican fiesta during the Grand Prix?

A Mamma Mia party while cruising the Greek Islands? Why not!

Poolside parties

On the larger more modern superyachts spa pools are generally a given these days, and although some may be limited to a sun deck jacuzzi, the largest of the charter yachts usually have all manner of water features, ranging from infinity pools with waterfalls, glass-bottomed pools, swim-up bars, and pools with counter currents.

And then you have the real party yachts, with swimming pools that turn into dance floors, and built-in DJ booths for the ultimate occasion aboard. The 73m  TITANIA , for example, hosts her guests around the pool deck bar with seating for up to eight guests, and another four seats inside the pool itself, all complete with a DJ set up to create a real pool party atmosphere.

  • A glass-fronted pool is also great for fun photos 4 of 5 photos
  • A great pool is a destination feature on a yacht 5 of 5 photos

Consider your guest list

Whether your party is a small and intimate affair or a large, quayside event, most yachts can accommodate up to 12 guests while cruising and hundreds more while berthed alongside, when different rules apply.

However, understated elegance is key, with fewer guests and more quality time to socialise. In fact, 100-120 guests is often considered the tipping point of human intimacy and interaction, so keep this in mind when considering a larger gathering.

In port regulations allow yachts to welcome many more guests

Entertainment

Entertainment systems have always played an important role in the overall yacht party experience. Audio-visual technologies have changed significantly over the past decade, and the most successful charter yachts feature the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art and fully-integrated entertainment systems throughout their guest areas. 

A tiered cinema and surround sound make sure everyone gets the best experience

From indoor and outdoor entertainment facilities, and the latest audio-visual equipment (including on-demand movies and music systems available throughout all guest areas and strong Wi-Fi for streaming), to private cinema rooms and outdoor cinema set-ups, almost anything available on land is also possible at sea.

An outdoor cinema screen delivers movies under the stars

Music and speakers

Music is an essential part of any party, and whether you prefer the dulcet tones of Adele during dinner or the pumping beats of a live DJ set during a dockside party, music always sets the tone. Surround sound systems for yachts with their own dedicated cinemas have become the norm, while built-in speakers on the party deck are fine tuned to deliver the best possible audio quality regardless of the musical genre.

Most charter yachts take sound quality very seriously indeed - the best of everything

Some yachts have a dual-purpose feature - a sun deck, for example - that transforms into a party deck after dark and music entices guests from open-air dining on the bridge deck below to party upstairs. Live bands are no longer de rigeur, instead world-famous DJs can be booked by your Burgess charter broker to come on board and play their set for your guests, with some big names keen to play private gigs.

A sun deck nightclub could welcome the biggest names in clubland

Gourmet dining with your own personal chef is obviously one of the principal attractions of any charter vacation, but however delicious the dishes may be, how your meals are presented will have a huge impact on the overall dining experience.

Why not bring a Michelin-starred celebrity chef on board for a private dining experience?

An al fresco or formal dining set-up large enough to seat the number of guests invited is of course a must. For larger, cocktail events, a few different open-air dining options are better suited. The trend for celebrity chefs catering for such large events is on the rise, working hand in hand with your own superyacht chef to create the ultimate tasty menu to wow your guests.

Huge swathes of guest deck space make for stellar entertainment

For some, proximity to the ocean is a must, so why not dine in a yacht's beach club right by the water’s edge. The 62m  BATON ROUGE , for example, features an ocean-level beach club that incorporates lounging areas and easy access to the water by day, and transforms into the ultimate al fresco dining area by night.

A huge beach club, like BATON ROUGE's, can really make a charter, day and night

Alternatively, many modern yachts feature Teppanyaki grills – perfect for guests looking to experience something a little different in a tropical climate. Plus you and your guests get the chef's table experience with wonderful dishes prepared before your very eyes and served straight from the grill.

A Teppanyaki grill adds a touch of theatre to any meal

The raised aft deck seating area aboard the 56m MY SEANNA can be converted into a dancefloor complete with state-of-the-art sound. There's also a backlit bar and lounge/dining area on the bridge deck, a 10-person spa pool that has its own bar, and a beach club at water level. 

Helipads present the ideal option for a dancefloor and a huge jacuzzi to cool your feet afterwards

The aforementioned 73m  TITANIA also features a beach club, complete with sauna, which can then be converted into a nightclub to continue celebrations into the night. You could even have your make-up and hair done in the yacht's beauty salon before the evening celebrations begin.

Special touches make it memorable

Details make all the difference. Ambient lighting, an attentive crew, the quality of sound or the welcome cocktail, the most successful and memorable superyacht parties are those where the crews have gone the extra mile. The occasions will usually dictate the type of party and the style.

Tablescaping is just one way of elevating your entertainment experience

For example, an anniversary celebration might have a more romantic theme, with soft lighting and candles, and elegant crockery and flowers all adding to the intimate sense of occasion. A New Year’s Eve celebration or birthday might however require more of a fun or risqué theme. Whatever you want, it can be done.

Romance is in the air! It's impossible for love not to blossom

Most of the yachts in the Burgess charter fleet are designed for entertaining, with guest areas outstandingly assigned to allow for all manner of occasions according to desire. The yachts in the selection above are just afew of those recommended by Burgess charter experts as welcoming celebrations.

Saltwater Cycle – Party Boats

5 best types of party boats

Looking for a unique and exciting way to celebrate your next big event? Look no further than a party boat! Whether you're planning a birthday bash, a bachelor or bachelorette party, or just want to enjoy a day out on the water with your friends and family, a party boat is the perfect way to do it. With so many different types of party boats available, it can be tough to know which one is right for you. That's why we've put together this guide to the 5 best types of party boats for your next celebration.

  1. Luxury Yachts

If you're looking for the ultimate in luxury and style, a luxury yacht is the way to go. These boats are typically larger and more opulent than other types of party boats, with features like multiple decks, sun loungers, Jacuzzis, and gourmet kitchens. Some luxury yachts even come with their own private chefs and bartenders, so you can enjoy delicious food and cocktails while you sail the open seas. Luxury yachts are perfect for larger groups, as they can accommodate up to 50 guests or more.

2. Catamarans

If you're looking for a more laid-back and casual party boat experience, a catamaran may be just what you need. These boats are smaller and more intimate than luxury yachts, but still offer plenty of space for socializing and enjoying the water. Catamarans are ideal for smaller groups of up to 12 guests, and are often used for activities like snorkeling, swimming, and fishing. They're also great for sunset cruises and other romantic outings.

3. Party Barges

If you're looking for a boat that can accommodate a large group of people, a party barge may be the perfect choice. These boats are essentially floating party platforms, with plenty of space for dancing, drinking, and socializing. Some party barges even come equipped with their own DJ booths and sound systems, so you can dance the night away under the stars. Party barges can accommodate up to 50 guests or more, making them perfect for corporate events, weddings, and other large gatherings.

4. Pontoon Boats

If you're looking for a party boat that's easy to operate and perfect for a day out on the water, a pontoon boat may be just what you need. These boats are typically smaller and more affordable than other types of party boats, and are perfect for cruising around the lake or river with friends and family. They're also great for fishing and other outdoor activities, and can accommodate up to 10 guests or more.

5. Speedboats

If you're looking for a party boat that's fast, exciting, and perfect for adrenaline junkies, a speedboat is the way to go. These boats are typically smaller and more maneuverable than other types of party boats, and are designed for high-speed thrills on the water. They're perfect for activities like water skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing, and can accommodate up to 6 guests or more.

No matter what type of party boat you choose, there are a few things to keep in mind when planning your event. First, be sure to book your boat well in advance, as popular boats can book up quickly during peak season. Second, make sure you have a clear understanding of the boat's amenities and features, so you can plan your event accordingly. And finally, be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen, towels, and other essentials for a day out on the water.

In conclusion, a party boat is the perfect way to celebrate your next big event, whether you're looking for luxury and style or a more laid-back and casual experience. With so many different types of party boats available, you're sure to find the perfect boat for your needs and create unforgettable memories with your friends and family. So why wait? Book your party boat today and get ready to party in style on the open water!

10 Best Boats for Family Fun and Entertaining

10 best boats for family fun and entertaining

Here are our top 10 boat options ideal for entertaining and family fun:

Cabin Cruisers

Center consoles, motor yachts/power cruisers.

  • Personal Watercrafts (PWCs)

Pontoon Boats

  • Ski Boats/Wakeboard Boats

Bowriders get the nod for small-scale celebrations with groups up to a half-dozen or so people. This type of boat doesn’t have many amenities, nor do they offer cooking facilities so you’ll have to come well-prepared, but since they’re relatively inexpensive, easy to trailer, and easy to clean up at the end of the night, plenty of people enjoy entertaining aboard a bowrider.

Explore Bowriders

The things that make cabin cruisers great for spending extended time aboard, like full galleys, private bathrooms (called “head compartments” in nautical lingo), lots of seating, and protection from inclement weather, also makes them great for entertaining. How many people you’ll invite aboard can range widely depending on just how large a cabin cruiser you have, but in most cases, there will be plenty of room for a half-dozen to 10, 12, or even more people.

Explore Cabin Cruisers

While it’s true that many people choose a center console because they want to go saltwater fishing , many others like center consoles for their wide-open spaces and plentiful seating—which turns out to be ideal for entertaining. In fact, many center console builders offer models outfitted more for festivities than for fishing, with accouterments like outdoor grills, ice makers, and wet-bars. In this case, again, the boat’s size will be the limiting factor when it comes to how large a party you’ll want to throw. That said, many center consoles have so many seats and sunpads that they can accommodate more people than similarly sized boats with cabins.

Explore Center Console Boats

deck boats for family fun

Think of deck boats exactly as you’d think of bowriders. They do, however, gain a small edge since they’re usually a bit roomier in the bow than a comparable bowrider is and will commonly be able to seat an extra passenger or two.

Explore Deck Boats

If you like entertaining big crowds in luxurious surroundings, a motor yacht or big power cruiser is impossible to top. Multiple cabins, indoor and outdoor social areas, full cooking facilities, and all the conveniences of home—what more could a host hope for? And depending on the boat’s size your list of invitees could run for several pages.

Explore Motor Yachts/Power Cruisers

Personal Watercraft (PWC)

Personal watercrafts hold just one to three people and don’t have any extra space for things like blenders or cocktail tables, so why did we include them in this list? Because they’re an incredibly popular entertainment devices for people of all ages. You won’t hold a party on a PWC alone, but wherever boaters raft up with friends for larger celebrations, someone almost always brings a PWC or two. If you want to make sure all your guests have fun in the sun, consider adding one or more to your personal fleet.

Explore Personal Watercrafts

pontoon boats for entertaining

You can’t talk about the best boats for entertaining without pontoon boats being in the mix—they’re the original “party barge,” and modern pontoon boats can be found with everything from changing rooms to grills to blenders built right in. Plus, they have tons of seating and even the smaller models usually have enough room for eight or 10 people. There are also large pontoon boats topping 30 feet in length, which have the capacity to hold dozens of socialites.

Explore Pontoon Boats

Due to their relatively small cockpits sailboats aren’t commonly thought of as high-capacity party machines, but ask any sailboat owner if they entertain aboard and you can bet the answer will be yes. So if you enjoy the peace and quiet being out on the water has to offer and your idea of a fun gathering is bringing a couple or another family along for a sail, we say that makes a sailboat perfect for your entertaining needs.

Explore Sailboats

Ski Boats/Wake Boats

Entertaining on a boat isn’t just limited to parties and celebrations—it also includes treating your friends to the thrill of a lifetime. And if you have a ski or wakeboard boat, you can make that happen. As is true for many of the smaller types of boats on this list you probably won’t have many integrated entertaining features (though the stereo systems on many watersports boats are potent enough to shake the entire lake), but if you have a cooler you can load with drinks and a car full of thrillseekers, your ski boat or wakeboard boat will be the destination everyone wants to head for.

Explore Ski Boats/Wake Boats

Trawlers tend to have more room on the inside than the outside. So while they may not be ideal for large groups who are interested in fun in the sun, they’re great for year-round entertaining. Plus, larger models often have big flybridges where your guests can kick back and enjoy endless views.

Explore Trawlers

Once you’ve picked out the best boat for entertaining in the manner you enjoy, be sure to check out Boat Songs: The Ultimate Boating Playlist for an upbeat selection of tunes that can help get the party started.

Another Icon-of-the-Seas-Style Megaship? Make That 3 More.

Royal Caribbean and other companies are aggressively building over-the-top ships. “Today’s cruisezillas make the Titanic look like a small fishing boat,” noted one sustainability specialist.

A huge cruise ship is docked in a calm bay. The name of the ship, "Icon of the Seas," appears on the side of the multi-deck ship, which has colorful water slides and other amenities atop it.

The Icon of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship, drew as much criticism as excitement when Royal Caribbean launched it earlier this year, but the ship has been a hit among cruise goers. Now the cruise line is adding to its fleet of megaships.

The company already has two Icon Class ships on order — Star of the Seas, which will be launched in 2025, and a third ship that has not yet been named but will be delivered in 2026. It now has plans to order a fourth ship, set for a 2027 launch, with options for a fifth and sixth. The new ships build on the market response to Icon of the Seas, said Jason Liberty, president and chief executive of Royal Caribbean Group, announcing the agreement to build the new ships.

“Since its debut, Icon has exceeded our expectations in both guest satisfaction and financial performance,” Mr. Liberty said in a statement on Tuesday.

The 250,800-ton ship, which can carry nearly 8,000 people, has eight “neighborhoods” packed with amenities that include a 55-foot waterfall, six water slides and more than 40 restaurants, bars and entertainment venues.

Royal Caribbean’s announcement comes as the cruise industry reports record demand, attracting new customers with attractively priced packages that often include food, beverages and activities. In 2023, cruise travel exceeded 2019’s 29.7 million passengers by some two million, with 31.7 million passengers. This year, that number is expected to reach 34.7 million, according to Cruise Lines International Association, the industry’s trade group.

Responding to the demand, Royal Caribbean launched four new ships this year and has seven more on order. Other major cruise lines, like Carnival, Norwegian and MSC, are also launching next-generation vessels through 2027. The trend has drawn criticism from environmental groups, who warn that the number and scale of the ships undermine the industry’s commitment to a more sustainable future.

The world’s largest cruise ships are now twice as big as they were in 2000, according to a report by Transport and Environment , a Brussels-based advocacy group for clean transport and energy. If vessels continue to grow at their current rate, the biggest ships in 2025 will be eight times larger than the Titanic, with a capacity to carry nearly 11,000 passengers, the report found.

“Today’s cruisezillas make the Titanic look like a small fishing boat. How much bigger can these giants get?” said Inesa Ulichina, the sustainable shipping officer at Transport and Environment. “The cruise business is the fastest growing tourism sector and its emissions are quickly getting out of control.”

Based on the current fleets of its member lines, CLIA said, there is a strong balance of cruise ship sizes. Many cruise lines argue that their larger vessels are being built more efficiently in line with their sustainability goals, with features to make them compatible with cleaner fuel sources like methanol.

The Icon of the Seas has several features designed to minimize the ship’s carbon footprint, including a waste management system that converts onboard waste into energy and an advanced purification system that is designed to treat all wastewater onboard.

“Achieving net zero is not something any one company can do alone,” Mr. Liberty said, speaking last month at a Decarbonization Summit hosted by Royal Caribbean Group and the not-for-profit Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping. “It requires collective problem solving, creative thinking, and a willingness to have tough conversations.”

Grady-White Pulls off Its Largest Raft-up Ever in Vieques, Puerto Rico

  • By Tonya Russell
  • August 26, 2024

Que tu sabe!

It is a common greeting in Latin America. (Literal translation: “What do you know?”) Despite the DJ’s music carrying across the sand, I was able to hear people around me greeting each other in that way. They acknowledged me like that too. After all, though I wasn’t visiting on a boat, the 3rd annual Grady-White Rendezvous engaged everyone enjoying Sun Bay.

What started as a way for a group with a commonality to come together has turned into a day that residents prepare and take off for. Event organizer Victor Camillo describes the vibe of the Rendezvous:

“Being together with others with the same interests is amazing. We love being able to create memories. We’re like a family.”

Camillo says that Puerto Rico’s Grady-White  community has managed to create a positive atmosphere for boaters, their families, and Vieques locals. The jovial, drama-free event can make anyone feel like they can host, or be part of, an epic raft-up, but a lot of planning has gone into making the weekend successful year after year.

What’s a raft-up, you say? It’s a gathering of boaters who meet, and tie their vessels together, creating an anchored raft. This usually occurs in a pretty spot, like a cove or sandbar, though this Vieques locale is over-the-top special. Raft-up activities include visiting the other boats, swimming, wading ashore to beachcomb, and perhaps taking a kayak or SUP for a paddle. In short, a raft-up is a celebration of the boating lifestyle. This Grady-White raft-up is of record-setting size, with 77 boats and over 300 loyal Grady owners attending. That makes its organizers a great source for advice if you are seeking to organize a raft-up in your area.

According to Bill Burleson, the event’s cofounder, at least six-month’s worth of planning is necessary for the first large-scale raft-up. That will give you time to figure out the where and why of your event, because it is not enough to just tie up and party. He explains that every event should keep in mind three main tenets: charitable giving, a positive local impact, and a family friendly atmosphere.

Grady-White boats rafted up

Have a Cause in Mind

Six months before the event, the Grady owners group, La Familia Grady-White Puerto Rico, was already collecting dues. Collecting money early confirms a guest’s commitment, but it also helps with planning the charitable contribution. On top of donations to organizations like Susan G. Komen, Vieques groups receive support, like the local hospital that received a mammography machine. “The purpose is to create a better environment while getting to know other great boat owners,” Burleson explains.

This year, La Familia Grady-White Puerto Rico donated $8,000 to Fe Que Transforma (Faith that Transforms), a group that prepares food for those in need. It also reportedly generated some $100,000 for the local economy, which is in some need.

Respect the Locals

Burleson, a Vieques native who now lives on the mainland, feels that an event is not effective if it doesn’t positively engage the local community.

“I asked the group, ‘Why don’t we get together and raise funds for some entity in Vieques?’ So I called the mayor, and he immediately directed me to an entity that provides transportation to cancer patients.”

Events in small rural areas, like Vieques, are only impactful if the residents can somehow reap the benefits, and if needs go beyond cancer care, Burleson is proud of how much money the locals make.

“We’ve been stimulating the economy, and within three years, we’ve injected approximately a quarter of a million dollars into Vieques.”

That isn’t just hotel and Airbnb revenue, considering most stay on their boats. The beach is lined with food trucks and stands, vendors grilling lobster, selling slushies and arepas.

In the process of planning and partying, locals should not feel out of place or sidestepped because of an event encroaching upon the best beach or bay. That includes the ones that can’t speak up for themselves. About a quarter of a mile from the site of the party, you can find taped off, secluded areas of beach. Vieques goes to great lengths to ensure that newly hatched sea turtles are undisturbed and able to make it to the surf.

One of the highlights of the weekend is when all of the boats turn on their underwater lights. While it’s magical to witness, it is short lived, according to Burleson. By 10:30 p.m., all of the lights are off so that sea turtles are able to find their way to the shore to nest.

 “We also enforce that no one can approach the yellow ribbons where the turtles nest,” he says.

Even in an area without endangered wildlife, leaving no trace should be a goal, and that’s why Grady-White’s Rendezvous ends with a beach cleanup by all.

Money for Fe Que Transforma

Luis Rivera has been attending the raft-up since the beginning. A doctor from the main island, he was excited to hear about the mammography machine that will aid the locals, considering the alarmingly high rates of cancer on the island, compared to the mainland. He was called by the mission, but what keeps him coming back is the overall atmosphere. He contributed to it, after all, seeing that I decided to talk to him after devouring the crab salad he came and offered me.

“What keeps me coming back is that the people are respectful, and we donate to help poorer people in the community. My family enjoys it very much.”

The music was a good mix of Top 40 and local sounds. Clean lyrics of course. On Friday, the crowd is light, but Saturday, the surf is comfortably crowded with children on paddleboards and kayaks, snorkeling, and flipping into the water. Rivera’s brood of six jumped in line to snack on pernil and arroz con gandules when they weren’t floating along or dancing to the sounds of the live band. At 70, Rivera wasn’t the oldest participant, and even tiny babies were held in waist-deep water sporting their floats.

Day of Strategies

On the first day of the Rendezvous, I noticed Camillo running around with a hand-held VHF radio. No water-based event can work without them, and certainly not without dinghies (how do you think I got to Burleson’s beautiful boat with my recorder—swimming?) Future raft-up organizers take note.

The event has never run into a significant problem, and that is probably because they keep safety at the forefront. This is another important consideration for those planning a raft-up.

According to Burleson, “We don’t allow people to walk from boat to boat. If you want to see a friend down the way, you take a dinghy or paddleboard, or you swim.” At the minimum, breaking an ankle would dampen the vibe, but boating accidents can be deadly, even when everyone is sober.

Safety is also why this year’s line-up was also broken up, with some boats anchored together separately, off to the side. While it may not be as aesthetically pleasing, it is safer than forcing boats out into a rougher part of the bay. Besides, locals also need access, and a big chain of boats can block them.

Again, work with the community in which you are planning your raft up.

Besides, how else would the local fisherman come to the shore with their freshly caught lobster?

Common courtesy is enforced, and each participant gets a list of rules.

Burleson says, “We give everyone a list of requirements, including regarding your holding tanks. You’re not going to flush them here.”

That list includes how to interact with the turtles, informing everyone of the legality.

Helping boats raft up

Familiarize Yourself With Rafting Up

For an event like the Rendezvous, boaters received plenty of help, but it was beneficial for all of the boats to know how to raft up prior to the event. Dinghies also directed oncoming boats to exactly where they’d tie up. Consider stationing people in dinghies to direct and help people at your raft-up.

If you’re new to tying up, start by having three fenders and two mooring lines per side, and tie the fenders up higher than usual to prevent any impact. It is also good to have two to four spring lines on hand. The larger boat will serve as the “anchor,” and other boats should be facing the same way when approaching.

Camillo warns that you could injure yourself or others if someone is in the water, or if you aren’t watching your hands closely. Make sure all passengers keep their hands and feet in the boat while rafting up, so they don’t get pinched.

Bottom Line

The Grady-White Owners of Puerto Rico, put on one of the most successful and largest raft-ups in the world. It is a testament to good planning, the fellowship between boaters and to top it off, it helps those in need. To the Grady-White Family of Puerto Rico, we say, ¡Buen trabajo!

9 Tips for Rafting Up

  • The largest, heaviest boat should drop its anchor first, and smaller boats can tie up on either side.
  • Approaching boats should slow down to avoid any potentially damaging collisions. Think twice about cutting your engine—you may need to guide your boat against the current.
  • Remember to deploy your fenders before approaching another boat to raft up.
  • Come in facing the same direction as the larger boat, then throw your bow line over to the larger boat.
  • Try to align the boats’ transoms. Exchange lines, and make sure they’re firm before tying up.
  • Tie the bowline first, then the stern line.
  • Always secure boats to one another using the cleats—not rail stations, handrails, or other accessories.
  • Keep the lines tied between boats as tight as possible to minimize motion between the boats.
  • Try your best to raft together with boats that are a similar size next to each other, or in size order.

South Beach's Favorite Party Boat Experience

"There were 9 of us that booked Southbeach Party Boats and we had such a blast! Captain Ryan was a ton of fun! Bobby did a nice job at service recovery!! They take you around the bay and then dock at a nearby island where you can swim, drink, dance , tan and eat food! They grilled some burgers and hot dogs that were delicious!! They provide wine and beer! The plus was that you can bring your own booze on Board!! I am definitely coming back to this booze cruise when I return to South Beach!!"

"South Beach Party Boats is the way to go if you are looking for a SUPER fun experience. They played the music we wanted, had all the beer, wine and water we could ask for, they even had a beer opener! These people were prepared and you could tell they just want everyone to be happy and have a good time. Also, it was a GORGEOUS boat ride and loved seeing different parts of Miami. Even the party bus was awesome and picked us up right on time! Seriously I dont have any complaints."

"We were the first boat trip of the day and the crew was late and needed a half hour to stock the boat, that was the only bummer of the experience, loosing a half hour. The boat was so much fun and provided enough food and booze to satisfy and played awesome music! They had rafts and paddle boards to add to it. Would definitely recommend and would do it again!"

"Amazing! It was more than I ever expected It to be. I went and celebrated my birthday with a couple of friends and its absolutely one for the books. The ride was great, they allowed us to connect our own aux, and although we had other people on the boat with us we all got together and had an amazing time. Thank You South Beach Party Boats for a birthday my friends and I will never forget. I'll be sure to recommend you all to anyone and everyone I know. Thanks Again!!"

The latest breaking updates, delivered straight to your email inbox.

A month after a multimillion-dollar yacht capsized in the West River near Edgewater, crews are getting ready to tow it out of the area.

On July 27, the Love Bug took on water and made a mayday call before capsizing .

"It's just crazy, right? It's not every day a multimillion-dollar yacht gets capsized off your home," said Samantha Kaplan, who lives in the nearby Beverly Beach neighborhood near where the boat went down.

Some neighbors have had a front-row seat for all of it, even watching as all five people on the boat were rescued.

"They actually rescued people to that dock right there, so we saw people getting off the boat," said Ann Gaines, a neighbor. "I guess the owner and a couple people had already been rescued by another boat."

For nearly a month, neighbors looked at the boat lying on its side. They said after the remnants of Hurricane Debby blew through, artifacts from the boat washed ashore, including the boat's bar.

"Countertops and chairs and all of these liquor bottles, like Maker's Mark, and one of our neighbors gathered it all together and set it up like it was a bar," Gaines said.

"I found a frozen burrito that was no longer frozen, and added it to the bar collection," Kaplan said.

That's all gone now, and the Love Bug soon will be too.

Last week, salvage crews, barges and cranes surrounded the yacht and stood it upright. Crews had to rig it up and patch holes before the boat could be towed away to New Jersey.

Neighbors said it's been an interesting month, and even once the boat is gone, they will still have quite the story to tell.

"Every time we've had a person come and visit us the last few weeks, we're like, 'Also this is the million-dollar yacht that sank off our coast.' It's definitely been a good storytime for a little bit," Kaplan said.

The investigation into what caused the ship to take on water is ongoing.

The Top 1,659 Boat Songs To Rock Out To

There is no such thing as a boat day that is silent unless fishing is involved, and back in the day we had to curate lists and prepare endlessly for a boat trip. Today, we have Spotify and Pandora, so we can always get the right vibes and set the right tone for a perfect day on the lake.

Music is extremely personal and is the fastest way to set a mood, on or off the water. Party boat songs are in their own class though, and most listeners’ tastes can be categorized into four groups: bangers, country, classic, or yacht rock.

We combed through hundreds of Spotify playlists to share our favorite party boat songs, and the most requested lists from our excursions.

Behold the top 1,659 boat songs to rock out to:

Boat Party 2023: Party Hits

This year’s easiest to grab party boat playlist, these songs are what’s hot this year.

Boat Party Bangers Music 2023

If you plan on hitting up Devil’s Cove and getting loud, this is THE list for that.

From Journey and Diana Ross to Steely Dan, this list has it all and is perfect for a multi-generational outing.

25 of the Best Boating Songs

While it’s the shortest playlist on our list, it’s pretty fricken’ good and just sounds like boating – Jimmy Buffett, Katy Perry, The Beach Boys, and Van Morrison? Yessir.

Boat Party Jamz

Okay look, we’ve invested in our sound systems more than any other fleet on the lake, so we absolutely love bass-heavy music – most systems fall flat, but we can bump so hard your sunglasses fall off.

Boating Country Music

From old to new, this list has it all: Johnny Cash to Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line, it invokes the feeling of a hot summer day on the water.

Over 600 Boat Jams

If country music is what you’re looking for while floating on Lake Travis, this is the ultimate list. It’s diverse and classic, and they keep adding songs to it. We love it!

90s/00s Boat Jams

For some of us, a day in the sun isn’t complete without some Nsync and Britney or Ludacris yellin’ about Southern Hospitality (throw them ‘bows!!), so this is where we head on those days.

80s/90s Jams

And for others, the 80s and 90s are the sweet spot for a fun day, so this list is ready to scratch that itch!

Remixes & Mashups 2023

One of the more creative ways to enjoy music on the lake is with a list of remixes and mashups to keep it unexpected yet still familiar.

These are all Spotify playlists, but we also have Pandora on all of our boats, so you can tell us an artist and we can take it from there. But we find that today, most folks have a playlist ready, and we’re equipped for that.

We hope this list of playlists suits all of your needs, or gets you inspired to create your ultimate playlist of boat songs for your next outing on the water!

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
