Meeting point
Bahia Mar Hotel and Marina: 801 Seabreeze Blvd, Dock i. Walk/Drive through self-parking gate. Make a right and a 2nd right. Go straight towards the water. We are at docks behind the hotel (north side).
Your group. Your music. Your whole boat. Take over the same catamaran customers rate 5 stars and turn the famous Fort Lauderdale sandbar into your own private pool party — floats out, sound system up, "the pool is open!" Bring your own food and drinks (BYOB) — we've got the boat, your captain and mate, the floats, the coolers with ice, and the fun handled. Cruise the Intracoastal past jaw-dropping mansions and mega-yachts while your captain spills the stories behind Millionaire's Row, then keep the party going on the water. Nonstop sun, swimming, and your kind of fun. No strangers, no shared seats, no compromises on the playlist. Built for groups of 15 to 45 — corporate outings, birthdays, reunions, bachelor & bachelorette crews — and it often costs less per person than individual tickets. Round up your people; we'll handle the rest.

Horrible (mock) sexual display imitation with loud filthy rap music
Horrible sexual show including imitation of oral sex over bathing suits and girls gyrating on top of cupboards thrusting bottoms imitating sexual positions. Complete drunkenness of young persons who didn't look 21. Sandbar was at high tide and we couldn't touch bottom. Some of us were in our 70's and no warning was given to us that there'd be mock sexual activity. And rap music saying f_____ me baby. Also no sightseeing tour. Just drive to the sandbar for an hour or so and encourage pretend sexual thrusting.Refused refund to us.

Perfect Day at your own pace.
We took your Hill Country Fredricksburg trip. Our driver/tour guide, Joseph was amazing. He knew the history of the area . We enjoyed a traditional German meal and had time to shop and explore.

I’m On a Boat!
We had the absolute BEST time with Staying Afloat! They were super cool with rescheduling a day due to crazy FL weather, and once we got going, we had a blast! Captain Ross was a perfect host blending humor with sightseeing, and the restaurant he took us to on the water was phenomenal. Highly recommend Staying Afloat Party Boats if you’re in the area!

Bachelorette party!
Absolutely incredible experience with Staying Afloat Party Boat! Our bachelorette party weekend was unforgettable, thanks to our amazing captain, "Daddy" DT. We spent hours on the boat and swimming at the sandbar, and DT made every moment fun and exciting. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious, ensuring we all had a blast from start to finish. If you're looking for the ultimate party boat experience, look no further. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A perfect boat day!
We had a great day with Captain Ross celebrating my bridal bash! Picked us up at Gallery One hotel. Cruised around the bay. Great bar set up on the boat for our drinks and food. Stopped at 15th Street Fisheries for more drinks and food. Enjoyed swimming at the sandbar. Wish we could have cruised all day!

Great time! Highly recommend!!
Highly recommend!! We had a group of 28 and took 3-12 person pontoon boats with Captain Harrison, Jacob and another captain that we loved. They were all so professional and knowledgeable! We took a tour of the inter coastal and then docked at a sandbar. We had children aged 11-17 and they had a great time on the many floats provided by the company and throwing the ball around in the waist-deep water. The captains gave us several options and catered to the kind of experience we preferred. Everyone had a great time and the captains were so personable and friendly! We will definitely be back!!
