This was a really fun morning/afternoon out on the water. Captain Greg showed me and my three buddies a good time. Easygoing and knowledgeable, he got us safely to beer can island and we had a blast swimming around the island. This made our guys weekend feel like we did something other than bar hop and sit at the pool. Recommend
We love hearing it! So happy you had a blast on the water with Capt. Greg. See you next year!
AMAZING both of the guys are amazing instructors and talk to everyone and makes sure everyone enjoys their time. Trip was a long time and takes u across Fort Lauderdale into the south part.
So glad you had fun! Thanks for the great review. Can't wait to have you back on board.
I do not feel like the captain Wayne was very welcoming, seemed like everything was super strict, and nothing fun about the “party boat”. There were no floats (although we only stopped to use the bathroom twice and to get gas), no ice initially provided until we got gas (which I didn’t know was a part of the trip), no water offered or provided as mentioned on the reminder text, and we were not able to get off the boat due to the choppy seas, which was what we were looking forward to. It seemed like we kept driving in a figure 8 as we continued to look at the same views for the four hour duration. We asked to go back to our pick up spot sooner than the tour ended because it was just boring to keep circling around the same areas. The captain mentioned that it wasn’t safe to go where we could have gotten off, although he still offered us to. He was also yelling at someone who was fishing off a dock where we stopped to use the bathroom because he stated they were not supposed to be fishing in that area, although they disagreed with him. Additionally, it seemed like we played musical chairs on the boat as the captain had requested us to shift seats at least three times because of the weight differences. I truly did not enjoy the party boat experience. Maybe it was the captain maybe it was the type of day as far as the weather went… I was just really looking for a better experience on my birthday for my friends and I to enjoy.
Booked a 6hr party boat for my sisters bachelorette party and it was amazing!! Greg was an amazing captain and def let us enjoy ourselves! Thank you for an awesome day!!

Came out with some friends and had an absolute blast. We are University of Tampa students and these guys know how to party. Damon could run a fun trip with families or rage with the best of us. 10 out of 10
Damon is hilarious and awesome! So glad you enjoyed
Damon is great!! Great way to spend the day, couldn’t have asked for a better, more knowledgable captain to take us around Tampa Bay! Highly recommend the crew at Staying Afloat Party Boat!
Damon is amazing. Thanks for the great review.
This is the best party boat you can find in the area... Captain Damon is the man and gives the best experience on the water, views and good times!!!
So happy you had fun!
