Fireworks Over the Water
The core reason to book: a 2.5-hour cruise centered on fireworks viewing from the water, where the skyline and pyrotechnics read differently than from shore.
Tropical Party on a Barge
The boat comes set up for a festive night—Bluetooth sound, coolers and ice, and a small crew maintaining the scene—so the atmosphere leans toward a private, music-driven celebration.
On-board Comfort and Crew
The vessel includes a bathroom and is staffed with a designated driver (captain) and a first mate, allowing guests to relax while the crew handles navigation and safety.

The crew runs the vessel and the sound system so the group can focus on the show and the social side of the night.
