Boatx takes care of the details. A licensed captain handles navigation and safety, freeing the group to relax or engage in water games with gear like footballs and floating beer pong sets included in the package.
The BYOB Coca-Cola bar complements the on-board party atmosphere, offering mixers and plenty of ice to keep drinks chilled.
