A 45‑foot platform built for groups
The charter runs on a 45‑foot boat with a roomy back deck ideal for dancing, lounging or conversations — configured specifically for private group celebrations rather than fishing trips.
Captain, crew and sound system included
The experience includes a captain, boat crew and an onboard speaker so groups can bring their own food, drinks and music and focus on the party without operational fuss.
Two hours of coastal sunset vibes
Timed for late‑afternoon departure, the cruise emphasizes relaxed, fun‑filled time on the water — music, dancing and coastal views during golden hour are the intended experience.
