Before you go

Four practical planning checks

02
Match boat capacity to your guest list

Each listing contains a maximum passenger count. Choose a vessel with room for your group and any service staff—big events need larger platforms and crew support.

03
Plan timing around event highlights

For fireworks or sunset views, select charters that list show‑or‑sunset windows and arrive early per operator instructions. Evening events often have specific departure times.

04
Budget for gratuities and extras

Several operators recommend bringing cash for gratuities and note that catering, cleaning and taxes may be additional—confirm pricing details with the provider.
