Absolutely had a ball!!! My friend and I went on the sunset cruise and it was sooooo much fun! The weather was absolutely beautiful. The DJ was playing some awesome much and the scenery was to die for. I will DEFINITELY recommend for you to take this cruise. The crew was friendly and before we got on the boat they hosed and wiped down everything before we were able to get on. I liked and appreciated that a lot! ENJOYED!!
We enjoyed our trip out on the party boat. Both Ross and Hunter were excellent hosts. They were outgoing, funny and knowledgeable about the mansions and yachts that we passed on the boat. They both went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable and had a great time! Definitely recommend!
My girls trip would NOT have been complete if it werent for this cruise! Harrison and Adam made sure everyone on the boat had a great time and intermingled with one another. They are informative, friendly, and fun! The tidbits about the houses along the way were really interesting, and there were many chuckles from my group. I cant wait to check out the party boat in Tampa since its closer to my home. Thanks so much for a blast!!
Best time Ive had in so long !! I HIGHLY recommend this boat !! I read the reviews ahead of time but I had to see to believe and all I can say is WOW!! I am so happy and I needed this fun night so badly. Lifted my spirits up !! This is a must if your looking for an amazing tour boat or party cruise. Thank you Stay afloat !! Also a big thank you to Harrison and Adam. They were fantastic!!!! I will be back again soon
We had the best time this weekend on the party boat! We were celebrating my sister’s bachelorette party. Our party of 12 had an absolute blast! The captain (Ross) and first mate (Hunter) were SO entertaining and made sure that we had a great time. We parked at a sandbar in the intercostal, swam, drank, and danced. I definitely recommend this party boat !
My amazing friends booked this for to be apart of my bachelorette party and I couldn’t be happier. Captain Ross and Adam were absolutely amazing!! Our trip got cut a little short because of lightening and thunder but even with that said it was one of the highlights of my weekend. 100000% book them, they are absolutely amazing!
Staying Afloat was a perfect way to spend the Saturday afternoon of our bachelorette weekend but the highlight was TJ.TJ - we called him Thomas Jefferson but in reality he was total joy. (If you want to know his real name you have to book him). TJ may be listed as a boat captain but he’s so many other things; a bartender, a Ft Lauderdale historian, a wingman, a DJ, a wildlife aficionado, a photographer (he does boomerangs) but most importantly, a friend. Book TJ, you won’t regret it.
We had an amazing time!! I originally booked this back in 2019 for my own Bach party and because of COVID I had to change it several times. They were AWESOME to deal with and helped me rebook flawlessly every time. Fast forward to last weekend, I was able to finally book but for my best friends Bach party. We had a blast!! They had coolers, ice, water, floaties speakers it was AMAAZING! Chris was great and he made our time so much fun. Best party pontoons HANDS DOWN!
From start to finish, this company went above and beyond. We had to change our date a couple days out, and the front office was more than accommodating. Our captain, Chris, was the best captain I have ever had on a party boat or booze cruise. This guy really is an asset to your company, and he deserves all the recognition for an outstanding trip! If you are in need of a party boat in the Ft. Lauderdale area, Staying Afloat is your spot, and I highly recommend asking for Chris!
Captain Harrison and Kevin were awesome! They were helpful, fun, and interactive with everyone! We had do much fun with them! Our boat wasnt that packed so it was good because we had little children with us. But everyone was cool with them. Everyone danced and had a great time! We will definitely be booking again! Just remember to bring alcohol!
Andrew and Chris were amazing captains! We booked a last minute charter with 3 families and they couldnt have known their audience better...they took our kids to feed fish and visit a cool shallow inlet where they could play. Super knowledgable, friendly and FUN guys! They will WOW you whether youre young or old, looking for a booze cruise, bachelorette party, nice evening outing or a family float!
In town visiting my sister and we planned to do a party boat. She had gone once before and had a great time so we decided to book it. We had such a great time! Ross and Hunter were a lot of fun. They gave a hilarious tour and even joined in on the fun in the water! Definitely going to come again!
We did a 4 hour boat rental on a Saturday and had a BLAST. We had a group of 12 for a bachelorette party and truly could not have had more fun. The boat picked us up from from our rental home and came with 2 big floaties and a lillypad. Our captain was super fun and knowledgeable of the mansions in the areas that we went through. We also stopped at a beach bar for shots and a bathroom break. Docking at the sand bar was also a super fun time and as Im typing this I am really wishing I was back on that boat! Highly recommend.
No matter what vibe you’re looking for on your boat cruise Staying Afloat Party Boat will make sure you get it! For my bachelorette party my bridesmaids booked this company, with a special request for Captain Ross. From the second we stepped on the boat Ross made sure we had as much fun as possible! He has multiple playlists ready to go, within seconds and will set the party tone as you would like. He made sure that I, as the bride, was having a great time and asked where and what I would like to see/do during our cruise.If I am in the Fort Lauderdale area in the future I will be booking this company again!
I enjoyed an amazing experience for my 40th birthday with staying afloat party boat! As an original Floridian I got to see my amazing City from a different perspective. Cruising with Captain (Shaggy) Harrison as we so adoringly named him was a bonus! He was knowledgeable, patient, and enjoys his job. 4 hours and we completely lost track of time! I do recommend that you bring plenty of your own food and drinks as the route is very expensive. Overall experience A+
The Stay Afloat Party Boat was easy to reserve and not as costly as I had expected. Our boat was driven by Captain Chris, and he was awesome. He had the answers to all our questions, even the silly ones. He was very knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed the tour, Whiskey Creek and it’s history, the stop at the Sand Bar was awesome. And you must try the Gartor bites, delicious. Thanks to Captain Chris and Stay Afoat Party Boat, we had a phenomenal time. We will be back.
This was such a fun boat ride! We booked the 10am experience because we had 6 kids with us and it was a blast! Captain Ross and Captain Harrison were so nice and made the tour alot of fun! We will definitely book again if were ever back in the area! The sandbar was fun to swim at and the lily pad float was a huge hit for the kids. 10/10 recommend!!
We went on an overcast (little bit rainy) day. Small group. It was relaxing and mellow. I liked it that way. However, the next day was sunny and I saw the boat loaded with college-age, loud, wild, drinking youth. I think if you go on sunny days, you may get a wild crowd....parents of young kids beware. If weather is forecast rainy, it will be milder. It all depends on what you’re looking for. You can take a cooler with your own drinks/eats. I liked that. Crew was fun & respectful. Very safe, interesting. Boat stays in inter coastal waters.
Awesome time! Bring plenty of drinks, definitely some snacks for the ride back, and wear your bathing suit. You’ll spend most of the time at the sand bar and in the water there. They crank up the music and throw out a couple of rafts. Lots of fun and worth the experience!
We had so much fun on the Party Boat! The guys are funny, energetic and fun! They do a great tour and make the entire experience to get the party started and stay going strong! Even on a rainy day, it was still fun to go swim at the sand bar and take in the views on the way! Wish I could give them 10 stars!!
We went for my friends Bachelorette party the other day and had the absolute BEST time! Hunter was our captain and he was amazing! We had so much fun. He took our photos, gave us fun facts, had great music recommendations! His personality made the experience that much better. The boat was the perfect size for us 9 girls. We got to float in the tubes during our stops and the whole day was just perfect start to finish. Thank you for an amazing experience!
We booked a tour for a bachelorette party and this was our favorite part of the weekend. Captain Ross especially made the trip fun. He had a personality that I’m pretty sure he could vibe with anyone and cater to the needs of different groups who take the tour. He was really knowledgeable about the area, personable, and a hilarious riot! Definitely make sure you make this experience a part of your vacation.
Definitely the best day of our trip. Captain Sam picked us up at our house and was great. He was able to give us useful and funny information on the area which added to the trip. We felt safe the whole time and they provided floats, a speaker, and a cooler and basically had everything we needed. We got to drive around to see all of the canals and downtown. Then we got to stop at the sandbar and hangout in the water. Great experience overall.
A few of us friends decided to head to FL for a short vacation in the sun, with a boat day being on the top of our “to do list”. We booked with Staying Afloat Party Boat for the morning trip, but had such a fun time we ended up booking another that later that day! Captain Sam was incredibly fun, sweet, and made us all feel safe during our trips. If you’re at all nervous about being out on the water, make sure Sam is your Captain-he’s very well experienced and will make you laugh throughout the day. The best part of the party boat is all the people you get to meet, from all over the country! Do yourself a favor and book yourself one or even two trips on the boat-you will not be disappointed!
Booked a 6hr private pontoon in Fort Lauderdale for my 30th birthday and it did not disappoint! The booking process was seamless and I appreciated the reminder email since I had booked months in advance. Captain Ross was super accommodating throughout the entire charter and let us choose how we wanted the day to go. We ran into a little bit of rain at the beginning of the trip but Ross was so fun and entertaining we weren’t even bothered by the rain. He made sure we were all having a safe & great time the entire day - and played some awesome music! 10/10 would do it again. Highly recommend booking your boat trip with Staying Afloat Party Boat and requesting Captain Ross!
This trip was by far one of the most fun times I have had on a boat! From the very beginning to the very end it was non stop entertaining and fun! Ross Hunter and Kevin were absolutely amazing Captains! We had a blast! Swimming at the sand bar and dancing to the great music and getting a tour of all the beautiful mansions on the inter coastal waterway! I have great memories of a day that I will look back on with with a smile on my face!
Greg was amazing he made our experience the best! If you’re thinking about coming out make sure he is your captain!!
If there were more stars to choose from I would. Chris did such a great job and hooked us up with a night cruise last night since it rained yesterday for half off. Chris, Harrison, and Kevin made us feel like we’ve been friends for years. Good guys! Can’t wait to book again in the future!
The sweetest crew ever. My boyfriend and I took a little trip down to just check out the options, and then Andrew popped out giving us guidance and schedules for the day. The entire crew was so welcoming. Hunter actually jumped in at one point to find my boyfriends sunglasses. Chris was also an angel and scheduled us for a sunset cruise as well. These guys are beyond kind, and professional. If you’re on the fence booking with them just do it. They do everything they can to make you feel welcomed, safe, and comfortable on your trip. It was the best time of our trip for sure !!
Our group had a wonderful time. Captain Harrison and Kevin were very interactive with all on board. We were on the 4:00pm tour with our family, including 2 young children. The other group was one of young adults who were into music, dancing, and drinking. However, we still had a great time and would recommend this tour to anyone interested in spending some time on the water.
Chris was the absolute best! Came down to Florida for my birthday and we booked with Chris with staying afloat party boats and it was so worth our time! Highly recommend, he played the best music and catered to us the entire time. Thank you for showing us a good time Chris!
I got a 4 hour charter and with 2 kids (10 and 8) and a 10 month old baby I thought it would be too long lol. But our captain Chris made the time fly by! Not only did he answer the million questions that the kids had with a constant smile on his face, but he even got in the water to play with them. Chris made sure all the kids had a life jacket and that they had fun. Kids loved the floaties and baby loved sitting and crawling on the pad. We are locals, and would definitely book again but only with Chris! And for those who are wondering, the sandbar is not a bar lol. But there was a little boat where Chris said you could buy food.
THE BEST PART OF OUR TRIP!!! Seriously, we had the BEST time!! If you’re in the area, it is a MUST!!! You can bring your own drinks and food which is super helpful. The tour guides/captains were SO funny, kind and helpful! You get to see beautiful mansions and yachts, then stop at a sandbar to go in the water and Party more. We went for my sister in law‘s bachelorette party and it was the highlight of our trip! I cannot express how amazing this experience was! Thank you Staying Afloat for the greatest time!!!
Me and my boyfriend took float last weekend and had a really great time. There was a bathroom on the bigger boat. The staff was very nice. The music was on point for the sunset party experience. Just what I was looking for our date. Thank you Mr. Hunter for the good good vibes. It was wonderful and looking forward to afloat again.
Great day family trip! Had a great tour and fun jumping in the water at the sandbar! Chris was a great captain! Looking to book again, soon!
I took my group of 7 friends on this boat last week and we had an absolute BLAST. The crew made sure we were safe but also having as much fun as we wanted. The music was great. It was truly the highlight of our trip to Fort Lauderdale and was talked about the rest of the trip. Would highly recommend for a great time. It’s BYOB and they have coolers and ice on board. No glass though obviously. Seriously well worth the money. Thanks again Harrison and Chris!
Had an excellent time on this boat cruise. Andrew and the crew were extremely knowledgeable about the Ft. Lauderdale area, gave great insight into the lives of the ultra-rich, kept the cruise lively and fun, and threw in some fun surprises throughout the 2.5 hour experience. This was the highlight of our trip and something I would considering a must-do if you’re looking to get a good lay of the land. This isn’t an experience you can get on land, so I highly recommend you give this a shot - well worth the time. This is coming from someone who questions everything and brings a skeptical approach to most things. Thanks again for the great time!
Our group had the best time on the party boat with Captain Ross and Hunter. We got to tour of all the mansions and yachts which were so beautiful, and we met a great group of people who were such a blast! I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Fort Lauderdale and doubly recommend Ross and Hunter if they want a good party!!
We had the best time on the boat with our group of about 20. They give you a little tour while you cruise about who owns the houses along the intercostal before pulling up at the sandbar to hang out on floaty things. Captain Ross and Adam were fun and put up with our loud music and dancing. Would definitely do this again!
Our Stay Afloat Party Boat experience with Sam was awesome!! The pontoon was the perfect size for our party of six, and Sam was an excellent captain! Super friendly, super accommodating, definitely someone who went out of his way to make sure we had a memorable experience, which we absolutely did. I would recommend this a million times over!
Greg is the best captain! Had the best time.
Such a great experience and was very kid friendly.... Both guys were friendly and welcoming, and the others on with us got a kick out of my kids dancing. We all around had a great time! Highly recommend
Absolutely amazing time! Captain Ross and his first mate Kevin made our time on the water an experience well never forget. They kept us safe without being a buzzkill and werent afraid to join in the fun! Only change I would make is an age limit because some parents apparently arent responsible enough not to bring their children on a boat where adults are excessively drinking, swearing and dancing provocatively.
I can die happy because I shook my butt on a boat to Pitbull in Florida due to this experience. We ran into Captain Steph at a restaurant and she told us about this, and then we had Captain Ross and Mates Adam and Christy, and they were all so wonderful! They made sure everyone had such a great experience and had so much fun! Also thank you to Captain Ross for getting us safely off the boat at the end of the night after a few shots 🙏
I rented a boat for New Years Eve and was super happy with the whole experience. I booked them and they were super nice. The boat picked us up at our house and arrived early. The captain was super knowledgeable of the area and took us for a great tour giving us a lot if information and interesting details along the way. The boats are very clean and comfortable. It was my first time on a party boat and I was nervous that it would not be that great or it would be gross. But it was super clean and I felt safe. I will book with them again and strongly recommend the boats, the company and the way they provide extraordinary customer service at all times. Thank you!
This tourist attraction is top of the notch. They provide a fun activity for both young and old. It also supplies clean amusement for all. Both Capt.Ross and First Mate Adam were very kind and enjoyable.
Captain Ross was amazing!!! This totally made our trip and was the best experience. If you haven’t booked yet, BOOK! Do it now! No excuses DO IT NOW! So much fun!!!! And it’s BYOB which is even more amazing! MAKE SURE YOU REQUEST CAPTAIN ROSS MAC DADDY.
Great trip! Capt Reilly and Capt Harrison were awesome. They made this trip tons of fun, we didnt want it to end. Highly recommend to go on this trip if you want to have a good time!
We had an absolute blast with Captain TJ on Staying Afloat Party Boat for my 40th birthday! I loved our stops and music!
We had an absolute blast! Boat was great, schedule was perfect. Harrison was AWESOME! He took pictures for us, told us about sites we were seeing. Super chill guy! All the other captains we met were cool too! Definitely a must do activity in Fort Lauderdale!
Captain Chris took us 9 girls for a dirty thirty birthday party! We had a blast!! He was a great captain and told us information about different location and was a great guide. It was a great experience and one we would all do again. If we booked we would want Chris as our captain again!! Thank you Staying Afloat!!!
My group of 9 wanted to take a boat trip while visiting Miami. I found the best price on Groupon for this company. When I tell you we had an amazing time that would be an understatement lol. Our captain Kevin was absolutely the best. He was so fun. If you are looking for a wonderful boat cruise, definitely chose Staying Afloat Party Boat. You will not be disappointed.
Captain Ross was informative, entertaining, personable and handled the boat like a pro! And if you give him a good enough story, you might just end up in his book! 10/10 Recommend!
We just got back from my bachelorette in Ft Lauderdale and booking Staying Afloat was by far the highlight of our weekend! We had a blast, Harrison and Hunter were hilarious and so fun to hang with, they made sure everything went smoothly for us so that our group could party all day. It was by far the loudest boat at the sandbar with our music, such a blast, will definitely book again next time we are back, thanks guys!
We went for the day cruise and it was such a great way to spend an afternoon. The staff and the other people on board were all so friendly and happy. We felt safe and entertained from start to finish. I will definitely recommend this to others and be back for another ride.
An absolutely perfect experience!! We had so much fun and Captain Sam was amazing-he went above and beyond for us. Not to mention Michelle went out of her way to decorate the boat for our Birthday “boy”. Everything about our trip was fun and easy. Don’t hesitate-book!
First time out on the Fort Lauderdale inlet. We did the sunset cruise from 7-9 pm. Ross was great captain. We had an amazing time but most importantly we felt safe.
We had a fantastic time celebrating the bachelorette on a 4 hour trip. Our captain TJ was professional and had lots of recommendations for where we should go - and when a thunderstorm rolled in, he gave us a few options that would keep us safe and having fun. Highly recommend booking a boat trip with Staying Afloat!
My friends and I had an absolute blast! There was 20 of us. We had such a great time that we went back again the next day for round 2. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a super fun time. Katie and Harriosn were awesome. We will definitely be going back next time we visit Fort Lauderdale!
We had captain hunter and HAD THE BEST TIME!!!!!! he was amazing and we all had so much fun with him. he knew so much and was teaching us so many things about the local history! he was amazing.!:) he was a great host! Everyone needs to go to this place and request Hunter:)
The girls and I came from Houston, despite the weather TJ was amazing!!!! We got rained in a little bit but the day turned out to be amazing!!!!!! Thanks TJ. We will be back
A must do if visiting Fort Lauderdale. Just moved down here and already have taken two trips on the party boat! Amazing crew, tour and party all for a very fair price and in a good location to go out afterwards!
Harrison and Kevin were awesome! They really made our day… It was our daughter‘s 18th birthday and they Took great care of all of us. we will definitely be back👍
They boat staff kept the party lit. This was the highlight of our trip. Great staff with great energy. Its a cheap must do while in the area. You wont regret it.
I booked a private sunset cruise for my sisters bachelorette party and could not have been more impressed with our experience which was entirely because of our captain TJ. He brought us to all the cities highlights, found a great sandbar spot for a quick swim during sunset and sang along to our odd music choices. Would recommend to anyone considering and would definitely book again!
What a great experience! Our Captain Kevin was a great addition to the party. Four hours of laughter, dancing and water fun. Do yourself a favor and ask for Kevin to be your Captain. Gracias Kevin!
Captain Ross is the absolute best!! We celebrated a friends birthday and he showed us a great time. He made it clear he was going to keep us safe but assured us we could go at our own pace. If you want to party all day, hes all about it and a great Dj....if you want to just chill and enjoy the scenery, hes about that too. I would highly recommend him and cant wait to celebrate with him again!
Chris was the best captain! Had such a great time even though it wasn’t the best weather. 10/10 recommend booking with Chris.
My wife and I had a great time on this voyage. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. They answered all our questions and even gave us shrimp scraps to feed some tarpon. It was supposed to be a party boat, but since there were so few of us on board, it ended up being a very romantic night cruise (which we preferred for Valentines Day). We would definitely go out on the water with this crew again and highly recommend them for future guests.
My friends and I came down to Fort Lauderdale for a five day get away. We decided to take the public charter with the Staying Afloat crew for a day during the weekend and needless to say it was the highlight of our trip!The captain and the crew are great!! They are there to make sure the entire boat is having the best time. It’s BYOB so drink whatever and how ever much you want (make sure to bring enough)!!Do yourselves a favor and reserve some time with these guys if your in the area!!
There is no doubt this is the party boat!Oh my, the boat we rode had a full on dance floor. With poles to swing on! Captain Sweaty, I believe, was our host; super entertaining, seemed to know a lot about the area. Kid friendly, shaded and uncoved areas, and music.
We had the BEST time on the pontoon for a bachelorette party!! Captain Ross was wonderful and made our trip so special, including making sure everything was perfect for our bride :) His music was great and got the party started! Hanging out at the sandbar was a definite highlight! We would have stayed all day if we could but the 4-hr trip was perfect. This is a must-do for groups - it was the highlight of our weekend! Thanks so much SAPB & Captain Ross!
Ross and Hunter were so much fun! We scheduled this the last full day of our vacation and it was the BEST DAY! The atmosphere was so fun and we made lots of friends. I would recommend this to anyone planning a trip to Ft Lauderdale! Only downside is that I wish it lasted longer.
Went on the sunset cruise, it was an amazing time and Captain Ross was very good! 10/10 recommend, very informative,fun, and adventurous! Will be doing it again soon!
Absolute must do! I had an amazing time! Will definitely do it again!
In Ft Lauderdale for a work conference. Sunday night we were free so we got tickets for the boat that night. They don’t go to the sandbar to swim on the evening trip, but we had a BLAST! Our captains were amazing and knowledgeable. We had a group of ladies that happened to be also come that were hilarious and loud. It was a highlight of our trip and I would definitely recommend!
TJ was amazing! He went above and beyond to make the bachelorette feel special! He knew the words to all of our early 2000’s hits! He got to know all of us and we wanted to come back the next day! He sang along to BSB and Spice Girls with us and endured our shenanigans with a smile. We loved it!!
Harrison was easy to get along with and full of knowledge. He wasn’t pushy but willing to answer all our questions without annoyance. He’s also very good looking.
OMG we had an amazing time with Staying Afloat!! There were 33 of us and the crew made sure everyone of us were having a blast. I definitely will be booking with them again 😊
Booked the 1 PM party boat with me and 4 buddies. Was an unreal time, highlight of our trip. The two captains make sure you have a great time. For anyone wondering we booked on a Thursday and was still full.
We had an awesome time with Captain Harrison! Our group of 12 did the private sunset cruise and it was so much fun! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to have a good time on the water, and will definitely do again next time we’re back in ft Lauderdale!
So perfect for a big group no matter the occasion! Andrew and Hunter were so accommodating and friendly!! Very fun experience and will definitely be coming back the next time I’m in town!
We wanted to do something special for my parents for their 59th anniversary and for my dads birthday, and we decided on a sunset boat trip with Ross. It could not have been more perfect! Two hours on a boat on a beautiful evening - it was so relaxing and fun, and, most importantly, my parents really enjoyed it. In fact, they said it was the first time they really have been out in over a year b/c of Covid, and they just loved it. Ross was a great guide, giving us fun info about all of the mansions and yachts we passed. Super nice guy - very accommodating. I highly recommend this sunset tour for anyone looking for something unique to do with friends and family.
Greg was awesome!! Boat super fun for friend gathering super clean and nice. Made my friends visiting Florida have a great experience here. 10/10
