Where the Party Actually Goes
A private party boat in St. Petersburg isn't a fixed loop — you pick the vibe, we set the route.
The sandbar party (most requested)
We leave our downtown St. Pete marina and run south to the Shell Key sandbar or the flats off Pass-a-Grille, where at low tide you can anchor and wade out into knee-deep, bath-warm Gulf water. This is the signature St. Pete party: stereo going on all three decks, swim platform down, cooler open, your whole group in the water. Up to 13 guests, fully private — no strangers, no shared deck, no schedule but yours.
The sunset booze cruise
Prefer a cruise to a sandbar? We loop the St. Pete waterfront past the Pier and the Vinoy, then point the bow west so the party rolls into golden hour with the skyline lit up behind you. The flybridge becomes the dance floor; the main salon (with AC) is the cool-down lounge. BYOB welcome — bring your own drinks, playlist, and decorations.
Why a private charter beats a public party boat
Public "booze cruise" party boats in the Tampa Bay area pack 100+ strangers onto one deck. Our 52ft Marquis Flybridge is yours alone — three decks, a real galley, two restrooms, premium Bluetooth audio, and a USCG-licensed captain handling everything while you celebrate. It's built for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and milestone celebrations that want the energy of a party boat with the privacy of a yacht.

Party Boat St. Pete FAQ
How many people can you have on a party boat in St. Petersburg?
Our 52ft Marquis Flybridge hosts up to 13 guests across three decks — that limit is federal law tied to the vessel's certification, and every guest counts, including kids. Bigger crew? Our second yacht Sly Fox adds 6 more cruising alongside. Full details in our group size guide.
Can you bring your own alcohol on a party boat?
Yes — every charter is BYOB. Bring whatever your group drinks; we provide coolers and ice. The only rule is no glass on deck — cans, plastic, and koozies are perfect. There is no drink minimum and no marked-up bar.
How much does a party boat cost in St. Petersburg?
One all-inclusive rate: $500/hour on weekdays (Mon–Thu) and $600/hour on weekends, 4-hour minimum, with captain, crew, and fuel included. Split among 13 guests, a weekend party works out to roughly $185 per person.
Do I need a boating license to rent a party boat?
No. Every charter comes fully crewed — a USCG-licensed captain runs the yacht while you and your group focus on the party. No license, experience, or designated skipper needed.
