    Yes, South Florida weather changes very quickly. Trust me, we love to show you our waterways. But when a thunderstorm rolls in, we are quick to end the trip for everyone's safety. Hope you can make it out in the future for another awesome trip! And yes, we do refund if the weather doesn't cooperate; this is how we'd expect our friends/family to be treated.

    We were on a girls trip and decided to do something different. Checking out the party boat was a highlight to our visit. Ross and Sadie were awesome captains of the boat. Ross was hilarious and shared some great information about the yachts and homes we saw. Great music, great company, great time! I highly encourage others to cruise along with Stay Afloat Party Boat. You won’t be disappointed

    This boat cruise was amazing! Before getting on the boat the area to wait is nice with comfortable chairs. Captain Harrison and Adam were so nice and really made the experience so much fun. Both were super knowledgeable of the area as well as the yachts and houses on the water. It was probably one of the best experiences of my trip!

    Captain Hunter and Sadie where entertaining, knowledgeable and know how to make the trip enjoyable. The views and stories of mansions, yachts, and characters who own them made this a lot of fun. The music, dancing and humor made this a really good time. The price at 49.95 each was the least we ever paid for a boat tour and the crew made it one of the best. Highly recommend.
