Great trip, loved the history of the area and stories about the homes, music was good, staff was super friendly.
Very confusing instructions on where the boat leaves from - needs to be clearer, went to the wrong location and almost missed the boat!!

Good cruise and staff .. but cut short due to weather unfortunately. Staff apologetic and promised a refund
Response from Host , Jun 2022
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.
Cruise, booze and dance the night away!

The guide was very knowledgeable and his delivery was very fun and exciting! The d.j was awesome all 3 of the guys made sure you had a blast! Fun very fun. We took the cruise at 7 I would suggest no kids only because grown ups want to party and not see or hear your kids running around

We were not sure what to expect as it was a last minute decision. We ended up having a great time and if not the best night of trip. The crew was awesome and views were incredible. Highly recommend
A blast on the water

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
Great experience and so fun!

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!
Fun Saturday Cruise

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.
Definitely will do again

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
