How to Throw a Party on a Boat

The is no better summer activity than throwing a boat party. Not only it’s relaxing, but it’s also refreshing getting some sun and cooling off in the lake. Summer might be a few months away, but it’s never too early to start planning the ultimate party. Here’s how to throw a party on a boat for any occasion.

Make Sure the Boat is Big Enough

First and foremost, you are going to want a boat that is big enough for your party, so you don’t have to throw anyone off-board. Party boat rentals from Lone Star can provide you with a boat that can fit plenty of people. You might want to consider getting more than own boat renal, too. The good news is you can hook them up together when you enter a no-wake zone.

Pick the Perfect Location

You also want to find the perfect location for your boat party. There’s nothing better than the scenery Lake Travis provides, which is just outside Austin, Texas. A lake as opposed to a river gives you far more room for fun actives and won’t feel as crowded either. Plus, there are plenty of safe spots where you can enjoy the water.

Create a Party Playlist

No party is complete without a music playlist. Lone Star provides you with a high-quality sound system. All you need to do is create a playlist on your phone and have a great time out on the water. Chose some variety and even consider playing some karaoke.

Decide on a Ride Length

Plan ahead and decide on how long you want to be out in the water. You will then want to communicate this with the group in case someone has to leave early. Not to mention, it gives you room to plan exactly what you want to do out on the water that day.

Bring Plenty of Food and Beverages

Food and beverages are another essential of any boat party. Bring plenty of it along with ice. Lone Star will have coolers and extra beverages if you need it. You will also want to bring some good snacks for the boat ride as well.

Be Responsible

A final tip on how to throw a party on a boat is to be responsible. While you are not driving the boat, still be alert of other boats around you. Additionally, make sure everyone stays hydrated throughout the day, wears sunscreen, and gets home safely.
