What You Should Wear to a Boat Party

Boat parties are one of the best ways to have some fun this summer. Aside from all the beverages, snacks, and other amenities you need to bring with you, you also need to figure out what to wear. Here’s a guide on what you should wear to a boat party this summer.

Sunscreen 

First and foremost, before you decide on any outfit, you need to make sure you put on some sunscreen. Even if you are wearing clothes as opposed to a swimsuit, you are still going to want to wear sunscreen and cover up those exposed areas in the day. Sunlight reflects more brightly off the water, and shade is tough to come by on a boat.

Hats and Sunglasses 

In addition to sunscreen, hats and sunglasses are also a must for boat parties. Not only do hats and sunglasses add a lot your style, but hats can keep your hair from moving around, and sunglasses will protect your eyes from UV rays and prevent you from squinting all day.

Comfortable Footwear 

When you are at a boat party, you also need to think about what you are wearing on your feet. Since you are climbing in and out of a boat, opt for footwear that is comfortable and water-resistant. This can be anything from flip flops to boat shoes, which brings us to our next point.

Dress Appropriately 

Make sure that you dress appropriately for the boat party you are attending. If the party is a bit more formal, then you should wear pants and a button-down shirt or a dress. If the party is a bit more casual, you can get away with wearing your swimsuit and a shirt or coverup. You should also bring a change of clothes because you never know what might happen out on the water. However, the key is to ask whoever is hosting the party for an appropriate dress code ahead of time because there are so many options.

Bring a Sweatshirt or Windbreaker 

In addition to a change of clothes, bring a sweatshirt or a windbreaker, just in case. It might get cold out there, and you don’t want to be stuck in your swimsuit, especially if the part carries over into the night. Plus, there’s a chance it could rain, which is where a windbreaker will come in handy.

Now that you have an idea of what you should wear to a boat party, you might be looking for  party boat rentals in Lake Travis. Look no further than Lone Star Party Boats for a good time out on the water this summer.
