WONDERFUL PARTY VENUE FOR SMALL GROUP! I rented Houston Party Boats for a Meetup group for a Memorial Day Weekend cruise. It was a very fun and relaxing time for all. Captain Bobby and his crew were very easy and pleasant to work with. Planning was easy because we were given all the details in advance. The boat is very comfortable and provides plenty of seating as well as room to move around. It has bathrooms for your 3-hour cruise.
You can bring your own music on an MP3 player that connects with an AUX cable. You can bring your own snacks and beverages as well but no large back packs or bags (no room to stow away). Meeting at the South Shore Harbor Resort made it easy for the group to park and find each other in the lobby. We will definitely be doing this cruise event again in the future!

This was a great venue for our celebration. The crew were very accommodating, and friendly. They answered all our questions, and provided a nice set up for food and beverage service. The only thing I would recommend would be to allocate a separate bin onboard for recycling. Was a shame seeing all those beer cans and wine bottles just go straight into the trash.

Great experience. We had a wonderful time and we had a great wealthy day to enjoy our experience. Lots of space to dance and walk around and mingle or just sit and look out into the water. Will definitely come back again.
