Private Booze Cruise, Crew Commentary

Overview

Three hours on a private catamaran with GOING PARTY BOAT, your group only, cruising the coast off Bávaro. A captain and crew run the boat, play dance music, and keep the animation going, while the open bar serves vodka, tequila, beer, rum, juices, sodas and bottled water. Snacks are included too: tropical fruits plus nachos with sauces.

The trip makes stops for swimming and snorkeling, with all gear, life jackets and flotation devices provided. There is also a natural pool, a sandbar where the crew and even the waitress have been known to hop into the water with drinks, according to recent guests. The boat ends back at the meeting point on Bávaro Beach.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, or travellers can meet at the start point. Reviewers have booked it for bachelor parties, birthdays and family celebrations, and several describe it as the highlight of their trip. The listing confirms the tour is private, so only your group participates.

Coastal catamaran cruiseThe full experience runs 3 hours, with dance music and an animation team on board and the open bar flowing throughout.

What To Expect From The Tour

Here is what past guests and the listing say the day is actually like.

Group energy. This is a private charter, so only your group is on board. The crew keeps the energy up with dance music and an animation team; reviewers booking bachelor parties and birthdays repeatedly call it the highlight of their trip.
Music and playlist. The crew plays their own music, and one reviewer suggests downloading a playlist in advance and asking to connect it to the boat's Bluetooth speaker. Worth doing if your group has strong opinions about the soundtrack.
Photos cost extra. Photos and souvenirs are not included and are available to purchase on board. One reviewer found the photos expensive, so it pays to ask the price before the crew shoots your set.
Drinks and snacks. The open bar is unlimited, covering vodka, tequila, beer and rum, plus juices, sodas and bottled water. Food is light: tropical fruit, nachos and sauces. Lunch is not included, so eat beforehand if you want a real meal. The drinking age is 18.
Snorkeling quality varies. Gear is provided, but reviewers are mixed on what you will see, with one saying there was little beyond a few fish and another wishing for more time in the water. Several reviewers say the sandbar portion made the trip worthwhile regardless.
Weather and cancellations. The trip requires good weather and can be cancelled for poor conditions, with a different date or full refund offered. One family still had a great time dancing through rain, so a little weather does not necessarily ruin the day.

Common issues. The snorkeling disappoints some guests: one reviewer reported little beyond a few fish, and one said the water was too shallow for snorkeling at all that day. Photos are sold separately, and one reviewer found them expensive. Another guest felt the three hours were short for the price. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, is not recommended for pregnant travellers or those with back problems, and weather can force a cancellation or reschedule.
