Celebrate the Holidays in the Miami Sunshine

While the rest of the country bundles up, Miami celebrates the holidays on the water. Gather the family for a Thanksgiving cruise, host a festive Christmas or Hanukkah party, or treat your team to a year-end outing on the bay. Cruise the glowing skyline, anchor for a swim, and toast to the season.

We've been Miami's go-to for private celebrations since 2013. Book the entire boat and make it yours — bring decorations, a holiday playlist, and the food and drinks that make your celebration special. Our events lead can coordinate catering, décor, and more.

Why the Holidays Are Better on the Bay

Three reasons a holiday charter beats a crowded restaurant or banquet hall.

One Easy CallCatering, décor, a photographer, a DJ — our events lead coordinates the add-ons so your whole holiday party comes together in one contact.
