Could not recommend Party Boat Cruises more! From the planning and answering all my questions to the day, the team were very friendly and helpful. We had my 40th bday here and it was absolutely perfect. Great size boat with all the facilities needed.. it was just the perfect way to celebrate with friends family. Am looking for other reasons to book already!

Couldn't recommend highly enough. This was my second time booking the Carol Dee boat for an event, and safe to say we will definitely be back. We had to make some last minute changes and they were so accommodating, Coryn and everyone involved were so easy to deal with and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Thanks again guys!!!
