Bachelor(ette)PARTY ON PALAPA TOURS

🎟️ Just a Few of You? No Problem – Still All the Vibes

If it’s a chill pre-party with just a couple of besties, grab a few seats and hop aboard! Whether it’s the bride tribe or groom squad, you’ll cruise into celebration mode with tropical drinks, island beats, and those feel-good river views. It’s the perfect way to start the party—without needing to fill the whole boat.

🌴 Private Charter – The Boat, The Crew, The VIP

Got the full crew together? Book the whole boat for a private party made just for your “last sail before the veil” or “boats and bros” kind of day. Bring your playlist, bring your matching shirts, bring the energy—we’ll bring the vibes. You can BYO snacks or let us help with catering to keep things easy and elevated.

⏰ Back-to-Back Cruises – Keep the Good Times Rolling

Want to keep the fun going? Book two cruises back-to-back and we’ll give you an extra 30 minutes FREE—plus $100 off your total. That’s 3.5 hours of floating, laughing, sipping, and toasting the nearly-newlywed. Book online, then shoot us an email to claim your extended celebration.

🚤 Side-by-Side Boats – Two Crews, One Celebration

If your guest list is popping, we’ve got you. Book two side-by-side boats and celebrate with up to 24 guests. You’ll cruise together, vibe together, and even save $50 per boat when you double up. Two boats, one unforgettable send-off.

THE VIP SEND-OFF YOU DESERVE 👰🏼🤵🏽🌊

Start your special day with something unique, relaxed, and unforgettable. Palapa Tours offers the perfect way to gather your best people and raise a toast to the amazing journey ahead. Think of it as your calm before the club, your sunset before the sparkles, your float before the fireworks.


💖 Private cruises for up to 12 guests per boat (or 24 with two)
🎶 90-minute or extended tours with music, games & your theme
🥂 BYO snacks or let us help with catering from local gems
🍹 Bartender on board for cocktails that match your mood
📸 Stunning photo ops, pure vibes, and memories to start the celebration right


✨Note: We know the party will continue later, but we ask that all guests stay clear-headed while on board. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we keep things fun—but not over-the-top. Your celebration matters to us, and we want it to be perfect from the first toast to the final dock.


Let’s float into forever—with style, smiles, and zero stress. 💕


Book your Bachelor(ette) cruise today. The river’s calling. 🌅🍸

HOW THE BAR TAB WORKS ON A PALAPA CRUISE

Ah yes—the Bar Tab.

One of life’s most important logistics when you’re floating on a tiki boat, drink in hand, and the sun dipping low over Parliament Hill. Here's everything you need to know about how we handle the tab while you handle the fun:

Everyone’s on their own—unless you’re a couple, in which case, we’ll leave it to you to decide if it’s “your treat” or “split it like rent.”


We’ll open a tab for you at the bar, and last call is 25 minutes before the cruise ends. That’s when we start settling up your bills so nobody’s scrambling at the dock (or trying to tap their card while tipsy).


You’ve got options—and we love a group with a plan. Here's how you can roll:

  1. Individual Tabs for Everyone:
    Great for friends, families, or those who prefer not to Venmo each other for $7.50 after the cruise.
  2. Group Tab with a Limit:
    Popular with corporate groups. Something like:
    👉 “First two drinks are on us, then you’re on your own.”
    Just tell the bartender who’s covered and how far the generosity goes.
  3. Open Bar All the Way:
    You’re a legend. We’ll run the tab and settle it all on one bill at the end. Simple, seamless, and everyone loves you.


🚤 Got Two Boats?
Each boat runs and settles its own tab. No cross-boat charges (the river isn’t that flexible).


  • We’re a mostly cashless venue.
    We learned the hard way: wind + cash = tips swimming with the fishes. So bring a card or tap device, and keep the paper money for the end-of-night food truck run.
  • Automatic Gratuity = 18%.
    It’s added to every tab, but if you want to leave more, we absolutely won’t stop you (our crew might cry happy tears).
  • Want to leave a cash tip?
    Totally welcome—and super appreciated. Our staff will do a little happy dance once you disembark (probably out of sight, but it’ll happen).
  • Tips are split between Captain & First Mate.
    If you want to tip one specifically, just do it in cash—and discreetly, like you’re passing top-secret info. 🕵️‍♂️
