Just a few of you looking to mark the moment? Grab your closest friends and hop aboard for a chill cruise to celebrate the end of exams and the start of something new. Soak in the views, snap some cap-and-gown pics, and raise a (non-alcoholic) glass to your next adventure.
Want the whole boat to yourselves? We love that. Whether it’s high school, college, or university, graduation deserves a celebration that’s as fun as the people you shared it with. Up to 12 guests per boat (or 24 with two boats), your playlist, your crew, and your vibe. Dress it up or keep it casual—it’s your float to the future.
Can’t fit all the laughs, hugs, speeches, and selfies into just 90 minutes? We hear you. Book back-to-back cruises and enjoy an extra 30 minutes FREE—plus save $100. It’s the grad party you’ll actually remember. Book online and send us an email to unlock the extra time.
Got a whole squad of grads? We’ll launch two boats together so you can cruise side-by-side, share the memories, and double the fun. Whether it’s two friend groups or the full graduating class of 2025, you’ll float together—and save $50 per boat when you do.
Forget banquet halls and boring speeches. This is your moment, and you deserve to celebrate it under the sun, on the river, surrounded by your people.
🎓 Private cruises for up to 12 guests per boat (or 24 with two)
📸 Scenic photo ops with Parliament, Rideau Falls & sunset lighting
🎬 Giant onboard screen for video messages, photo slideshows, or teacher roasts
🥤 BYO non-alcoholic drinks and snacks (no alcohol served on grad cruises)
🎶 Your playlist, your stories, your energy
So throw that cap in the air, grab your people, and let’s make it a graduation celebration for the books.
Book your grad cruise today. Float into the future in style. 🌞🎓🛥️
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:
🚤 Got Two Boats?
Each boat runs and settles its own tab. No cross-boat charges (the river isn’t that flexible).
We’re teaming up with some amazing partners to bring you delicious dining options for your Palapa adventure! Whether you're looking for a full Dine & Cruise deal, a convenient pick-up option, or the ultimate on-board dining experience, we’ve got you covered.
Enjoy exclusive meal packages with our partner restaurants before or after your tour.
Grab your meal and bring it on board for the perfect floating feast.
Order ahead, and we’ll have your meal waiting for you on the boat—fresh, and ready to go!
