    How it works

    Island Party Boat provides a unique experience on the water with a fleet of 12 boats, each offering its own distinct style and features. The options include powerboats, sailboats, and Polynesian-themed vessels that can accommodate groups ranging from 2 to 120 people. Some boats are equipped with waterslides, full tiki bars, and premium sound systems, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a tropical island getaway.

    The company also offers daily cruises along the river, departing from a central location with an accompanying tiki bar and grill. These cruises provide an opportunity for groups to enjoy the cityscape from a different perspective while engaging in activities that promote cooperation and camaraderie. Whether on a large party boat or a more intimate sailing vessel, these excursions offer an environment where teams can connect and bond outside of the usual work setting.

    Our Review

    Updated

    Our first impression of Island Party Boat is that it offers a refreshing and engaging team building experience, perfect for groups looking to break away from the typical office setting. With a diverse fleet of 12 boats, ranging from intimate sailboats to expansive Polynesian-themed vessels, there are options to suit various team sizes and preferences. The addition of features like waterslides and tiki bars adds a fun, laid-back element that can help foster camaraderie and relaxation among team members.

    One thing to keep in mind is that while the vibrant atmosphere may be ideal for creative teams seeking inspiration or new teams aiming to build rapport, it might not be the best fit for analytical teams who prefer structured activities with clear objectives. Additionally, larger groups should consider how they will manage interactions on board to ensure everyone feels included in the experience. Overall, Island Party Boat provides an enjoyable way for teams to connect and see their city from a new perspective, making it a compelling choice for those seeking an out-of-the-box team building activity.
