The Experience

Private Bachelorette Parties and More

If you are looking to experience something special and all Florida for your celebration, you are in the right place! Bach Boats provides a custom private boat tour experience with friendly, professional boat captains to drive your party around safely. All our amazing boats are 24-27 feet long chartered through A Boat Day, TripAdvisor’s #1 Rated Tour in the area. Whether you are planning something boujee or basic, wild or mild our captains and boats are well suited to the vibe of your bash!

On a typical day we will take your party up the intercoastal waterways then cruise out to our state park islands and sandbars, spotting dolphins and other wildlife along the way. Once at the islands, you and your friends can relax on the boat listening to your favorite tunes, then get in to enjoy the beautiful warm Gulf of Mexico to float and sip your favorite drink. Our natural islands only reachable by boat have some of clearest water, amazing seabirds and the best shelling in the world.

If you want to hop islands we can do that too and check out a few spots, the day, boat and captain is all yours! The boat tour is a minimum of 4 hours to really get into the zone (this is not just sightseeing) we do recommend 6 hour trips to really immerse in the experience!  On the longer tours, we can stop at a waterfront restaurant/bar for lunch, or drop your group after your boat day to continue the fun.

It’s your Bach Boat Party, welcome aboard!
