You might enjoy heading out onto the water, cruising your local lake or near the shore of the ocean. While you can head onto the water with your special someone and be with strangers who may become friends and enjoy yourself, you may want to book a private dinner boat cruise just for those you want to spend the time with.
If you are looking to book a dinner boat cruise with just your friends and family, here is what you should know to make your evening the best it can be.
Cruise Times Can Be Flexible
When you book a private dinner boat cruise you won't necessarily have to be strict with your boarding times. Chartering the boat for just you and your friends means you can work with the boat owners and cruise company to select a time that works best for you and your party.
This means, that if you want a full-day event starting in the afternoon and returning in the evening, you can work that out with the company. You can decide on how long the cruise will be and what time dinner is served. All times are flexible usually.
You Can Use Your Own Caterer
Most people will use the private dinner boat cruise line's own caterer and chef, but if you prefer, most private boat cruise owners will allow you to bring your own caterer onboard. You may have to pay an additional fee for the use of the boat's kitchen and using your own staff, so check with the owners to see if that's the case.
You will have to ensure the caterer is certified and they will have to supply everything that will be needed. This includes all the food, plates, utensils and staff.
Make sure if you want to bring your own caterer to let the dinner boat cruise owners know when you book your cruise.
There Is Entertainment On Board
When you book a private dinner boat cruise it's not just dinner you will be getting, nor a cruise around the water. You will also find that entertainment is also provided for your enjoyment. This can include a DJ to play your favourite songs while you dance the night away.
You can also have other types of entertainment on board as well. For example, you could have a casino with table games or slot machines. You could have magicians and artists for you and any children you bring along to enjoy. You could also have a murder mystery night, musicians and bands or even psychic readers.
When you book your dinner boat cruise, talk with your cruise director to see what entertainment will suit your needs the best. All entertainment is usually included in the price of the boat cruise.
