10 Reasons to Book a Private Charter with Amelia River Cruises

We have come up with 10 reasons to book a private charter with Amelia River Cruises right now, and with people coming out of their covid cocoons there are probably many more reasons than ten.

10. Boats are a great way for people to relax, unwind, and simply have fun. All of our captains are United States Coast Guard licensed, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Besides, even a bad day on the water is better than a good day at work, right?

9. Parties can often get out of hand with attendance numbers. Who should you invite, and whom not to invite? When you book a private charter with us, there are only so many seats available, so you are justified when you set a limit on your guest list.

8. When does the party end? If you book a party on a boat, you pay by the hour. Two hours is generally plenty of time, especially if your guests are drinking alcohol. When the charter is over, we simply pull back into the docks. There is no awkwardness to ending your party when we disembark your guests.

7. A party on a boat is different. It is not every day when you celebrate a wedding, an engagement, a birthday, or a milestone at work out on the water. There is something really special about being in nature, feeling the sway of the water, and breathing in that fresh subtropical air.

6. You set the tone. No matter the event, you can set the tone and theme of your party with the help of our event coordinator. Lori is or even coordinator at Amelia River Cruises and she will help you plan your special occasion every step of the way.

5. Make it memorable. While we cannot guarantee that the animals will come out to play, it is quite likely you will see dolphin, wild horses, manatee, spoonbills, alligators, and many other wildlife species when aboard a private party boat.

4. You are in the fresh air. There is something comforting about having fresh air circulating around you, rather than breathing the same stale air as you would inside of an enclosed venue. If the weather is less than perfect, we have clear vinyl windows that roll up and down – protecting you from the elements while permitting air to circulate and leaving the spectacular views unencumbered.

3. Whether you want live music, a karaoke DJ, a wine tasting, a full meal, or simple snacks, your budget helps dictate how extravagant your event will be. Go all our or KISS (Keep it simple, Sweetie), either way, your guests will have an amazing adventure!

2. You are welcome to pick your own caterer, use one of our recommendations, or prepare the food yourself. We do not limit your options. After all, it’s YOUR party!

1. The number one reason private boat charters are popular right now is that they are affordable.

What are you waiting for? Plan your next event on a boat and bring whatever you’d like, we only ask that you leave the celebration candles at home. Open flames aren’t a good idea on a boat party!
