9:15 AM — Arrival at Lake Pleasant Marina
As you pull into the marina, your luxury yacht rental is already prepped and waiting. Our team helps you board, run through a quick orientation, and then it’s time to set sail on Arizona’s most scenic lake.
Your vessel:
Climate-controlled cabin
Lounge-style seating
Onboard stereo system (Bluetooth)
Floating mat, waterslide, or optional bartender/captain
Explore all options in our Pontoon vs. Party Barge guide.
10:00 AM — Cruise Out to Open Water
As the engine hums and the sun rises overhead, cruise past desert cliffs and hidden coves. Cue your playlist—we recommend a mix of mellow morning tracks to ease into the day. Keep an eye out for wild burros and soaring hawks along the shoreline.
Great early activities:
Coffee & pastries onboard
Polaroids and reels for Insta
Light dips to cool off
11:30 AM — Anchor for Lunch & Swimming
Set anchor in a calm cove or head over to Party Cove if your crew wants a livelier scene. Pop open the bubbly and dig into your pre-packed charcuterie board or lunch platters.
Don’t forget:
Floating toys
Matching swimsuits
Photo ops on the bow with drinks in hand
We also offer pre-decorated party setups, just like in our bachelorette barge guide.
2:00 PM — Midday Chill & Lounging
Post-lunch is the perfect time to turn up the music, pass out the rosé, and float on our huge lily pad while catching some Arizona rays. Use the slide. Nap in the shade. Your call.
Optional add-ons include:
Private photographer
Bartender
Custom decor or games
4:30 PM — Golden Hour Cruise
Begin your slow return to the marina, cruising under golden skies. This is the magic hour for those cinematic sunset shots. Grab group pics, take it all in, and toast to the day.
“The sunset cruise back was the highlight. Everyone was quiet just watching the water glow. Unreal.” — Jason M., Birthday Group Organizer
6:00 PM — Dock Return + Ride Home
Back at the dock, your driver is already waiting. All gear is loaded, and you’re back in the van with chilled water bottles for the ride home. Whether you head to dinner in Old Town or crash early, you’ve lived a full luxury lake day.
