Pickup From Your Home or Hotel

Don’t sweat logistics. Every pink party barge rental includes optional transportation from Scottsdale or Phoenix:

  • 11-passenger Sprinter van for smaller parties

  • 20-passenger party bus for full-crew birthdays

We’ll pick you up directly from your Airbnb or hotel, handle marina entry, and drop you back off safely—no need to assign a DD or split rides.


How to Style the Perfect Party Boat

Yes, it’s already pink—but here’s how to take it to the next level.

1. Balloon Garlands & Streamers

Go bold with floating balloon arches that attach to the railings. Stick to 2–3 main colors (like gold + white + pink) to keep it aesthetic.

2. Photo Backdrops

Bring a collapsible “Happy Birthday” neon sign or fringe curtain wall. Hang it at the rear for the ultimate golden hour pics.

3. Themed Party Cups & Accessories

Custom tumblers, party hats, floaties, and drink pouches scream Instagram-ready. Bonus points for matching swimsuits.

4. DIY Dessert Tray

Portable cake stand, cupcakes in jars, or mini donuts. Make it cute and heat-proof.

Pro tip: Add your theme in the booking notes and we’ll prep the boat for you!


Best Times & Photo Spots

When to Book:

  • Morning (10am-1pm): Softer light, less boat traffic, ideal for kids/family parties

  • Afternoon (2-5pm): Peak sun, vibrant colors, energy high

  • Golden Hour (5-7pm): BEST for photos. That lake-glow light is unreal.

Best Photo Zones:

  • Front bow: great for group shots and champagne sprays

  • Slide deck (Premier Sunspree optional upgrade)

  • Floating mat: goofy candids + matching floaties = feed goals
