How to Plan the Perfect Party Barge Experience

Planning a lake party should be exciting, not stressful. Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know for a smooth and unforgettable experience.

1. Book Early (Especially for Weekends)

Party barge rentals at Lake Pleasant sell out fast—especially during summer weekends and holidays. To lock in your date and captain, book at least 3–4 weeks in advance.

If you’re planning a big event (like a bachelorette weekend), consider pairing your barge rental with Seas The Day’s Party Bus or Sprinter Van for all-day transportation.


2. Choose Your Party Theme

A little creativity goes a long way. Some of the most popular lake themes we see include:

  • Nauti Bride: All-white outfits, matching captain hats, and champagne.

  • Tropical Luau: Flower leis, palm-print towels, and island music.

  • All Pink Everything: Perfect for the Pink Party Barge—think flamingo floats and bubbly.

  • Sunset Chic: Dress up for golden hour photos and cocktails.

The boat provides the setting—your theme makes it memorable.


3. Pack Smart

Here’s what you’ll want to bring:
✅ Drinks & snacks (coolers welcome, no glass)
✅ Towels, sunscreen, and hats
✅ Portable speaker (though Bluetooth is included)
✅ Decorations or party favors
✅ Water shoes and floaties
✅ Plenty of ice

💡 Pro Tip: Ask the Seas The Day team to load your gear early—our captains are happy to help you set up before launch.


4. Know the Best Party Spots at Lake Pleasant

A great captain knows where to anchor—and Seas The Day’s team knows every hidden cove and calm stretch. Some of our favorite locations include:

  • Honeymoon Cove: Quiet, protected waters perfect for swimming and floating.

  • Coles Bay: Open space for Aqua Mat fun, music, and tubing.

  • Scorpion Bay Marina: Grab food and drinks at Dillon’s Bayou mid-day.

  • Pleasant Harbor Marina: Great for easy docking, supplies, and restroom access.

Each spot has its own vibe, from chill and scenic to energetic and social.
