Entertainment

Extraordinary Entertainment

The atmosphere and entertainment on a boat are the best way to set the tone for your event. Entertainment can create anticipation, energize your guests, and bring people together for an afternoon of team building, celebratory dinner, or sunset cruise.

Whether it’s a live band or a DJ, music allows your guests to mix and mingle, dance, and relax in an open-air setting. On-board games for team building, interactive opportunities to break the ice, and photo booths allow your guests to be their authentic selves and capture memorable moments. The opportunities are endless!
