Private Yacht Charters · Key West
Key West bachelorette boat party — your crew, your day, your Jeanneau.
A private 38-foot Jeanneau sailing yacht. Your playlist on the speakers. Your timing on the schedule. Your bride (or your bachelor) at the center of it all — no strangers, no shared sunset cruise, no rushing back so the next group can board.
Why Private
Why private beats the bachelorette booze cruise
A 60-person sunset cruise will get the bride drunk. A private Jeanneau gets her the day she actually told her best friend she wanted. There's a difference.
No strangers
Just your crew on the boat. No bachelor party from Ohio crashing the photos. No couple's-retreat awkward small talk at the rail.
Your music
Bluetooth to the onboard speakers. Bring the bride's playlist, the Pilates-class disco mix, whatever the group is going to remember. Volume is yours.
Your timing
Late start because brunch ran long? Push the departure. Want to be back by 4 to nap before Duval? Done. The day moves at your pace, not a fleet schedule.
Sandbar dance party
Anchor in waist-deep, crystal-clear water at one of Key West's locals-only sandbars. Floats, drinks, music, the bride doing her thing. The whole moment is yours.
A Day on Board
What a bachelorette day looks like
This is the most-booked bachelorette format — the 8-hour charter. Yours flexes around the bride's plan, the weather, and how late brunch ran.
Late morning
Boarding & sail out
Meet your captain at The Perry Hotel & Marina — coolers loaded, playlist queued, bride in the sash. We push off and head for one of Key West's protected sandbars. The captain reads the wind and picks the calmest, prettiest spot for the day.
Midday
Sandbar dance party
Anchor in waist-deep water you can stand in. Float, swim, dance, take the photos that end up in the wedding speech. Bring the inflatable swan, the matching koozies, the whole bit.
Afternoon
Lunch on board
Charcuterie boards the maid of honor prepped that morning. Sandwich platter from Publix. Or pull up to a waterfront spot like Hurricane Hole or The Galleon for a real lunch and re-board.
Late afternoon
Cruise the harbor or hit a tiki bar
Slow cruise past Mallory Square, the cruise port, and the historic seaport. Or pull up by water to one of Key West's tiki bars for a round before heading back. The captain knows the docks.
Sunset
Sunset return — or extend to dinner
Watch the Key West sunset from the bow of your own yacht (it's better than any cruise, full stop). Then back to the dock by 7. Or upgrade to the 10-hour charter, dock for dinner on Duval, and have the captain pick you up by water afterward.
The Boat
A 38-foot Jeanneau, built for the day you're planning
The Jeanneau is the boat we recommend for bachelorette parties more than any other — not because it's the biggest, but because it has the things that actually matter on a celebration day. A private toilet inside a shaded cabin, so the bride (and everyone else) can change in and out of swimwear without an audience. Shade when you want it, sun when you don't. Comfortable seating for the whole group. Bluetooth audio. A swim platform off the stern.
- Private head & changing room inside shaded cabin
- Bluetooth speakers — your playlist, your volume
- Stable, comfortable Jeanneau hull (no pontoon roll)
- Swim platform & ladder for sandbar access
- Coolers & ice on board — bring your own drinks
- USCG-licensed captain stays sober and handles the boat
6 standard. 7 or 8 with a bareboat waiver. Bigger groups — we have options.
The Jeanneau is licensed and comfortable for up to 6 guests with a captain — that's the standard bachelorette setup and how most parties book it. If your crew runs 7 or 8, we can extend the boat with a signed bareboat waiver — a quick legal form the maid of honor signs that lets the additional guests come along (we'll walk you through it when you book; nothing scary, just paperwork).
Bigger than 8? We also run a 30-foot pontoon and have partner yachts up to 60 feet for parties of 10, 12, and beyond. Tell us your headcount and we'll match the boat.
Same boat, same setup — bachelor parties welcome
Bachelor parties book the exact same charter at the exact same price — just with a different playlist and usually a heavier emphasis on fishing stops, the sandbar, and tiki-bar pull-ups. The Jeanneau handles both crowds the same way: private, flexible, no strangers, your day. Tell us what your crew wants on the day and the captain builds the route around it.
Pricing

Bachelorette FAQs
The questions every maid of honor asks first
Planning a Key West bachelorette is enough work. These should cover the rest.
How many people can come?
Six guests is the standard maximum on the Jeanneau sailing yacht — comfortable seating, shaded cabin, and the private head for everyone. We can extend to 7 or 8 guests on request with a signed bareboat waiver, which we'll walk you through when you book (it's a quick legal form, nothing complicated).
Larger groups of 10, 12, or more can be accommodated on our 30-foot pontoon or one of our partner yachts — just call (305) 906-2880 with your headcount and we'll match the boat.
Can we bring our own music?
Yes — that's the whole point of going private. Bluetooth connects to the onboard speakers, you queue the playlist, you control the volume. No shared sunset-cruise Jimmy Buffett loop. Bring the bride's playlist, the hype mix, the disco set, whatever your crew is going to remember.
Can we drink on the boat?
Yes — guests are welcome to bring beer, wine, seltzers, and spirits. The captain stays sober and handles the boat; you handle the celebration. Coolers and ice are on board. We recommend keeping glass to a minimum (cans and plastic preferred for safety on the deck) and please drink water — the Key West sun is no joke and the day is long.
Do you do bachelor parties too?
Same setup, same boat, same pricing — just a different playlist. Bachelor parties book the exact same private Jeanneau charter, often with a heavier emphasis on fishing stops, the sandbar, and pulling up to tiki bars by water. Tell us what your crew wants and the captain builds the day around it.
Is there a bathroom on the boat?
Yes — there's a private marine toilet (head) inside the shaded cabin. It also doubles as the changing room for getting in and out of swimwear without an audience. That bathroom-and-changing-room combo is one of the main reasons bachelorette parties choose the Jeanneau over open-deck pontoon options. Nobody wants the public-marina bathroom on their bachelorette.
Can we add food or catering?
Absolutely. Most groups bring their own — charcuterie boards the maid of honor preps that morning, a Publix sandwich tray on the way in, the bride's favorite snacks. We can also coordinate catered drop-off to the marina before departure, or pull up to a waterfront restaurant for lunch (Hurricane Hole, The Galleon, Geiger Key) and re-board. Tell us what you're hoping for at booking and we'll set it up.
Can the boat pick us up after dinner?
Yes — the 10-hour charter was built for exactly that. Run the day, dock for sunset dinner on Duval or a waterfront spot, then re-board for a moonlight return to the marina. It turns the bachelorette boat party into a full-day-and-night experience. Just give the captain your dinner reservation in advance so we can time the pickup.
Do you do Key West weddings on the boat too?
Yes. The same boat that runs your bachelorette can host an intimate on-water ceremony — and we get more than a few bachelorette guests who come back for the wedding day. We can coordinate an officiant, a photographer, and a sunset ceremony window. Ask us when you book the bachelorette and we'll put together a wedding-day quote.
What's the cancellation policy?
Full refund for cancellations made at least seven days before the charter. 50% refund for cancellations inside seven days. Weather-related cancellations by the captain (unsafe conditions) get a full refund or reschedule — we don't run if it's not safe and we don't keep your money if we can't deliver the day.
Where do we depart from?
The Perry Hotel & Marina, Dock A, Slip #32 — 7001 Shrimp Rd, Key West, FL 33040. Free parking, easy check-in, and you're welcome to use the Perry's pools as our guests before and after the charter. Most groups arrive 20 minutes early to load coolers and get settled.
Let's plan her day.
Call or text us with your date, headcount, and a sense of the vibe. We'll quote it, hold the boat, and start building the day around your crew.
