Beyond that, cocktails and spirits are available for purchase if you want to elevate your drinks. It’s worth noting that spirits are not included in the base price, so if you’re craving a stronger drink, budget accordingly.

The music plays a big role—the DJ’s energetic sets keep everyone dancing. You’ll find the atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, making it suitable for a range of travelers. Bring comfortable shoes and clothes—though the boat is stable, you’ll want to be ready to move and dance.
