St. Pete Booze Cruise 21+: All-You-Can-Drink on the Water

Waterfront estates, dolphins, and two hours of open bar on a St. Pete party boat

The St. Pete Booze Cruise is a 21+ lunchtime activity aboard a 50-foot power catamaran departing from St. Petersburg, Florida, with an open bar and fully crewed service. You cruise past multi-million-dollar homes, secluded islands and bird preserves while watching for dolphins and manatees, pass under the recently built Pinellas Bayway bridge, and float through Gulfport's historic harbor lined with sailboats and yachts.

The experience

The boat leaves from one of three marinas: MarineMax, Gulfport Marina, or St. Pete Beach: depending on which departure you book. Once aboard the 50-foot catamaran, you have access to a full bar for the duration of the cruise. An all-you-can-drink pass is available at check-in if you want to lock in unlimited drinks for the afternoon. The boat carries a restroom and satellite TV, and the crew handles everything while you settle in with your group.

The route takes you past the waterfront estates that line St. Pete's coast: massive homes owned by local millionaires that you'll see from the water. You'll cruise through Gulfport, a historic harbor where sailboats and yachts anchor, and pass under the Pinellas Bayway bridge, a recently constructed span with a cathedral-like appearance when you're directly underneath it. The Intercoastal side of St. Pete Beach is a frequent spot for dolphin and manatee sightings. They often follow alongside the boat. Between the architecture, the wildlife and the waterfront views, there's plenty to watch beyond what's happening at the bar.

The cruise runs two to three hours, which is long enough to feel like a real outing but short enough to fit into a lunchtime schedule. You'll need to be 21 or older to board. Outside alcohol and coolers are not permitted, so everything you drink comes from the boat's bar. Service animals are welcome, and the activity suits all fitness levels. You're on a boat with a crew, not hiking or swimming.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the best time to book the St. Pete Booze Cruise if I want to see dolphins?

Dolphins and manatees are most active along the Intercoastal side of St. Pete Beach, which is a regular part of the route. The operator notes they frequently follow alongside the boat, but wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. They depend on the day and the season. Morning and midday departures tend to offer better visibility than late afternoon.

Which marina should I choose for the St. Pete Booze Cruise?

You can depart from MarineMax, Gulfport Marina, or St. Pete Beach, depending on which option you select at checkout. All three routes follow the same waterfront and bridge route. The difference is the starting point. Pick whichever marina is closest to where you're staying or easiest to reach.

Is the all-you-can-drink pass worth it, or can I just pay per drink?

The all-you-can-drink pass is available at check-in upon arrival, so you can decide once you're on the boat and know how long you'll be cruising. If you and your group plan to drink steadily for the full two to three hours, the pass is usually the better deal. If you're pacing yourself, individual drinks may cost less.

What's included on the boat besides the bar?

The boat has a full bar, a restroom, and satellite TV. The crew is fully staffed to serve drinks and run the boat. Outside alcohol and coolers are not permitted. All food and drink must come from what's available on board or from the bar.
