Attire & Drink Policies
What should I wear on a Waikiki boat party?
Think "Beach-Chic" or "Nightclub-Casual." We recommend stylish swimwear with a trendy cover-up, linen shirts, or summer dresses. Avoid heavy fabrics. For footwear, boat shoes or sandals are best as we may ask guests to go barefoot on deck for safety and cleanliness.
Are drinks included in the ticket price?
Standard shared cruise tickets include complimentary chilled water. Alcoholic beverages and soda are available for purchase at our onboard bar. We accept all major credit cards and Apple Pay (no cash preferred).
Can I bring my own alcohol (BYOB)?
BYOB is strictly prohibited on our public Shared Party Cruises due to liquor licensing. However, for Private Charters, we offer customizable beverage packages or BYOB options with a small corkage fee. Contact us for private charter details.
What items are prohibited on the boat?
For the safety of all guests, the following are not allowed: glass bottles, illegal substances, weapons of any kind, large coolers, and pets. Small handheld cameras and phones are highly encouraged for capturing those sunset vibes!
Weather, Safety & Cancellation
What happens if the weather is bad?
Oahu weather can be unpredictable. We sail in light rain, but if the Captain determines conditions are unsafe (high winds or heavy swells), we will cancel the cruise. In this event, you will receive a full refund or the option to reschedule.
What is your cancellation policy?
For Shared Cruises, we require 48 hours notice for a full refund. Cancellations made within 48 hours are non-refundable. Private Charters require 14 days notice for a refund of the deposit.
Is the boat safe? What measures are in place?
Safety is our #1 priority. The Floating Club is a Coast Guard-inspected vessel. We carry lifejackets for all passengers, fire suppression systems, and first-aid kits. Our crew is fully trained in emergency procedures and CPR.
