Reservations are required so once you have tallied up your guest list, call us at (512)331-5375 to make the reservation.

Once you have reserved your themed VIP Marina Party Barge, it’s time to invite guests and provide suggestions of items they would like to bring. These items can include swimsuits and sunglasses, flip flops or water shoes, sunscreen and a change of clothes.

What To Bring on Your Barge
