Private Party Boat Rental Anna Maria Island (Holmes Beach): Prices & What to Expect

For a birthday, bachelorette or big family group, this is the “whole boat is ours” option. There’s a slide off the top deck, a surround sound system you control, and longer trips can reach Egmont Key, a barrier island you can only get to by boat.

Why Groups Book It

• The slide. Sliding off the top deck into the Gulf is the signature move.
• Sandbar days. Your captain takes you where you want to go, including sandbars to float on inflatables.
• It’s your party. Private boat, your playlist, your cooler (BYOB).

Heads Up: Budget for the Captain

The listed price isn’t the full cost. A captain’s fee of $60 per hour is due when you arrive, so a 4-hour trip adds about $240. It also has only a few reviews on Viator so far (around 4.2 stars), so there’s less feedback to go on than the bigger tours.

What to Expect

• Lengths: 4, 6 or 8 hours.
• Capacity: up to 12 guests.
• Included: boat, fuel, sound system and safety equipment.
• Not included: captain’s fee ($60/hour, paid on arrival).
• Meeting spot: 6398 Marina Way (Viator lists the trip under Bradenton Beach; the marina is on the Holmes Beach side).

Good to Know Before You Book

• Choose 6 or 8 hours if you want to reach Egmont Key.
• Bring your own food, drinks, towels and sunscreen.
• Infants ride on an adult’s lap; suitable for all fitness levels.
• Full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead.
