Themed Cruises
Creating the kind of nights families remember for years.
From Hawaiian luaus to holiday celebrations, we turn ordinary evenings into experiences worth talking about. This is entertainment on the water, and we've been doing it long enough to know what works.
We Create The Magic
Being out on the water is about so much more than catching fish or cruising past dolphins. It's about the entire experience – what people feel, what they remember, what they tell their friends about later.
That's where our themed cruises come in.
We take everything we know about running professional water experiences – from the boats and the crews to the routes and the timing – and then we layer in food, music, seasonal celebrations, and atmospheres that make people glad they showed up.
Think of it like this: we're part maritime operation, part event production. The boat gets you there. The experience is what you remember.
Our signature themed cruise, now with a finale!
There's a reason it runs every Friday during the season.
Hawaiian vibes, with live hula dancers, island music and a fire show at the dock when you return. We head out onto the Intracoastal as the sun sets with authentic luau entertainment bringing the spirit of the islands on board.

This is the trip that kicks off weekends, celebrates anniversaries, and becomes "the thing we do every year when we visit."
Throughout the year, we run themed cruises built around holidays, celebrations, and seasons:
Christmas Regatta – Decorated boats, Christmas music, parade route through the Intracoastal
Fourth of July Fireworks – Watch the Cherry Grove Pier fireworks from the water
St. Patrick's Day Cruise – Celebrate Irish-style on the ocean
Halloween Cruise – Costumes encouraged, spooky vibes optional
Jimmy Buffett Tribute Night – Margaritaville on the water
And more throughout the season
Each themed cruise is designed around the same principle: give people an experience they can't get anywhere else. We handle the details. You show up for the memory.

What Makes Our Themed Cruises Special
These are so much more than just boat rides with decorations. We think about timing (when does the sunset hit?), atmosphere (what music sets the right mood?), food (what actually tastes good on a boat?), and flow (how do we keep 85 feet of people engaged for 2 hours?).
Our crews know how to create the vibe, manage the logistics, and make sure families with toddlers and groups of friends all have a great time, at the same time.
Who Are Themed Cruises Perfect For?
Families building traditions.
These are the trips kids remember. The ones that become "we do this every year" moments.
Visitors looking for something beyond mini golf and boardwalks.
You've done the tourist stuff. This is the side of Myrtle Beach that actually feels special.
Locals who want to celebrate without the crowds.
You live here. You know the traffic. These cruises let you enjoy holidays and weekends without the chaos.
Groups celebrating something.
Birthdays. Anniversaries. Reunions. Bachelorette parties. Sometimes the occasion needs more than a restaurant reservation.
