PARTY ON THE WATER THROW YOUR NEXT GET-TOGETHER ON YOUR PONTOON
Out on the lake with a few friends, work colleagues, or family members is a
great way to enjoy a sunny day. Your pontoon boat has a lot of seating and
plenty of space to move to throw a great party. On the following pages we’ll
go through all the things you need to know to throw a fun and memorable
soiree.
GUEST LIST
Know your audience and exactly how many will be coming. This will help
you decide the amount of food, the types of games, and the style of music
you will play. You want to make sure all your guests will be comfortable on
the water.
When you are
entertaining guests it is
easier to pick a theme – it
will simplify your choices.
Here are a few examples
of pontoon party themes:
• Classic Nautical
• Tropical
• Fiesta
• Pirates
• Casino
• 4th of July
• Mardi Gras
• The Big Game THEME
ENTERTAINMENT
The theme of your party will dictate the type of entertainment you will have
aboard. Whether you will be listening to music or a sports game while you
enjoy the water and sun, make sure to test your speakers and all the
components before the day arrives – there’s nothing worse than getting out
on the lake and the playlist you designed doesn’t play.
CUISINE Essentially, you can bring any type of food you like, but remember some
foods are just easier to have out on the water. Here are a few pointers:
• Bring premade finger foods, appetizers, and treats.
• Cut and marinate all your meats and veggies before boarding.
• Remember plates, utensils, spatula, can opener, corkscrew,
bottle opener, tongs, knives, and a cutting board.
• Keep hot and cold foods separate.
DRINKS Think pre-made. Pitchers of iced tea, margaritas, sangria, and lemonade are
all great choices. If you are bringing soda or beer remember to buy cans, not
glass bottles – it’s safer and your trash bags will weigh considerably less.
All parties will end up
with trash; here are a
few tips to make your
pontoon party easy to
clean up.
• Bring a tote with
hand wipes,
surface wipes,
trash bags, and
small towels.
• Supply reusable
dishes and
silverware.
• Double bag all
your trash and
store them under
a seat.
CLEAN UP
The wonderful breeze, the
warm sun, and the gentle water
will make for a fun day with
your loved ones, but it is
important to remember that
your passengers’ safety is the
most important element.
Things to remember:
• Lifejackets
• First aid kit
• Fire extinguisher
• Adhere to maximum
capacity guidelines
• Only cook while the
boat is docked or
anchored
• Make sure grills are
stable
• Avoid glass
