Bachelorette Party Boats in New Orleans: BYOB Barges the Group Chat Will Approve

Bachelorette crew in colorful wigs partying aboard the Party Queen barge

Why brides pick the bayou

"EVERYTHING was lit from start to finish"

That's a real guest, and it's the standard outcome. The formula is simple: a boat that's all yours, a captain who handles everything, and the one backdrop in New Orleans that no other bachelorette party at the hotel will have.

Private BYOB barges for up to 25
Your phone, the aux cord, no DJ to argue with
Veils, sashes and themed cups welcome aboard
20 to 30 minutes from the French Quarter hotels

Good to Know

Bachelorette questions

Which boat is best for a bachelorette party?

The Freaky Tiki or Twerkin' Tiki if you can get one: 25 spots, thatched roof, the photos win the group chat. The Party Queen is the move for crews of 20 to 22 who want more deck to dance on.

Can we decorate the boat?

Yes, within reason. Sashes, veils, balloons and themed cups are all standard issue out here. Skip glitter and confetti, the bayou keeps whatever falls in it.

Is it really BYOB?

Fully. Seltzers, champagne, a cooler of daiquiris from the drive-through, all of it comes aboard with you.

How far in advance should we book?

For spring and fall Saturdays, book as soon as the group chat agrees on a date. The tiki boats are the first thing on the bayou to sell out.

Saturdays sell out first

Spring and fall bachelorette season books weeks ahead. Lock the date before the group chat changes its mind.
