Planning a party, corporate event, wedding, or family
reunion?
Large Party Boats come in different sizes and
styles in the Dallas, Fort Worth, DFW, Texas Area: Motor
Boats, Sail Boats and Barges, rated for 20, 50 or 100+
passengers. Hulls are single hull (mono-hull) or
multi-hulls (Catamarans). Catamarans are the most stable
with tri-hulls (three hulls) the best. Barges in this
area use square dock flotation to float the craft,
making it very slow, causing it to be restricted to one
area, or spending all your time just getting somewhere.
Individuals or businesses with a 30' boat or larger for
hire with a driver have legal requirements--min. $300,000 in
liability insurance, boat must be inspected every year
by TWPD, a
COMMERCIAL PARTY BOAT OPERATOR'S LICENSE or Captain
License by one of the
crew, all crew must have the boater's safety
certificate, 1 crewman per 25 passengers, life vests for all passengers and crew plus
safety equipment.
Texas Game Wardens
patrol the lake and give fines for infractions and you
may lose your rental time.
Choosing Between Party Boat or a Party
Barge?
Party Boats are Safe,
Catamarans being the safest and most stable
and can go out on windy days, more upscale, classy,
have more amenities and can travel around
the lake more quickly with Single or Twin
Engines, Sail or a combination of Sail
w/engine. Clean
toilets, nice flooring & built-in seats with
party lights for night-time cruising.
Dallas has
an average of 11 miles per hour of
wind each day, making motor or sail
catamarans the best choice, safest and least
likely to cancel your trip.
Party Barges are basically
homemade, a very slow-moving floating dock
and in this area a single engine--very basic
and not as impressive but it floats. Seating
is on plastic chairs that can break or tip
over. Water can lap over the floatation,
getting people wet. Barges are usually found
a short distance from their dock or a lot of
time is spent just getting somewhere. The
very large house boats are flat
bottom boats or a barge and they are
restricted, these barges cannot go out on
windy days(15+mph), they are very hard to
control, often cancelling your trip.
There is a boat for everyone or every
event, the choice is yours:
Don't care just get on the water and rough
house or do you want to look good, nice,
safe and clean.
Either Way Enjoy and Be Safe on Our Lakes.

Parasail Rides, Jet Skis, Pontoon Boats, Ski Boats,
Kayaks
Pontoon Boats come in many sizes and are
rated for a specific number of people with so much
weight. Some rental companies rent you the boat with you
as driver and some provide their own driver to drive you
around. Some rental companies furnish gas at no
additional charge and some don't. Do you want to ski,
fish or just cruise? There are also different engine
sizes, different horsepower. Remember that loaded
weight and engine size/hp has everything to do with boat
speed. Most pontoon boats are rated for 12 or less
people with 1800 lbs MAX. Please get the proper boat for
the occasion, If the boat is overloaded with more people
OR MORE WEIGHT, this is dangerously unsafe. |
