Combined Bach Weekend Itinerary

Why combine the bach weekend?

Couples who would rather celebrate together than split into two cities save money, time off work, and the stress of coordinating two trips. The combined format is also dramatically more inclusive — friends who would not have made the bachelor or bachelorette cut on their own get to be there, which usually produces a better weekend than the gendered version. Premier's private charters welcome all ages, so the combined group can bring parents, future in-laws, and friends with kids on the boat day if that fits the vibe.

Friday: Mixer night

Combined bach groups land Friday afternoon. By 7 PM, dinner that holds a co-ed group well — Loro courtyard, Suerte, Salty Sow, or Better Half. After dinner, Rainey Street is the right first stop because it is louder, mingly, and lower-stakes than 6th Street. Banger's beer garden, Container Bar, Craft Pride. Around 10 PM, move to 6th Street or pivot quieter to Vincent or P6 at The LINE — depends on the group's energy.

Saturday: The lake day on Clever Girl or Meeseeks

Combined bach groups usually run 25–75 guests, which means Clever Girl (Premier's 75-guest flagship, $250/hr base) or Meeseeks/The Irony (25–30 guests, $225/hr base). Cast off at noon for a 4–5 hour Saturday charter. Anderson Mill Marina is 25 minutes from downtown via 183 North — free parking, no stairs, party bus accommodating. The captain runs the safety briefing, you cruise to a Lake Travis nature-preserve cove, anchor 1.5–2 hours for swimming and floating, then cruise back at your pace.

Music on the boat: most combined groups bring two playlists — high-energy for the cruise out, mellower for the swim stop, then back to high-energy for the cruise home. Premier's premium Bluetooth audio handles pro-level sound. Add-ons that combined groups love: pro photographer ($350/2 hours, edited gallery delivered in under 5 days) and pro DJ ($450/3 hours) for the bigger boats.

Saturday night and Sunday

Saturday dinner that handles a combined group: Lin Asian Bar, Salty Sow, Better Half, or Sammie's. After dinner, the combined group usually splits — the stay-up-late half hits 6th Street, the early-quiet half pivots to a rooftop or Vincent. Brunch Sunday is mandatory — June's, Snooze, Sour Duck, or Fixe.
