Create unforgettable prom and school event memories on Lake Travis! Premier Party Cruises offers a unique, safe venue for high school groups celebrating prom, homecoming, after-prom parties, and school dances. Our Private Boat Rentals provide supervised entertainment with stunning scenery and premium amenities. Perfect for school groups, parent organizations, and student clubs looking for an extraordinary celebration venue.
Prom night is one of high school's most memorable experiences, and Premier Party Cruises offers a venue that takes this milestone to the next level. A Lake Travis cruise provides a stunning, Instagram-worthy backdrop that makes your prom photos extraordinary. The combination of crystal-clear water, Texas Hill Country scenery, and open sky creates a magical atmosphere for this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
A prom cruise offers distinct advantages over traditional ballroom or banquet hall venues. Students experience something truly unique—a floating celebration with premium sound, comfortable spaces, and the beautiful Lake Travis environment. The exclusive, private setting creates a controlled environment where students can celebrate safely while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Premier Party Cruises has hosted numerous school events over our 14+ years on Lake Travis. We understand the importance of these milestone celebrations and the responsibility involved in hosting student groups. Our professional crew, USCG certified captains, and commitment to safety make us a trusted choice for school organizations.
Premier Party Cruises offers vessels suited for school events of various sizes. Select the boat that matches your group and desired atmosphere. Day Tripper accommodates up to 14 guests, perfect for smaller friend groups celebrating together or intimate school club events. This vessel provides a personal experience for close-knit groups.
Meeseeks and The Irony each accommodate up to 30 guests, ideal for larger friend groups, student organizations, or class sections celebrating together. These boats offer ample dance floor space, comfortable seating, and room for socializing. For larger school events, our flagship Clever Girl accommodates up to 75 guests with extensive deck space.
All boats feature professional USCG certified captains, premium Bluetooth sound systems perfect for DJ services or playlists, and comfortable seating. The sound quality rivals any traditional venue, allowing students to dance and celebrate with their favorite music in a spectacular setting.
Premier Party Cruises prioritizes safety for all events, with particular attention to student groups. Our USCG certified captains maintain perfect safety records and ensure professional conduct throughout every cruise. The controlled boat environment provides natural supervision—there are no opportunities for students to wander off or for outsiders to join the event.
All our cruises for student events operate as dry events—no alcohol is permitted. We maintain this policy strictly for any group primarily composed of minors. Parent chaperones are welcome and encouraged to join the cruise. Many parent organizations coordinate prom cruises specifically because the controlled setting provides peace of mind.
Life jackets are provided for all guests and required if any swimming is permitted. Swimming decisions are made by the captain based on conditions and event requirements. Many prom cruises focus on dancing, socializing, and photos rather than water activities, which is perfectly accommodated by our vessels.
Coordinating a prom cruise involves planning similar to any school event. Work with your school administration, parent organization, or student council to establish parameters. Determine guest count, budget, and any school requirements for off-campus events. Once you have these details, contact Premier Party Cruises to discuss availability and pricing.
Many schools coordinate prom cruises as after-prom events rather than the prom itself. This allows students to attend the traditional school-hosted prom, then continue celebrating on Lake Travis. After-prom cruises typically book the Saturday 3:30-7:30pm or evening windows. We can work with your schedule to find optimal timing.
Decorations appropriate for school events are welcome on board. Many groups coordinate with prom themes, school colors, or class-year decorations. Food and non-alcoholic beverages can be brought aboard (cans and plastic containers only, no glass). We can also coordinate catering delivery to the marina for groups wanting full-service food options.
Lake Travis provides an extraordinary backdrop for prom photos that will stand out on social media and in yearbooks. The combination of water, sky, cliffs, and Texas Hill Country scenery creates imagery that traditional venues cannot match. Students naturally capture stunning photos throughout the cruise without elaborate setup or professional equipment.
Many prom groups coordinate professional photographers to document the experience. The unique setting creates portfolio-worthy images that photographers appreciate as much as students do. Golden hour cruises (late afternoon) offer particularly stunning lighting for photography, with warm tones reflecting off the water.
Consider incorporating photo opportunities into your cruise planning. Create a designated photo area with props or decorations. Plan for group photos at scenic moments during the cruise. The captain can anchor in particularly photogenic coves for extended photo sessions. These images become lasting memories of an unforgettable prom experience.
While prom cruises are popular, Premier Party Cruises hosts various school-related events throughout the year. Homecoming celebrations, after-party events, senior class gatherings, and graduation parties all benefit from the Lake Travis setting. Student organizations, sports teams, and school clubs book cruises for end-of-year celebrations and milestone events.
Post-graduation celebrations are particularly popular. As students prepare to head off to college or careers, a Lake Travis cruise provides a memorable send-off. These events allow friend groups to celebrate together one more time before life takes them in different directions.
For school organizations considering Lake Travis for any student event, contact us to discuss your specific needs. We understand the unique requirements of school-related functions and work to ensure appropriate, memorable experiences for student groups.
Can we have a DJ on the boat? Yes! Our premium Bluetooth sound systems connect easily to DJ equipment or personal devices. Many groups hire DJs for prom cruises, while others create curated Spotify playlists. The sound quality rivals traditional venues.
Are chaperones required? We welcome and encourage parent chaperones for student events. Requirements vary by school and organization. The number of chaperones depends on your group's needs and school policies.
Is swimming allowed during prom cruises? Swimming is at the captain's discretion based on conditions and event appropriateness. Many prom cruises focus on dancing and socializing rather than water activities. If swimming is desired, students should bring appropriate attire and towels.
How much does a prom cruise cost? Private charters start at $200 per hour with a 4-hour minimum. Pricing varies by boat size and timing. Contact us for specific pricing based on your group size and date preferences.
What about formal attire on the boat? Formal prom attire works great on our boats. We recommend flat shoes rather than high heels for safety on deck surfaces. Many students bring a change of more casual clothes if swimming or extended celebrating is planned.
