Planning Your Retirement Party Cruise

Planning a retirement celebration cruise is straightforward with Premier Party Cruises. Start by selecting the boat size that matches your guest count and desired atmosphere. Private charters start at $200 per hour with a 4-hour minimum, with pricing varying by boat size and time of year. Weekend dates are most popular and we recommend booking 6-8 weeks in advance.

Your retirement cruise is fully customizable. Coordinate catering delivery to the marina, arrange for special decorations celebrating the retiree's career, or create a slideshow of career highlights to display. Many retirement groups prepare speeches, tributes, and gifts to present during the cruise. The private setting allows for personal moments without interruption from other guests.

All cruises depart from Anderson Mill Marina at 13993 FM 2769, Leander, TX 78641, approximately 30 minutes from downtown Austin. We recommend guests arrive 30 minutes before departure. The marina offers convenient parking, and our crew will be ready to welcome your group and begin the celebration.

Creating Memorable Retirement Moments

A Lake Travis retirement cruise creates the perfect setting for honoring years of service and dedication. The scenic backdrop provides natural beauty for photos and video, while the relaxed atmosphere encourages guests to share stories and memories. Many retirees tell us the cruise was the highlight of their career transition.

Consider incorporating meaningful elements into your retirement celebration. Display photos from throughout the honoree's career, invite colleagues to share their favorite memories, or present a memory book signed by coworkers. The private, unhurried setting allows time for genuine tributes that might feel rushed in other venues.

Premier Party Cruises has hosted retirement celebrations for companies ranging from small family businesses to major corporations. Our professional crew understands the significance of this milestone and works to ensure every detail contributes to a memorable send-off. With 14+ years of Lake Travis experience and 150,000+ satisfied customers, we take pride in making retirement celebrations truly special.
