Create a Theme

Having a theme helps guests to get into the spirit of the occasion and lets you decorate your pontoon boat, serve food, select music, and organize games that complement it. 

Check the Weather Forecast

Rain and storm can ruin your party and force you to return to the shore earlier than you might think. To avoid this, keep tabs on your local weather predictions and avoid getting nasty surprises on the water.

Have a Back-Up Plan

A fallback option is handy if you have to delay your outing or postpone it at the last minute. You can have the party at your house, a friend’s house, or some preferred location. This way, you can prevent wasting food and spoiling mood by having a contingency plan.

Bring Safety Equipment for Everyone

As a responsible boater, you will want to bring safety equipment for each passenger onboard your vessel. This includes safety vests, personal flotation devices, and a well-stocked first-aid kit. Let your guests know where they can find the safety equipment and make them aware of the safe boating rules.

Inspect Your Pontoon Boat

More importantly, you will want to examine your vessel thoroughly before departure. Check the hull for cracks and ensure that the electrical system, steering, and other controls function smoothly. You will also want to check and change the oil and filter and fill up your fuel tank before leaving the dock.
