You’re floating on Charleston’s gorgeous waterways, drink in hand, music in the background, and laughter filling the air. But what really takes a booze cruise from fun to unforgettable? It’s all about the games.
Whether you’re celebrating a bachelorette party, kicking back with friends, or turning a team-building event into an epic adventure (hello, corporate yacht charters), the right games can create memories that last long after you’ve docked.
So let’s dive into the best games to bring energy, laughter, and maybe a little friendly competition to your booze cruise.
Drinking Games with a Twist
No booze cruise is complete without some classic drinking games. With the water as your backdrop, these games feel even more exciting.
Boat Beer Pong
Think beer pong but adapted for the waves. Use a floating beer pong set that can handle the gentle rocking of the boat, and watch as players try to sink their shots.
Pro tip: Keep a backup ball handy in case one goes overboard!
Flip Cup Championship
Flip cup is a crowd favorite, and the confined space of a boat keeps the energy high. Divide into teams and see who can flip their cups the fastest. Add a few Charleston-themed prizes for the winners to make it even more competitive.
Never Have I Ever
This conversational classic is perfect for a booze cruise. The relaxed setting encourages everyone to let their guard down and get to know each other better. It’s also a great way to spark laughter and learn a few surprises about your crew.
Group Games for Laughter and Bonding
Not everyone loves drinking games, and that’s okay. These group-friendly options keep the fun going for everyone on board.
Trivia with a Local Twist
Test your knowledge with trivia questions about Charleston, boating, or even pop culture. Split into teams and let the competition heat up. You can even add fun penalties like “the losing team has to grab the next round of drinks.”
Karaoke Battle
Most booze cruises include a solid playlist, but why not let your group take the stage? With a Bluetooth stereo system on board, you can crank up the tunes and host a karaoke battle. The water might even help drown out those off-key notes!
Would You Rather
Would You Rather is simple to play, requires no setup, and always brings laughs. Keep it light and funny—questions about Charleston landmarks or boat life can add a local flair.
Games with Physical Fun
For the active bunch, these games add a bit of movement to your booze cruise.
Paddle Ball Challenge
If your booze cruise allows swimming, bring along paddle ball paddles and set up a mini competition on a sandbar or in shallow water. It’s the perfect excuse to cool off while keeping the fun going.
Limbo on Deck
Who says you need a dance floor for a good game of limbo? Use a broomstick, oar, or whatever you have on board to see who can go the lowest. Add music for extra energy, and let the competition begin.
Deck Ring Toss
This boat-friendly spin-on ring toss is easy to set up and fun for all ages. Use weighted rings to avoid the hassle of chasing after stray tosses, and create a leaderboard to see who reigns supreme.
Icebreaker Games for Corporate Yacht Charters
Booze cruises aren’t just for parties. They’re also a fantastic setting for team-building on corporate yacht charters. These icebreaker games are perfect for breaking down barriers and building connections.
Two Truths and a Lie
Simple, effective, and always entertaining. This classic game helps team members share fun facts about themselves while keeping the vibe relaxed and playful.
Team Scavenger Hunt
Create a list of items or tasks related to the cruise—like spotting dolphins, naming a Charleston landmark, or taking a creative group photo. Team members can collaborate and bond as they complete each task.
“What’s in Your Wallet?”
This quirky game is great for quick laughs. Divide into teams and have players pull out unusual items from their wallets or purses, earning points for the most unexpected finds.
Why Games Make Booze Cruises Better
Games add structure, interaction, and excitement to any booze cruise. They break the ice for newcomers, keep everyone engaged, and create lasting memories for your group. Whether you’re planning a laid-back afternoon or a high-energy celebration, having a lineup of games ensures no dull moments.
