I have a larger party that the boat's capacity. How will cruises work?
Our riverboat has a capacity of 149 passengers. Our weddings frequently have 400 guests or more. To accomodate this, we will typically advise to charter the boat for several hours and to take multiple one hour cruises. Popular choices are to have an earlier cruise for guests who may not stay for the entire evening, a mid evening cruise for everyone, and a late night cruise for the party-all-night crowd. When the guests are aware of the schedule beforehand, they are better capable of choosing the cruise that they can take. Or the bride and groom can even choose to assign guests to certain cruises based on seating arrangements or personal preference.
