This was a great experience. This was my first time on a party boat. I met so many nice people and joined a family. The crabs, shrimp, corn and desserts were delicious. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys shellfish.
The crew at Maryland Party Boat helped us to have the PERFECT wedding day! We cannot recommend this charter enough!!! MPB helped us to plan a truly unique and affordable wedding that was perfect for us. Ashley, the First Mate/Wedding Coordinator/Caterer (Norris North Catering) was so responsive and truly cared about making our day special. She went above and beyond to get the perfect decor, DJ, photographer/videographer and program for us; we are so grateful for her and her hard work. Captain Casey, T the bartender, Alex, DJ Z, and the rest of the crew were such genuinely kind people. We felt right at home on their vessel. My husband and I planned this wedding in less than 2 months and it was so simple since MPB handled pretty much everything. All of our guests loved the food, drinks, and music. I'll close out this review with some of the comments from our guests: "That was the most original, unique, and coolest wedding I've ever been to." "The best wedding I've attended with some of the nicest people I know, and have met. What a day." Thank you, thank you, thank you! Can't wait to sail with you all again.
Our first time and it will not be our last. We attended the Sunday all you can eat crab and shrimp dinner. The crew was absolutely amazing and it was awesome to see the younger kid crew members working hard to make the experience even more enjoyable. Their parents are definitely teaching them good work ethics.
I chartered the party boat on 10/6/23. I lost the love of my life after 52 years. He did not want a funeral so we had a party to celebrate his love of life! We live on the river & he loved to see the boat with all the neon lights! Captain Ron, T ( fabulous bartender) & the entire crew were amazing! The decor, the food, the cocktails, the house DJ & everything about our four hour cruise was great! The best thing about it all was that it was easy for me. They took care of absolutely every detail. Sixty friends & family members boarded the boat & had a fun filled evening making new memories!
Went for Christmas boat parade cruise on Saturday Nov 26th. It was a fantastic experience. The boat owners took great pride in decorating. The Maryland Party Boat Charter and crew hosted a great evening of food, beverage and pleasure at a great value.
