Sip N’ Slip Tours operates one of the most unique and versatile party boats in Sarasota and Siesta Key, purpose-built for private group experiences on the water. Our spacious tritoon party boat is designed to deliver unforgettable outings for bachelorette parties, sandbar trips, booze cruises, sunset cruises, wildlife and dolphin seeking tours, and group celebrations of all kinds. From high-energy parties to laid-back scenic cruising, our vessel adapts to the vibe your group wants.
Unlike standard pontoon rentals or overcrowded tour boats, Sip N’ Slip offers a private party boat experience with features that immediately set us apart from the competition. Our boat includes a mounted waterslide and trampoline, making it one of the most fun boats in the Sarasota and Siesta Key area. These features transform a typical boat day into an interactive, resort-style experience, whether you’re anchored at a sandbar or floating in calm coastal waters. With ample seating, shaded areas, and a premium Bluetooth sound system, your group can relax, dance, and celebrate comfortably throughout the trip.
Sip N’ Slip Tours is especially popular for bachelorette party boat outings, where space, music, and unique amenities matter. Our party boat provides the perfect floating venue for celebrating a bride-to-be, capturing unforgettable photos, and enjoying a true booze cruise atmosphere on the water. For guests seeking relaxation, our vessel also excels as a sunset cruise boat, offering smooth cruising and open views as the sun sets over Sarasota’s waterways.
For nature lovers and families, our boat is equally well-suited for wildlife and dolphin seeking tours. The stable tritoon design allows for slow, comfortable cruising along the Intracoastal Waterway, making it easy to spot dolphins, manatees, and coastal birds. Wide sightlines and a spacious layout ensure every guest has a great view without crowding.
What truly makes Sip N’ Slip better than the competition is the combination of private tours only, a purpose-built party boat, and a focus on experience rather than simple transportation. We don’t offer shared rides or generic boat rentals — every trip is tailored to your group. Whether you’re planning a sandbar adventure, a lively booze cruise, a scenic sunset, or a dolphin-watching experience, Sip N’ Slip Tours delivers one of the most memorable boat experiences in Sarasota and Siesta Key.
Sip N’ Slip Tours proudly introduces our brand-new Sea Ray 255 SLX, a premium sport boat designed for guests looking for a sleek, powerful, and comfortable way to experience Sarasota and Siesta Key. This vessel expands our lineup with a refined, performance-driven option while still delivering the fun, social atmosphere Sip N’ Slip is known for. The Sea Ray 255 SLX is ideal for bachelor and bachelorette parties, tubing, bar crawls, booze cruises, sunset cruises, sandbar stops, and wildlife and dolphin seeking tours.
Built by Sea Ray—one of the most respected boat manufacturers in the world—the 255 SLX is known for its smooth ride, upscale finishes, and intelligent layout. Unlike basic rental boats or older pontoons, this vessel features a deep-V hull that handles Sarasota’s coastal waters with ease, delivering a more comfortable and confident ride for your entire group. Plush seating throughout the boat allows guests to spread out, relax, and socialize while cruising between destinations.
One of the standout features of the Sea Ray 255 SLX is the fully enclosed onboard bathroom, a rare and highly sought-after amenity for day boats in this class. Having a bathroom onboard makes longer trips, bachelor and bachelorette party outings, bar crawls, and extended booze cruises significantly more comfortable. This feature alone sets the Sea Ray 255 SLX apart from many competitors and eliminates the inconvenience of cutting trips short or searching for onshore facilities.
The Sea Ray 255 SLX is an excellent choice for bachelor and bachelorette parties looking for a more polished, upscale party boat experience. With spacious seating, a smooth ride, and premium comfort, it offers the perfect balance of celebration and class. Groups can enjoy music, drinks, and cruising between waterfront bars or scenic spots without feeling crowded or restricted.
For more active groups, this vessel is also perfectly suited for tubing and water sports, delivering the power and performance needed for high-energy fun while still maintaining a social atmosphere onboard. When the vibe shifts, the boat transitions effortlessly into a relaxing sunset cruise or wildlife and dolphin seeking tour, offering excellent visibility and a calm, enjoyable ride along the Intracoastal Waterway.
Compared to standard rental boats, the Sea Ray 255 SLX delivers a noticeably more premium experience. When paired with Sip N’ Slip’s signature party boat, this vessel gives guests the flexibility to choose between a high-energy floating playground or a sleek, luxury-leaning sport boat—both offered as private experiences designed to be better, more comfortable, and more memorable than the competition.
