The Groove Cruise: A Party At Sea
If you’re interests include dance music, private Bahamian islands, and partying with over 2,200 people on board a cruise ship, we hope you already booked your tickets to Groove Cruise '13 in January. If not, you can still add your name to the wait list and join the rest of us for the names of music artists to be released for this four-day party. In the past, artists on the Groove Cruise have included Deadmau5, Benny Benassi, and
so many more of the biggest names in dance. If you missed the deadline this year and the wait list doesn’t pan out, it’s never too early to start planning for '14.
Duck Tours: An Amphibious BYOB Tour
You’ve seen the half-boat/half-duck bus driving around town and thought to yourself, “I would only be into that if I was drunk.” Well, turns out, that's a possibility. If you aren’t as familiar with the amphibious vehicle,
it’s a literal land and sea tour of South Beach in one transcendent mode of transportation. The actor/comedian guides are full of that kitschy humor a good tour should have. Since it's totally BYOB, you can get a real kick out of how ridiculous it is to be riding around Ocean Drive in a duck ... tipsy.

Mark The Shark: Get Rowdy With River Monsters
On a recent episode of Ice Loves Coco (which we won’t totally confess to watching but won’t full-on deny either),
Coco wanted to prove her natural-born talent as a fisherman, so she turned to the trusted source for shark-hunting, sea-monster gathering, and home of the world’s largest shark jaw collection: Mark The Shark. Mark The Shark charters fishing boats for the bounty-hunting, river-monster adventurer in you. And, you can bring along your own booze. Actually, rumor has it around Mark The Shark headquarters that it’s bad luck if there’s no beer on board.

Biscayne Lady: Go Big, Or Stay Ashore
The classic quince or bar/bat mitzvah cruise makes a comeback as an over-21 shindig with the option to charter a mega-yacht as a waterborne bar. If you’re looking for a way to host a large group of people, send out an invite, and be sure to point out that the dress code is “island cocktail." Biscayne Lady has
been around forever, and their fleet of party yachts ranges from 35 passengers to 360, so we’re pretty sure they’ve got you covered for that ever-expanding guest list. There’s an onboard catering option, so you can have something in your stomach before those 10 Rum Runners are done.
