Bachelorette party this weekend

Having a bachelorette party this weekend for a friend staying in Saint Pete and looked into Salty Mermaid and Tiki boat however, with it being chilly does anyone have any other suggestions? Would like to go on a boat which is enclosed/heated, thinking comedy show, bars, nice dinners, and speakeasies. Open to Clearwater, St. Pete, and Tampa. Thanks!

For a bachelorette party in the Tampa Bay area this weekend, with cooler weather limiting traditional open-air boat options, there are still plenty of fun alternatives. You can combine indoor or climate-controlled activities with evening dining, drinks, and entertainment.

  • Private Yacht Charters: Chartering a small private yacht with a heated cabin is another option. These often come with a crew, snacks, and drinks, and you can customize your route and timing.
