It may come as a surprise to many of you, but I experienced my first booze cruise recently, in Nicaragua. That is correct, I had never before gone on a boat with the sole purpose of getting drunk.
It wasn’t what I was expecting, but it was still awesome. For some reason I thought the boat was going to be massive, but then I remembered I was in Nicaragua and they probably don’t have too many yachts to tour us around on. So I hopped on the tiny boat and got myself a beer.
Stories from the last booze cruise were slightly terrifying, as everyone was incoherently drunk by 5pm when they got back to the hostel. One guy even passed out on the hostel stairs for the majority of the night, until someone help carry him to his room.
Unfortunately, no one passed out on the stairs after and we didn’t manage to drink the boat dry as we planned, but we did put a good dent in the booze, which made for quite a delightful cruise. See what I did there? I made a rhyme… You’re welcome.
It was only $20 and all you could drink rum and beer for 3 ish hours. (Hogga’s seal of approval)
It also had a funnel with 4 tubes. Which was obviously amazeballs.
The sound system also had an iPod hook up and there was a dance party that took place. Well, other people danced, i just tried to hold on and not fall down.
PS, peeing off the back of the boat is easier than it looks.

I’ve never been on one either… *hangs head in shame*
I’ll sit with you in a kiddie pool and get drunk this summer… close enough.
You had enough space for dance party on that boat? 🙂
there is ALWAYS room for a dance party
I went on a similar cruise once…don’t remember much of it…:)
This is an amazing story and a fantastic thing to share with people. A lot of travelers will want to know about this.
If you had been on university water ski team, you would be very familiar with booze cruises 🙂
I suck at water sports… other than jumping in waves. If it was a sport I would have a gold medal!
I have been on a few and I must say your boat is kinda small…
Glad it wasnt just me thinking that then!
Booze cruises always scare me because of the prospect of getting stuck on a boat with a bunch of drunk people who you really don’t like!
