TAKE THE PARTY OFF THE ISLAND
Private Boat Charters in Galveston
You’ve done the restaurant. You’ve booked the conference room. You’ve gathered everyone at the house. This time, do something they’ll actually talk about afterward.
A private charter with Island Tours of Galveston gives your group an exclusive experience on the water with the sights and atmosphere of Galveston Bay surrounding you. No strangers joining your group. No fighting over a table. No trying to find an activity that everyone can enjoy. Just your people, your occasion, and some time on the water.
1–3 Hours · By Reservation · Departs Pier 19 · Capacity 29
THERE'S ALWAYS A REASON TO GET ON THE WATER
What Are You Celebrating?
Birthdays
Skip the same birthday dinner you’ve done every year. Bring your favorite people aboard, cruise Galveston Bay, and celebrate another trip around the sun somewhere a little more memorable.
- Milestone Birthdays
- Family Celebrations
- Friend Groups
Corporate Outings & Team Celebrations
You can only build so much team spirit around a conference table. A private charter gives your team a chance to step away from work and relax together.
- Team celebrations
- Leadership outings
- Company milestones
- Holiday gatherings
Client Appreciation Events
Your best clients probably don’t need another coffee mug. Give them an experience instead, relaxed enough to enjoy, memorable enough to stand out.
- Client appreciation
- VIP entertainment
- Referral partner events
- Closing celebrations
Family Gatherings
Family visiting Galveston? Bring everyone together on the water — your own space to reconnect without squeezing another chair around the dinner table.
- Family reunions
- Vacation groups
- 'Just because we're all finally together' days
Anniversaries & Special Occasions
Some moments deserve a better backdrop. Celebrate an anniversary, engagement, or milestone surrounded by Galveston Bay instead of four restaurant walls.

YOUR CHARTER, YOUR EXPERIENCE
Tell Us What You Have in Mind
No two groups are exactly alike, and your private charter doesn’t have to feel like a standard public tour. When you contact our crew, tell us:
- What you're celebrating
- Your preferred date
- Approximate group size
- How much time you'd like on the water
- Whether you're interested in dolphins, sightseeing, sunset views, or simply cruising Galveston Bay
- Any special details we should know about your group
We’ll help you determine which charter option makes the most sense for your occasion.
WHY HOST YOUR EVENT ON GALVESTON BAY?
