Family Party & Reunion Charter Cruises

Celebrate Together on the Water

There is something magical about gathering family on the river at sunset. Island Style Charters offers a warm, private, and unforgettable venue aboard a tiki-style boat, where Portland’s skyline, bridges, and waterfront become the backdrop for your celebration.

Our vessel can accomodate up to 48 passengers, has an onboard bar, restroom, flexible seating and ample open floor space so there is plenty of room to present, mingle, play games or all of the above!

Prices vary depending on a number of factors such as date, time, cruise length and various customizations.  Please email us or fill out our online form with your group details for a price quote.  We’d love to hear from you!

Whether you’re hosting a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or multi-generational family reunion, the atmosphere on the water is relaxed, joyful, and filled with laughter, connection, and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Your Private Floating Venue

As soon as your group steps aboard, the celebration begins. The entire boat is reserved for your party, with room to mingle, share stories, play games, and take photos that capture the fun.

A family party or reunion cruise includes:

• A scenic journey along the Willamette River

• Options for birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, and special occasions

• Beautiful sunset and golden-hour views

• A fully stocked bar with cocktails, beer, wine, and mocktails

• Custom playlists, music, or live entertainment

• Optional decorations and themed setup

• Plenty of open space for photos, seating, and celebration

Every corner of the boat offers a great backdrop. Family photos, candid moments, and milestone memories happen naturally on the water.

A Celebration Tailored to Your Family

No two families celebrate the same way. We build your cruise around the mood and traditions you want to include.

Some outings are quiet and sentimental, with storytelling, thoughtful toasts, and time together. Others are lively, playful, and filled with music, games, and big group laughter.

We adapt to your event:

• Birthday parties

• Anniversaries and milestones

• Family reunions

• Graduation celebrations

• Multi-generation gatherings

• Seasonal and holiday outings

The boat becomes your private gathering place, surrounded by the city, the river, and the sunset.

A Sunset Experience Like No Other

As evening arrives, the sky changes color and the river becomes reflective and calm. Buildings shimmer across the water, bridges glow, and the light shifts from bright gold to deep blue.

This setting creates memories that feel special:

• Toasts on deck at golden hour

• Group photos against the skyline

• Shared stories under a glowing sky

• A gentle cruise as the lights of Portland begin to shine

It is warm, vibrant, and impossible to duplicate on land.

Make Your Celebration Truly Unforgettable

If you are looking for a venue that feels private, festive, and full of joy, an Island Style Charters cruise is the perfect choice. Your family will remember the experience long after the night is over.
