4 Best Boat Party Games To Play With Large Groups

Games are popular activities for people renting a party boat. However, it’s usually more fun to find something that suits the environment and takes advantage of being out in the open air. If you’re throwing a boat shindig, here are four of the best boat party games to play with large groups from ATX Party Boats.

Cup Pong

Cup Pong is a classic game played at parties around the world. You set up a triangle consisting of 10 cups on each side of the table and fill them with a beverage of your choice. After splitting into teams, players take turns trying to bounce a ping-pong ball into the opponent’s cup.

If they make the shot, a member of the other team has to drink the contents of the cup. A traditional drink for this game is beer, but always remember to drink responsibly and let your captain handle operating the boat.

Karaoke Contest

Few things are more liberating than being out in the open and belting out your favorite karaoke tracks. While not a game in the traditional sense, it’s a good activity that works for large groups since everybody can get a turn to sing or simply choose to sit back and listen.

Groups may try to make karaoke more engaging by turning it into a singing contest, allowing a guest of honor or even the captain to designate a winner.

Giant Jenga

One of the best boat party games to play with large groups is giant Jenga. This familiar take on the beloved tabletop experience works great out on a lake. Players take turns trying to carefully remove blocks from a tower without the whole structure falling down. It’s good fun when you know the gently rocking water can cause the entire tower to fall, adding an extra touch of chaos to what is already a fun experience.

Water Basketball

Since you’re out on the water, there’s no reason why you can’t dive in and set up a floating basketball hoop. If guests know ahead of time to bring their swimsuits, a game of water basketball gives everyone a chance to swim and play. Depending on how many people you have, you may have better luck hosting a short tournament with different teams instead of one big game.
