The BL is a 111-foot event catamaran built by Austal — an Australian shipbuilder whose engineering heritage comes from fast ferries and defense vessels, applied here to a purpose-built party and event platform capable of accommodating up to 380 guests. At 111 feet long with a 45-foot beam and 8-foot ceiling heights throughout, the BL is built on a fundamentally different scale from the other party vessels in the Miami Boat Charters fleet: the catamaran twin hulls provide the stability of a vessel significantly larger than 111 feet, the 45-foot beam delivers deck widths typically associated with ships rather than yachts, and the 8-foot ceilings give every interior level a hotel-ballroom quality that conventional marine structures at this length cannot match. Three grand decks operate independently with their own audio zones, adjustable lighting, and separate crowd capacities — the main level, the 2nd-level lounge and bar floor, and the open-air sky deck with unobstructed panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and the downtown Miami skyline. For events with 141 to 380 guests where scale, architecture, and per-deck event versatility are the brief, the BL is the only vessel in the fleet that delivers this combination.

BL Party Boat Overview
The BL is configured across three grand deck levels, each designed as an independent event environment with its own function, audio zone, and atmosphere. The main level serves as the dining and reception area — the primary guest arrival floor where food service, initial bar access, and the event’s formal gathering space operate. The second level is the lounge and bar floor, purpose-built for the social and entertainment portion of the event: a DJ can set up on this level, the bar is fully operational, and lounge seating throughout the perimeter gives guests who want to step away from the music a seated space with sightlines to the bay. The third level — the sky deck — is the BL’s most requested area: an open-air upper deck with completely unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay, the Star Island and Hibiscus Island waterfront, and the downtown Miami skyline in all directions. A DJ can also set up on the sky deck for events where the outdoor experience is the primary entertainment environment. The state-of-the-art audio/visual system is independently adjustable per deck — different music genres or different DJ sets can run on the main and 2nd floors simultaneously while the sky deck carries its own audio level, giving event planners genuine flexibility to run multiple crowd experiences in the same event charter. Lighting on every level is dimmable and adjustable to match the event’s progression from reception through dinner to dancing. The Austal catamaran hull design delivers stability at anchor and at cruise speed that monohull party boats of comparable length cannot match, giving 380 guests a genuinely comfortable experience in a range of Biscayne Bay conditions.
Why Book the BL Party Boat for Your Miami Event?
The BL is the right choice when the guest count exceeds what any other vessel in the Miami Boat Charters party fleet can accommodate. The VL Party Boat handles 140 guests with two dance floors. The BL handles up to 380 guests across three grand decks with per-level audio customization. At that scale, the vessel architecture — Austal catamaran twin hulls, 45-foot beam, 8-foot ceiling heights — is the event venue, not just the transportation. The three-deck configuration means an event for 300 guests can run a reception on the main level, a DJ and dancing format on the 2nd floor, and sunset cocktails on the sky deck simultaneously without the crowd from any zone spilling into another. The per-level audio control and per-level lighting dimming give the event coordinator more atmosphere control tools than a fixed-format single-floor party boat provides. For large corporate galas, convention after-parties, major milestone celebrations, large wedding receptions, bar and bat mitzvahs for extended families, and graduation events at scale, the BL provides the capacity, the layout, and the technology to run a structured multi-zone event on the water. Contact (305) 401-2707 or email info@miamiboatcharters.com for availability and a complete event proposal.
The BL departs from Sea Isles Marina (1635 North Bayshore Drive, Miami) and cruises the Star Island, Palm Island, and Hibiscus Island celebrity home corridor on Biscayne Bay before the downtown Miami skyline sunset return. At 380-person capacity, the BL is the only vessel in the fleet that allows the full crowd of a major corporate or social event to gather on the water simultaneously — no splitting across multiple vessels or staggered boarding required. The skilled chef catering team prepares all food fresh from scratch aboard the vessel on the day of the event using the pre-selected menu, with open bar or cash bar service available on all three levels. Standard decor and linens are included, with decor upgrade packages available for branded or themed events. DJ services, photographer, and videographer are available as add-ons or event organizers can bring their own. Additional charter hours beyond the 4-hour minimum are available at extra cost per hour.

Frequently Asked Questions — BL Party Boat Miami
Everything you need to know before booking the BL Party Boat for your Miami event.
The BL Party Boat accommodates up to 380 guests across three grand decks — main level dining and reception, 2nd-level lounge and bar, and open-air sky deck. At 380-person capacity, the BL is the largest single event vessel in the Miami Boat Charters fleet. Contact our team at (305) 401-2707 to confirm current certified capacity and discuss the deck-by-deck layout for your specific guest count and event format.
The BL and VL are both multi-deck party boats with per-level audio zones and DJ capabilities. The primary difference is scale: the BL accommodates up to 380 guests versus the VL's 140. The BL is built by Austal on a catamaran hull platform with a 45-foot beam and 8-foot ceiling heights — giving the interior the proportions of a hotel event venue rather than a conventional marine party vessel. The BL has three decks including a full open-air sky deck with panoramic unobstructed views. The VL has two dance floors and two full bars in a 130-foot format. For events under 140 guests, the VL is the appropriate choice. For events of 141 to 380 guests, the BL is the only vessel in the fleet that covers the scale.
Yes — the BL's state-of-the-art audio/visual system is independently controllable per deck. The main level, 2nd-level lounge and bar, and sky deck can each run different audio programs at the same time. A corporate event can run background jazz on the main reception level while the 2nd-floor bar runs a DJ set. A celebration event can have different music genres on the indoor level and the outdoor sky deck simultaneously. The lighting is also independently dimmable and adjustable per level, allowing the atmosphere to shift across the three decks without interrupting the full event flow.
Austal is an Australian shipbuilder whose engineering specializes in aluminum catamaran design for fast ferries and defense vessels. The BL's catamaran twin-hull configuration provides the lateral stability of a vessel significantly larger than 111 feet — critical when 380 guests are moving between decks, dancing, and gathering at the rail. At the BL's 45-foot beam, the deck widths are wider than most dedicated event halls ashore at the same linear footage, and the 8-foot ceiling heights eliminate the compressed, low-headroom feel of standard marine party vessels. The Austal catamaran construction makes the BL the most stable large-event platform available for charter in Miami.
The BL charter package includes the vessel and full professional crew for the full charter duration, skilled chefs preparing all food fresh from scratch aboard the vessel using your pre-selected menu, full open bar service or cash bar at your preference, standard decor and linens on all three decks, state-of-the-art AV system with per-level audio and lighting control, and fuel for the Biscayne Bay cruise route. Add-ons available include DJ services, photographer and videographer services, custom branded decor and upgrade packages, and additional charter hours beyond the 4-hour minimum. Contact our event team for a complete itemized proposal for your event.
The BL Party Boat is specifically designed for events where the guest count and the scale of the on-water venue are the lead requirements: large corporate galas and convention after-parties for 150 to 380 attendees, major milestone birthday and anniversary celebrations for extended friend and family networks, large wedding receptions where the full guest list can gather on a single vessel rather than splitting across multiple boats, bar and bat mitzvahs with complete family attendance, graduation events for large classes with families, and branded event productions where the three-deck architecture and per-level AV control allow distinct zones — cocktail, dinner, and entertainment — to run simultaneously. Contact (305) 401-2707 to discuss your event date, format, and guest count for a complete charter proposal.
