Private Booze Cruisers – The New Must-Have Toy for Cashed Up Millennials

  • Written by Modern Australian


Did you hear that your 30s are the new 20s? We’ve finally rocked up that adult money and now it’s time to play with it.

I was going for a walk one afternoon and set my eyes on a bunch of 30-somethings having the best time with a few bottles of wine floating on the Noosa River. Feeling a bit of FOMO, I looked it up to find they were using a pontoon boat. I just had to have one.

Let’s be honest, we’re not all that interested anymore in dancing in sweaty clubs and having to be blackout drunk to enjoy it. Our taste buds have matured, and we now crave a glass of sauvignon blanc and a fancy cheeseboard. 

Luxury items like pontoon boats are about embracing the joys of life, making memories and treating yourself. We deserve it.

What’s a Pontoon Boat?

A pontoon boat has a flat deck with seating and furniture placed all around it. They float atop hollow tubes in more of a rectangular shape than your usual V-shape hull. They are stable and convenient boats made for canals, lakes, shallow waters and other calm bodies of water.

A lot of people use their pontoon boats as a private version of a party boat. And it does a great job of it. You can also start and stop at any time because now you’re the captain.

Do you want to know the best secret to pontoon boats? You can get all the luxury your lifestyle desires and they don’t even cost that much.

Why Pontoon Boats Over Other Boats?

Pontoon boats are specifically designed for cruising and taking the slow lane. Some will fish and chat, others will have a few drinks at the table and play cards, a couple of outdoor lovers will go for a swim and your friend with the good tan will sunbake on a lounge. 

But they don’t just have to be for relaxation. Your pontoon boat is your ticket to a luxurious and exclusive party with your closest friends. They’re more spacious and stable than the regular fishing boats that you take out to open waters.

Of course, there’s more to it than that. The pontoon boat lifestyle can continue as kids come along. We can’t forget that everyone is having kids in their 30s now! With great developments in their technology, pontoon boats can be used for watersports like tubing and wakeboarding. The kids will have awesome stories to brag about at school after the summer holidays are over.

The Pontoon Boat Lifestyle

Pontoon boats offer both a lifestyle and an aesthetic. Whether you’re an influencer that documents your luxuries on TikTok or you just love to snap something for Instagram, your pontoon boat will sparkle.

It’s time for a new lifestyle purchase with a pontoon boat. Nothing sounds more fun than your own private booze cruise. Would you rather suffer from FOMO or be the cause of it in others?
