Where to Stay for a Palm Beach Bachelorette Weekend

Skip the generic bar crawl. Build a Palm Beach bachelorette weekend around a private wake-boat day — here's where to stay and how to plan it.

Planning a bachelorette weekend in Palm Beach County? Skip the generic bar crawl and build the whole weekend around one unforgettable centerpiece: a private wake-boat day. A sunset cruise with champagne, a wakesurf session for the crew, or a sandbar afternoon with a grill-out — it's the photo op and the memory the bride will actually keep. Here's where to stay and how to plan a bachelorette that hits different.

The centerpiece: a private wake-boat day

Book the boat first and plan everything else around it. The whole boat is yours and your captain handles the driving, so the group can relax, ride, and celebrate. A few ways bachelorette crews use us:

No experience needed and the boat, boards, and life jackets are all included. See the full lineup on our charter experiences page.

Where to stay

Match the hotel to the vibe of your group — nightlife-forward, laid-back-historic, or full luxury.

The Ray Hotel, Delray Beach

For a stylish, nightlife-adjacent weekend, The Ray Hotel in Delray's Pineapple Grove is walkable to all of Atlantic Avenue and has one of the best rooftop scenes in town — an easy win for a bachelorette that wants to dance after dinner.

The Gulfstream Hotel, Lake Worth Beach

Want character and a more relaxed, Old-Florida feel? The historic Gulfstream Hotel in downtown Lake Worth Beach sits by the Intracoastal, close to the beach and walkable restaurants, and it's a short drive to our lake launch.

The Seagate, Delray Beach

For the splurge, The Seagate pairs an upscale downtown hotel with a private beach club — space to spread out, pool time, and a polished home base for the whole group.

Let a planner handle the details

If you'd rather not coordinate every dinner reservation and activity yourself, the planners at Bach Me specialize in bachelorette weekends and can stitch the itinerary together. We're happy to slot the boat day into whatever they've built.

The boat day is what turns a normal weekend into the weekend — and it photographs beautifully.

Book the boat first

Bachelorette Saturdays fill up fast in season, so lock the charter in before you finalize the rest. Tell us your date and group size and we'll get you on the water. Call or text (561) 475-8615, or reserve your charter online. Want a boat owner in the group to value or service their wake boat while they're in town? We do that too.

Danny Bivins — Owner & Captain

I own and captain a MasterCraft X30 out of Lantana and ride Lake Osborne, Lake Ida and the Intracoastal just about every week. This guide comes from actually owning, riding and chartering these boats here — not a content mill. Questions, or want to come ride? Text me at (561) 475-8615 or book a charter.

Frequently asked

How much does a bachelorette wake-boat charter cost?+

By the boat: a sunset cruise is $449, a 2-hour wakesurf session is $549, a half-day is $899, and a full-day is custom-priced. The whole boat is private to your group and the captain, boards, and life jackets are included.

Which charter is best for a bachelorette group?+

The sunset cruise is the easy crowd-pleaser for champagne and photos, while a half-day lets you mix wakesurfing with a sandbar stop. If the group wants to make a full day of it, the full-day charter gives you the most time on the water.

Where should a bachelorette group stay in Palm Beach?+

For nightlife and walkability, The Ray Hotel in Delray is a strong pick. The Gulfstream Hotel in Lake Worth Beach offers historic character near the Intracoastal, and The Seagate is the luxury option with a private beach club.

Do we need to know how to wakesurf?+

Not at all. The freshwater lakes are calm and beginner-friendly, and your captain coaches the group from the boat. Most first-timers are up and riding within a session, so everyone can take a turn.
