Boat Parade of Lights Cruise

Set sail this holiday season and join us aboard our 120-passenger boat as we become part of Panama City’s beloved 38th Annual Boat Parade of Lights! As boat #12 in the lineup, we’ll bring the holiday spirit to life with dazzling lights, festive decorations, and breathtaking views of the illuminated St. Andrews Bay.

      Event Details:
      Date: Saturday, December 14, 2024
      Time: 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM

Route: We will leave the Papa Joe's dock promptly at 4:30 pm and head to the St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club to get in the parade lineup. From there, our cruise will journey westward along the shoreline, passing Historic Downtown Panama City, the Panama City Marina, West Beach Drive, St. Andrews Marina, Papa Joe's Bayside, and ending at the Hathaway Bridge and then returning to the Papa Joe's dock.

As part of this cherished community tradition, you’ll enjoy front-row seats to the magical winter wonderland created by a fleet of brilliantly lit boats. With holiday music, festive cheer, and the shimmering waters of St. Andrews Bay, this is an unforgettable way to celebrate the season.

Don’t miss the additional festivities at Papa Joe's Merry and Bright Bayside Night featuring holiday-themed crafts for the children, holiday vendors, live music, and a visit from Santa!
