Pick the right boat for your Jaguars boat tailgate

Every boat is private, with a USCG-licensed captain included. Each pick below says why it suits this trip. A boat tailgate on the St. Johns River keeps your group near EverBank Stadium with your own shade, seats and restroom instead of a parking lot. Tell us the game and your group size, and we will suggest the boat and the start time. Watching on TV instead? The tiki boat can make a sandbar party on the Intracoastal before kickoff.

How to choose

For game day, two things matter most: room for the group and a restroom. The 30 ft cruiser and the 44 ft Sea Ray both have one, which you will appreciate by the third quarter.

Questions

Your Jaguars boat tailgate questions, answered

Can you take a boat to a Jaguars game?
Yes. EverBank Stadium sits right on the St. Johns River, and the new Met Park Marina next to the stadium opened in August 2026 with 78 slips. Game weekends fill fast, so reserve early or book a private charter that handles the boating for you.
How many people can come on a Jaguars boat tailgate?
Up to 10 guests on the 30 ft cruiser and up to 12 on the 44 ft Sea Ray, plus your licensed captain. Both boats have an onboard restroom, which matters on a long game day.
How much does a game-day boat charter cost?
The 30 ft cruiser is $2,403 for 4 hours, $3,031 for 6 hours and $3,502 for 8 hours. The 44 ft Sea Ray is $2,074 for 4 hours and $3,025 for 6 hours. Sales tax is added.
Which boat is best for a boat tailgate?
The 30 ft cruiser is our downtown boat. It boards at Sadler Point Marina, with Friendship Fountain pickup by request, and takes up to 10. The 44 ft Sea Ray takes the biggest group, up to 12. Both have an onboard restroom.
What should we bring for a boat tailgate?
Bring a cooler with drinks and snacks, team gear, sunscreen and soft-soled shoes. If you plan to bring alcohol, mention it when you book so your captain can confirm the rules for your trip.
What if the weather turns on game day?
Your captain makes the weather call. If we cancel for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date. If your group needs to cancel, trips cancelled more than 5 days ahead are refundable, less a 3% processing fee. Kickoff times can also move, so check the schedule again in game week and tell us if your plans change.
Do you drop us off at the stadium?
It depends on dock space on your game date. Tell us the game and your plans when you book, and your captain will confirm where the boat can tie up or anchor and how your group gets to the gates.
