Let’s Get Started

Ready to join the Palapa Partnership Program and make waves together? Let’s connect and get your personalized promo code set up today. Whether you’re a local business or an individual looking to share the love, we’re excited to welcome you on board.

🌺 See you on the water… Mahalo! 🌊

At Palapa Tours, we don’t just navigate waterways—we’re all about making waves in our community! Each year, we’re proud to contribute over $10,000 in gift certificates to support local charities and organizations. It’s our way of helping you raise funds, create unforgettable experiences, and make a real difference.

But here’s the thing: as a small business, these contributions aren’t without their challenges. Our costs for staff, maintenance, and equipment don’t magically disappear (we wish!). Even so, we’re committed to staying afloat and giving back to the community that supports us.

So, how can we team up to make an even bigger splash? We’ve got some exciting ways to partner with your organization:

1. A Gift Certificate for Your Fundraising Efforts

This year, we’ll donate a Palapa Tours gift certificate to help your organization reach its goals. Whether it’s a silent auction or a raffle, we want to add a little tropical flair to your event!

1. Your Own Promo Code

Get your network excited with a 10% discount! We’ll create a custom promo code just for your group, so your supporters can enjoy a discounted adventure while helping your cause.

1. Bigger Impact, Bigger Rewards

Here’s the fun part: we’ll track how many bookings come through your promo code over the year. The more your community books with us, the more we can give back next year! It’s a win-win partnership that grows with every adventure.

Let’s Make it Official!

We want to celebrate you! Send us a thank-you letter and your organization’s logo, and we’ll proudly feature you on our website as a community partner.

Why We Do It

Supporting local charities and organizations is at the heart of what we do. From the laughter of families enjoying their first boat ride to the excitement of fundraising events, we know our small contribution can create big moments that last a lifetime.

So, what do you say? Let’s ride the wave of giving together and make this year the best one yet. With Palapa Tours by your side, the future looks bright, and the possibilities are endless!

Have you ever dreamed of setting sail on a themed cruise with your friends and fellow enthusiasts? Whether you’re a die-hard Taylor Swift fan or a board game aficionado, Palapa Tours offers you the chance to cruise for free by organizing your very own Meetup Cruise. Here’s how you can make it happen:

Step 1: Choose Your Theme

The first step is to decide on a theme that excites you and will attract like-minded individuals. It could be anything from a “Swifty Cruise” for Taylor Swift fans to a “Board Game Bonanza” on the water. The possibilities are endless!

Step 2: Create Your Group

Once you’ve settled on a theme, create a group on platforms like Meetup.com or Facebook. This will be your hub for gathering interested participants and sharing details about the cruise.

Step 3: Book Your Charter

With Palapa Tours, you can book a full boat charter at a price equivalent to 10 seats. For example, from Sunday to Friday, a 12-seat cruise would typically cost $780 if purchased individually. However, the charter price is only $650.

Step 4: Promote and Sell Tickets

Promote your cruise within your group and sell 11 tickets at the regular price. For a weekday cruise, you can sell each seat for $65. Here’s the math:

• 11 seats x $65 = $715
• Charter cost = $650
• Profit = $65

Not only do you cruise for free, but you also pocket $65 for drinks!

Step 5: Enjoy Your Cruise

On Friday nights and Saturdays, the stakes are even higher. A 12-seat cruise would cost $960 individually, but the charter price is $800. Sell each seat for $80:

• 11 seats x $80 = $880
• Charter cost = $800
• Profit = $80

Enjoy your themed cruise, meet new friends, and sip on your favorite drinks—all while cruising for free and earning a little extra! We’ll customize the music to perfectly match your theme. Our giant screen on board is available too. 🎶🎥

Final Thoughts

Hosting a themed Meetup Cruise with Palapa Tours is a fantastic way to enjoy a unique experience without breaking the bank. So gather your friends, set sail, and make unforgettable memories on the water. Ready to start planning your cruise? Get in touch with us today!
