I had my 30th birthday party on your boat June 3, 2011 from 9pm-12am. Let me say I HAD A BLAST!! I didn’t even have any plans to celebrate for my birthday, but, at the last minute, I remembered your company advertised somewhere and decided to look it up. It was by God’s grace that you had the day before my birthday available. So when the party ended at 12midnight it was my actual birthday and what a memorable way to start or end the day. The price was reasonable and the mood of being on a boat out on the water made the atmosphere just right to ring in my 30’s. We even saw fireworks while dancing the night away. In my head, those fireworks were just for me! Josh and Forrest was our crew for that night and they did a GREAT JOB! They were as polite, helpful and professional as they come. They made the experience all that much more memorable and they served my guests with equal respect. I didn’t know what to expect, but I would recommend your service to anyone who was looking for a different type of venue to celebrate or just because. Thank you Houston Party Boat for having this service available and for helping create a memory in my pages of life.
Thank you,
Tammy Rosales
Capt. Keller,
Okay, let me start by saying what a blast we all had yesterday! We had a pretty small turnout, which in some instances proved to be the perfect amount of people...I really suck with names so I hope I dont botch them too badly but I think our capt. was Mark & our deck hand/steward was Braden? Let me tell you those two were the most polite gentlemen I've met in the service industry in my life. Our truck was unloaded, we were helped with setup, breakdown, and our truck was loaded back up....Braden helped the Papa John's driver carry all the pizza's on board. We couldn't have asked for a better crew, boat, ride, weather, etc....Please make sure that you personally reward those two with a huge pat on the back, they definitely deserve it. They went out of their way to represent your company in the highest regard possible.
You & your company/crew will be added and remain on our Christmas card list forever! You & your crew helped in making some great memories for my daughter yesterday and I can assure you that you will be a part of making more memories in our future....you will most definitely be our go-to company for future shindigs! Have a great day and happy sailing!

Jim,
The teenagers had a wonderful time for my daughter's sweet 16 party. It was the "Party of the Year" with her friends. The crew was wonderful and took care of everything. They were so helpful and nice and all the details were taken care of. The DJ even said it was the "Best Party Ever". The kids danced the whole time stopping only for the birthday celebration. We were blessed with perfect weather and water as smooth as glass. I included a few pictures to show a younger celebration on your wonderful boat. My daughter said the party was 4 X better than what she could have ever imagined. Thanks for a great party.

Dear Mr. Keller,
I want to thank you and your staff for the opportunity to spend a few hours with good friends and family. The boat was in great shape but the staff was outstanding. There was not a moment without the attention and the help of the captain and the first mate. They were extremely polite and courteous toward everybody on board and did not let us move a finger. We had a superb time and will recommended to everybody and of coarse we want to come back. Thanks again and send my best regards to the captain and first mate.
Cordially yours,
Gilbert Veray
Jim,
Thank you so much for everything! Myself, Lincoln, and my family thought everything was wonderful for our wedding and reception. The ceremony was perfect and the reception was awesome. The staff was very helpful and friendly and Michael did an outstanding job with "the shoe game", especially when he had never even heard of it. We watched the video of it yesterday and laughed all over again watching the shoe game. Please tell Michael we said thank you again. We would highly recommend you to others and maybe we will be doing that again for our ten year anniversary, if not sooner for a different occasion!
I only wish I could go back and slow it down so I could truly enjoy the evening all over again! It went by so quickly.
Thanks for everything,
Colleen and Lincoln Stahl
Wow Jim! What can I say...the party was a HUGE hit! Mark and Will were phenomenal! My daughter had the absolute time of her life!
Mark and Will really went above and beyond in every way! They were incredibly helpful, extremely accommodating and very friendly! We couldn't have imagined a better experience!
As an event planner here in Houston, I would recommend Houston Party Boats to any of my clients without hesitation hands down!
We had a wonderful time...thank you for memories that will last a lifetime!
Kindest Regards,

Hello Mr & Mrs Keller
I know this email is very long overdue, but I must say I really enjoyed my 55 B/D party 9/18/08 and so did all my guest. Even though it was the week after hurricane Ike, It was beautiful. Thanks for all you done to make my party a success. The staff was on it! They did a wonderful job ...... Mr. Jim the music was good as well, and you didn’t forget to play my song that night and that was wonderful. I’m not in Iraq right now, but I do plan to have another party next year. I will forward you 2 other pics maybe you can add on your web site. Thanks and have a Blessed day.

Mr. Keller, please extend our sincere appreciation for your Captain and
staff members. My faculty members had the best Christmas celebration ever!
It is my plan to share this wonderful experience with every Principal I am
in contact with throughout my district and professional engagements. Would
you happen to have a recommendation bonus for those that book after our
recommendation???????
The Captain Jim, did an outstanding job. He was professional, organized and
very service friendly.
Will, Forest, and John all did wonderful jobs and our service and set up was
outstanding.
Miles did an exceptional job; while I thought it would be a challenge
recalling who everyone was, what they had brought in the way of beverages,
etc. He far surpassed anyone's expectations. Not only recalling their
beverage of choice; if one was requesting another beverage and had to walk
away for a moment and return, he had their drink readily in hand, extended,
and made them feel very special.
Wonderful.. Fabulous.. Exceptional Service!!!!!
This was just what our faculty needed after such a harrowing event with the
destruction of our school and their losing everything.
Thank you so very much!

Hi Jamie and Jim,
Just are getting things back to normal around here but wanted to take this
opportunity to thank everyone for the excellent service, politeness, and
special attention to my mother.
In general everything was perfect and could not have gone more smoothly. If
there were any issues, trust me when I say no one would have ever known.
The crew was just to die for polite and fun. Please thank the girls again
personally from me, for being so good to the young preteen girls on board.
They loved the dancing.
My mom was so impressed to have Blaine "THE CAPTAIN" walk her off the boat.
OK, OK, I could go on and on but thanks again. You all have a wonderful set
up there. Best to you in the future.

Capt. Jim,
I have been meaning to write to you since our fabulous 08-08-08 evening with
you on your Spirit of Texas. Glenn and I continue to receive such very
positive comments about your ship, your staff, the food and presentation,
and about you. Everyone seemed to have had a marvelous time and it was
everything and more than I had expected and desired. Thank you so very,
very much. You and Jamie were so easy to work with in arranging all the
specifics. It made the whole affair a delightful experience and one I would
love to do again. Maybe some day..
Well, Captain, thank you again for making Glenn's 08-08-08 birthday and
retirement a memorable occasion. It was fantastic!

Good afternoon, Jim,
Thank you! We were very pleased with the exceptional customer service and hospitality you and your staff provided. Everything was very well coordinated; Spence did an excellent job of keeping things moving right along and ensuring that we did not have to worry about a single thing.
We also enjoyed the unique and unforgettable wedding experience that can only be gotten aboard The Spirit of Texas. Everyone had a blast. Some of our guests even thanked us for inviting them to join us in what they felt was an experience of a lifetime.
Again, many thanks to you and the crew of The Spirit of Texas!
Sincerely,
Maria and Ernest Pallares

Dear Jim, Last Friday, as I drove back home to Spring I was thinking about how successful the event was and considering the comments from everyone on how they enjoyed the day when it hit me; I NEEDED THAT!!! I needed that day of relaxing and laughing. Not one of my own problems or responsibilities crossed my mind. Coming from me, that is saying a lot! It was terrific.
You actually get paid to do this! How fortunate. You and your crew are so much fun and attentive. Please give them my regards. I received positive feedback from all who attended. They actually would like to do this again. I will send a couple of pictures.
Cheers~ Dana
