First Reef Brings the 2-Stage House Music Boat Experience to Fort Lauderdale

January 26, 2026

The house music scene in South Florida is reaching a fever pitch, and First Reef is about to set the Intracoastal ablaze. Following a massive sell-out for their debut event, the collective is back and “going even bigger” with Last Light: Sunset Boat Party Vol. II.

On Saturday, January 31, 2026, a massive 120-foot, three-story vessel will transform into a floating mini-festival, cruising through the iconic “Venice of America” for four hours of non-stop groove.

Unlike your standard boat charter, First Reef curates a high-production experience designed for house music purists and party-goers alike.

2-Stage Setup: The vessel features two distinct stages, allowing for a diverse range of house sub-genres. Expect a sunset-drenched vibe on the top deck and a darker, high-energy club atmosphere on the interior levels as night falls.
The Vessel: A 120-foot, three-story mega-yacht with ample room for 350+ guests, complete with state-of-the-art sound systems and immersive lighting.
All-Inclusive Vibe: Your ticket includes an Open Bar for the duration of the 4-hour cruise, ensuring the energy stays high from boarding to docking.

Leading the charge is LIGHTLEAK, currently one of the fastest-growing names in the U.S. house music scene. Known for tracks like “Mambos” and a signature blend of tech-house with infectious, rhythmic hooks, LIGHTLEAK has been tearing up festival circuits (including a recently announced appearance at Italy’s Kappa FuturFestival 2026). Seeing an artist of this caliber in such an intimate, nautical setting is a rare opportunity for fans.

The boat departs from the heart of the city, offering views of “Millionaire’s Row” and the downtown skyline that you simply can’t get from a land-based club.

Date: Saturday, January 31, 2026
Time: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (Arrive early to ensure you don’t miss the 5:00 PM departure!)
Departure Location: Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale (501 S New River Dr E, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301)
Tickets & Tables: Available exclusively through Bubbl. Given that the first event sold out rapidly, early access sign-ups are highly recommended.

Since the boat leaves from the busy Riverwalk area, plan your parking in advance:

Riverwalk Center Garage (150 SE 2nd St): The most convenient option, just a short walk from the boarding dock.
City of Fort Lauderdale – One North Clematis Garage: Slightly further but usually has more availability during peak Saturday hours.
Rideshare Highly Recommended: Since this is an Open Bar event and parking downtown can be pricey, grabbing an Uber or Lyft to the 501 S New River Dr E location is the safest and easiest bet.
