Celebrate the Fourth of July on a Crevalle

We the people… love a good time on the water. And there’s no better way to celebrate Independence Day than from the deck of a Crevalle. Whether you’re cruising to a sandbar, catching fireworks from the bow, or just soaking up the sun with your crew, Crevalle boats bring the perfect balance of comfort, safety, and celebration-ready features.

Here are four great ways to make the most of your Fourth of July on the water—and a few tips to help keep your holiday safe and stress-free.

1. Pick the Perfect Spot for Fireworks

Start your day by choosing a great beach, lake, or river to explore. The Fourth of July can get busy fast, so do a little research beforehand and arrive early. A well-placed anchor spot will give you front-row seats to the fireworks—and thanks to Crevalle’s hybrid performance, you can go wherever the day (or night) takes you.

2. Deck Out Your Crevalle

Check your local Facebook groups or community calendars for boat parades in your area, and don’t be shy with the decorations. Flags, streamers, and red, white, and blue garlands can turn your boat into a floating tribute to freedom. Just make sure everything is secured properly so it stays put while you’re under way.

Did you know? Crevalle offers a custom American flag hardtop option on our 24- and 26-foot models—an unforgettable way to show your patriotism year-round.

3. Bring the Whole Crew

With comfortable seating for 8–10 passengers (depending on the model), Crevalle boats are made for days like this. Add a sunshade, crank up the Bluetooth sound system, and enjoy swimming, fishing, or just relaxing together on the water. Hybrid versatility means you’re just as ready for inshore exploring as you are offshore cruising.

4. Don’t Forget the Snacks

Patriotic snacks are a must—bonus points for red, white, and blue fruit trays or festive cupcakes. Crevalle makes it easy to keep everything cold and organized with two built-in coolers, conveniently located at the stern. Bring enough to share and make your boat the favorite stop of the flotilla.

Keep Safety First

The Fourth of July is a celebration—but safety should always be top priority. Before you leave the dock, take a moment to review these quick tips:

  • Ensure your boat is in good working order and has a full tank of gas
  • Never exceed the max passenger capacity
  • Designate a sober, licensed captain for the day
  • Keep your distance from fireworks barges and other boats
  • Leave your personal fireworks at home—they’re dangerous on the water
  • Use a kill switch and wear a proper-fitting life jacket
  • Leave pets at home if possible—fireworks can frighten dogs and lead to accidents

Essentials to Pack for Your Holiday on the Water

  • Extra life jackets for all passengers
  • Sunscreen and bug repellant
  • First aid kit and basic tools
  • Fire extinguisher
  • Flashlight for post-fireworks navigation
