Bayou Brunch Party Boat
New Orleans-style brunch buffet and bayou cruise
What to Expect
Bayou Brunch Party Boat, offered by Beyond the French Quarter, pairs easygoing waterside dining with an intimate Bayou Bienvenue cruise. The experience begins at Lucille’s Landing with a generously catered buffet showcasing local favorites—think Gulf-inspired dishes, seasonal sides, and an array of cocktails served waterside—laid out so you can linger, socialize, and soak up the marshland atmosphere. Service is attentive and practical; dietary accommodations can be arranged with advance notice so everyone in your group can eat without fuss.
Along with brunch, you will board a comfortable 28-person pontoon party boat for a one-hour guided cruise through the cypress- and tupelo-lined channels of Bayou Bienvenue. The boat’s open layout gives unobstructed sightlines for photographers and birdwatchers alike as guides point out migratory and resident birds, marsh flora, and the occasional alligator basking at the water’s edge. It’s an easy, scenic way to see the natural side of greater New Orleans—relaxed, social, and distinctly local, perfect for visitors and outdoors-minded residents who want more than just the usual.
