For people who don’t like to wear clothes, nudists can be the most creative when it comes to dressing up. Bare Necessities hosts several costume theme parties called Bare-Fest Events aboard our Big Nude Boat and this upcoming cruise in February really packs a punch.

We’ll celebrate Valentine’s Day, Fat Tuesday and cheer for our favorite team during the Super Bowl. We’ll also dress like 20’s hep cats, wear crazy socks for a ‘50’s Sock Hop, and bring back the word groovy and peace signs for 60’s Flower Power for “Sailing through the Decades”. We’ll have several costume parades and contests with prizes that end with dancing under the stars. Join us as we reveal our secret identities during our “Heroes and Villains” event and recreate a storybook or fairy tale character for “Once upon a Time”. More details can be found in our Big Nude Boat 2023 online Guidebook.

Our Crafty Cruisers will also be onboard to assist you in creating extraordinary accessories to accompany our themes as well as offer some unique crafts such as making your own sea glass jewelry or artwork.
