No party pontoon cruise is complete without the perfect playlist. Whether you're hosting a birthday bash, kicking off a bachelorette weekend, or just cruising the rivers with friends, your soundtrack sets the tone. At Pittsburgh Boat Rental, every pontoon comes equipped with Bluetooth stereo systems and 4 speakers—so it only makes sense to bring a playlist that hits just as hard as the Pittsburgh skyline views.
When it comes to party boat music in Pittsburgh, think variety. You want energy, but you also want flow. A great playlist blends current hits, classic throwbacks, and a few sing-along favorites. Start with crowd-pleasers like “Levitating” by Dua Lipa, “Yeah!” by Usher, and “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers—songs that instantly boost the mood. Then mix in a few 2000s bangers, some feel-good country, or even a Pittsburgh pride anthem (cue Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” when you cruise past Heinz Field).
Timing also matters. For early cruises, go mellow: think Jack Johnson, Vance Joy, or Kygo remixes to match the morning light and chill pace. But once the boat's out on the open river and the drinks are flowing, switch to high-energy party tracks. EDM favorites like Calvin Harris or The Chainsmokers, mixed with pop-punk hits from blink-182 or Paramore, create the perfect tempo for open-air dancing and celebration.
If you want to make things easy, we’ve curated a few public Spotify playlists perfect for your pontoon boat vibes:
Pro tip: Download your playlists offline in case you lose signal on the river. And if someone in your group has DJ skills, let them run the boat’s aux—every party needs a vibe curator.
So whether you're cruising toward sunset or dropping anchor for a mid-river dance party, your playlist should match the energy of the moment. With the right music, even a simple float becomes an experience to remember.
Book your Pittsburgh pontoon rental today, bring the Bluetooth speaker to life, and let the music take your celebration to the next level.
