Last year was a WHOLE VIBE!! Over 530 black professionals came together to have a good time. With that being said we’re turning 5 — and we’re doing it BIGGER, BADDER, and BOLDER than ever. Black Boat Weekend is more than a trip — it’s a celebration of black culture, connection, and straight-up vibes.

Picture this, a hot summer day out on the lake with a group of black professional people partying together on multiple boats with multiple DJs vibing out. Besides, there's no better way to end the summer than with us. So, grab your crew, boothang or come by your damn self!

It's not every day you get the chance to dance on a floatie in the middle of Lake Travis! So do yourself a favor and Call in Sick and meet us in Austin, Texas for Black Boat Weekend. Oh, it's going to be a TIME!

🚨 Update: Host Hotel SOLD OUT! 🚨

Our BBW 2026 Host Hotel is officially SOLD OUT—y’all really don’t play! 💥

But no worries—we’ve secured a second hotel just for our cousins: Less than 5 minutes from the Host Hotel! 📍 Drury Inn & Suites Address: 6711 I-35 North, Austin, TX. Don’t wait—this hotel will go fast too!

Bring your vibes, your crew, and your stamina. This is your official invitation to the biggest Black travel reunion in Texas. Welcome to Year 5. Let’s make history!
