​Top Boating Games to Play with Friends and Family
When you're out on the water, the only thing better than a day of fishing, cruising, or soaking in the sun is adding a little extra excitement to the mix.
Whether you're keeping the kids entertained or looking to fire up a little friendly competition, boating games are the perfect way to turn a good day into a legendary one.
Here are some of our favorite boating games you can set up right from your MirroCraft.

Water Balloon Toss (Boat Edition)
What You’ll Need:
  • Biodegradable water balloons
  • A bucket or cooler full of filled balloons
How to Play:
Anchor your boat or tie off safely in a calm spot. Split into pairs and face each other across the deck.
Each team starts close together and tosses a balloon back and forth. Every successful catch, both players take a step farther apart.
Picture
If your balloon pops, you’re out! Last team standing wins.
Pro Tips:
  • Bring a few extra towels unless you like sitting in a soggy seat.
  • Use bigger balloons filled halfway for easier tossing (and bigger splashes when things go wrong).

Casting Accuracy Challenge
What You’ll Need:
  • Hula hoops, floating pool rings, or small inflatable targets
  • Light tackle or casting plugs (no hooks if you’re just practicing!)
How to Play:
Anchor the boat, then set the targets in the water a short distance away (use rope or weights if needed to keep them from drifting).
Each player takes turns casting, aiming to land inside the targets.
Scoring Ideas:
  • 5 points for landing inside a target
  • 2 points for hitting a target but not landing inside
  • 0 points for missing (plus friendly teasing encouraged)
Pro Tips:
  • Mix up the distances for an extra challenge.
  • Create a timed round: most points in 5 minutes wins.

Boat Bingo
What You’ll Need:
  • Pre-made bingo cards (DIY with waterproof paper or laminate them)
  • Markers or clips
How to Play:
Each player gets a bingo card filled with things to spot: seagull, lighthouse, paddleboarder, sailboat, jumping fish, etc.
First person to mark five in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) wins.
Ideas for Bingo Items:
  • Red buoy
  • Someone wearing a lifejacket
  • Dog on a boat
  • Jet ski zooming by
  • Fishing net being used
Pro Tips:
  • Make a "blackout" version where players have to find everything on the card.
  • Prizes could be snacks, picking the next playlist, or captain-for-a-day bragging rights.

Scavenger Hunt on the Water
What You’ll Need:
  • A scavenger hunt list
  • A phone or camera for photo proof
  • A set route (or free roam)
How to Play:
Before you launch, create a list of 10–20 things to find along your route. (Example: A dock with three flags, a heron, a fisherman wearing sunglasses, a boat named after a woman, etc.)
Break into teams if you’ve got a bigger group. Take pictures to prove each find.
First Team to Complete the List Wins!
Or set a time limit — whoever finds the most items wins.
Pro Tips:
  • Include "bonus items" worth extra points to break ties.
  • Losers have to swab the deck (or at least hand out drinks).

Looking for the ultimate family-friendly boat to host your next scavenger hunt or game day?
MirroCraft gives you the deck space, stability, and comfort you need to keep the crew happy — from casting contests to cannonball contests.

Speedy Fish-Off
What You’ll Need:
  • Fully rigged fishing gear for each player
  • Timer or watch
How to Play:
Pick a spot where you know the fish are biting. Set a timer for 30 minutes.
Rules:
  • Most fish caught wins
  • Tie-breaker = first fish caught
  • Second tie-breaker = biggest fish
If nobody catches a thing (it happens), award the win to the person with the best snack setup.
Pro Tips:
  • Only count fish that are brought all the way to the boat (no “almosts” allowed!).
  • Set some ground rules about what types of fish count, if needed.

​Turn Good Days into Great Memories
At MirroCraft, we know a day on the water is already a win.
But a few games, a lot of laughs, and a little friendly competition? That’s how you create the kind of memories you’ll talk about long after the boats are back on the trailer.
Next time you head out, bring the gear, bring the games, and bring your best game face.
(And if you lose? Well — there’s always next weekend.)
See you out there! 🎣🚤
