About Kokomo West
Kokomo West is a 20-metre function boat on West Lakes, run under the West Lakes Princess name from 1997 before it was renamed and refurbished. It carries up to 60 passengers on the protected lake waters around Delfin Island, boarding from its own pier below the Lakes Resort Hotel. The vessel is fully enclosed, with heating and cooling, separate male and female toilets and an AMSA-certified crew, so the weather rarely gets in the way. A refitted bar mixes cocktails as well as pouring beer and wine. A Bluetooth sound system takes your playlist or a DJ, and there is a microphone, an optional karaoke set-up and space to clear for dancing. Packages cover most styles of event. Sit-down cruises serve a two or three-course meal at your tables, tapas cruises keep guests mingling over grazing boards and finger food, and afternoon high teas suit a quieter celebration. Groups who prefer their own caterer can hire the boat outright, with captain, waiting and bar staff supplied, plus plates and cutlery. Kokomo West hosts birthdays for all ages, weddings and engagements, hens parties, baby showers, graduations, Christmas parties and corporate functions. Exclusive use of the boat suits groups of 25 or more, and smaller parties can book private tables on scheduled lunch and dinner cruises.
