Boca Bash 2025: No major incidents, but four arrests for boating while intoxicated
BOCA RATON — Despite a history of issues at the Boca Bash, the unofficial boating party led to just four arrests this year. The Boca Bash is one of the largest lake parties in Palm Beach County. It started as a private birthday celebration in the early 2000s and has since turned into an annual gathering for thousands of boaters, jet skiers, kayakers and paddleboarders on Lake Boca Raton. The event, typically held on the last Sunday of April, does not have an organizer, nor does it sell tickets. But its large presence does attract the eyes of law enforcement. This year, agents from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and officers from the Boca Raton Police Department were present at the April 27 event. According to Palm Beach County court and jail records, four males, from ages 24 to 43, were arrested with boating under the influence (BUI) citations. Two arrests were made by the FWC and two were made by the BRPD. All men were from Florida. Last year, Boca Raton police made 16 arrests, most of which were for BUIs. In 2023, Palm Beach County court records show, police made 18 BUI arrests. Sign up for our Post on Boca Raton weekly newsletter, delivered every Thursday!
