Enjoyed Vavi's NYE party at the Catamaran, great place to have the party. Paid the extra $30 for the VIP ticket which gave you an hour and a half on triple decker boat ride around the bay. They had the same hors d'oeuvres and drinks on the boat that they had in the resort. The description of the VIP tickets did say there was to be casino style games on board which was why I purchased it, thought it would be fun. There was no games whatsoever. :( There were multiple rooms with DJ's playing dance music, would have liked to see more variety of music, or a live band would have been nice. The bar included two beers, Cores light and Saint Archer blonde, along with wine, champagne, and your typical well alcohols. There were plenty of places to get drinks and food, plenty of places to hang out indoor and outdoor, and a photo booth. All in all, it was fun, but unless you like to dance for 5 hours there wasn't much else to do besides hang out, which we did.

Great party with many dig rooms to choose from with all kids of styles of music! I absolutely recommend it BUT!!! Take your own pics because they're nowhere to be found! There were many photo booths but no way to obtain the photographs That's the only reason why I didn't give them a 5. Free drinks all night tho

Once again, another great year and my previous review says it all. This really is the best way to spend NYE in SD and I will stress that forking over a few extra bucks for the VIP boat ride is absolutely worth it. This year it was foggy on the bay and very pleasant to hang on the top deck as the music played below. Nice work, VAVI. You've knocked it out the park once again and sent us into 2014 in style. See you next year!

Whoa, whoa, WHOA! VAVI nailed this one! Some friends and I grabbed some tickets in advance for the "VIP package" and really didn't know what to expect. From the moment we approached the front of the Catamaran the organization was excellent and execution was flawless! The staff was directing guests to the appropriate lines, issuing wrist bands (VIP and GA), checking coats and snapping pictures upon arrival. Once we made it through the front door we were handed a Miller Lite and directed to the left. We walked down a long hallway and onto the back lawn which was a "staging" area for the boat ride which was scheduled to depart about a half hour later. There was a bar and servers with excess amounts of food. Literally every time I turned around a potsticker was offered to me... I have a hard time saying no to potstickers. Ahoy... jump on that boat and take her for a ride! Once again, drinks and food were everywhere on the boat! Tables were covered with party favors, glow sticks, hats and neon glasses. We worked our way up to the top level with a huge stained glass ceiling, a DJ, and balloon covering the whole room. Once again there was more boooooooze and lots of dirty dancing. We cruised the bay for two hours and were dropped off where we boarded. The party was in full effect and you could hear the music coming from inside the Catamaran. We grabbed a few more snacks and drinks and worked our way around the hotel. This may be a good time to mention that I never waited two or three minutes anywhere for a drink the entire night and the food kept coming out... that's insane! We posted up in the main room which was definitely the biggest and you could tell by the balloons on the ceiling that it was going to be the place to be for the countdown. We killed some time, ate some more, drank some more, listened to music and found our little corner to ring in 2013. It was nothing short of fantastic... I am going to give BIG PROPS to VAVI for pulling this together. They thought of everything and had eager staff members everywhere and ready to help out. A female guest in our group even commented that a moment that stuck out as memorable to her was when she was in line for the bathroom. Whats so memorable about waiting in line for the bathroom? Well, a VAVI employee noticed the line and came over and instructed where everyone could go for shorted bathroom lines. That's rad! I will most definitely be back to ring in 2014!

I have made it to the Vavi NYE bash a few years in a row now. I will have to say this was the most organized one yet. Last year the lines for drinks were a bit tough to handle, this year was pretty smooth on the wait time. -I got hammered -Danced -Laughed -Hung out on a boat -Counted down -Got a midnight kiss -Somehow woke up with a fridge full of Coconut Water the next morning. Big thanks to the Catamaran and Vavi for another awesome NYE. Hope to do it all again next year.

I was beyond impressed with their NYE extravaganza. Glass of champagne upon entry. Coat Check. Plenty of delicious food, which never ran out. 3 levels of music, dance floors and bars. No lines for drinks. All top-shelf alcohol. Photo Station with fun props! Gorgeous deck with view of fireworks. Gourmet donuts. NYE hats, necklaces, etc provided. Beats any other NYE event I've been too! I'd definitely recommend this for years to come.

This years New Years Eve party at the Catamaran was off the wall! The management and everyone working the event that night were very organized and respectful. I loved the music they played as well! They had 2-3 bars which was very nice and made getting FREE DRINKS easy! Vavi i've got to say, you guys really knocked it out of the park on this one. This was by far one of the funnest nights I've had in a long time. They had coat check, plenty of delicious food and drinks. Also, I loved how they had the ball drop and confetti come down once 12 o'clock striked, it really made the night one to remember. I can't say enough good things about this event, and can't wait to attend more Vavi events in the future. you guys rock!!!

Really fun party and, considering the large number of people, very well organized and executed. I never had to wait for a drink or a plate of food, and the staff were super friendly and helpful - both Vavi staff and Catamaran staff. The atmosphere was fun, lots of really friendly good-looking people, décor was a bit cheesy for sure but hey, its New Year's Eve. The boat cruise was great, but unfortunately it was foggy that night so we couldn't see anything. I enjoyed the casino games though and the DJ on the boat was really good. The only thing is - they didn't tell us that the bar shuts down for like 15-20 mins before the boat docks back at the Catamaran (because they don't want people walking off the boat with drinks since no alcohol is allowed on dock). Would've been helpful to know this, but it's ok - we needed a break from the drinking anyway. Inside the Catamaran - 4 rooms of dancing. The largest room was all EDM music, which can get tiring after a while, a little variety would've been nice. Also, that room was the one with all the balloons on the ceiling so we tried to squeeze in there for midnight but it was nearly impossible - dance floor was so crowded it was ridiculous! We got outta there and went into the next room over which was just as fun and way less people. The DJ's were all good - some better than others IMO. I would've preferred more "dance" music like hip hop or top 40 stuff. While they did play some, most of it was somewhere in the house/EDM/techno category. Regardless, we danced the whole night and had a blast! A few suggestions to Vavi for next year: 1. Better beer selection - SD is the beer capitol of the country, you can't just be serving Miller beers...and that Red's apple stuff was gross. Gotta get some local brews! 2. Better food selection - I would say that the quality of the food was somewhere on par with a fast food joint. Soggy buffalo "Wings" aka chicken balls didn't even taste like chicken. 3. Better party favors - step it up just a little bit - many of the favors came out of the packages already broken, and the glow sticks were the absolute worst - they leaked that glow fluid all over us! what a mess! I would suggest quality over quantity. You don't have to have 1000 diff types of favors, just having a few quality hats/noisemakers/glow sticks would have been better. 4. There were lots of great photo booths and photographers all over the place - but where are the photos? Only one photo booth actually gave you photos to take home. no idea where the other photos can be found (ie photo at entry, etc). Would be nice to know. Overall, we had a great time! I would recommend this party to friends for sure.
