A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens
One of the most culturally enriching destinations in South Florida, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens offers a serene escape just west of Delray Beach proper. Located at 4000 Morikami Park Rd, Delray Beach, FL 33446, this expansive center celebrates the "Yamato Colony," an early 20th-century settlement of Japanese farmers in Florida. For groups, Morikami is a dream destination. You can wander through six distinct gardens inspired by significant periods of Japanese gardening history, feed koi in the massive ponds, or view rotating exhibits in the museum.
Why a bus rental is essential here: While Morikami has a decent-sized parking lot, it fills up rapidly on weekends and during festivals like the Hatsume Fair or the Lantern Festival. Coordinating a meetup for 20 or 50 people in a crowded lot is stressful. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Delray Beach, your driver can drop your group right at the main entrance circle for immediate access to the ticket counters. While you enjoy a private tea ceremony or lunch at the Cornell Cafe, your bus will handle the parking logistics in the designated overflow areas for oversized vehicles. Afterward, everyone can board a pre-cooled bus—a lifesaver in the humid Florida afternoon—and head to your next stop refreshed.
Atlantic Avenue ("The Ave")
Atlantic Avenue is the heartbeat of Delray Beach. Stretching from I-95 all the way to the ocean, “The Ave” is lined with upscale boutiques, art galleries, vibrant bars, and some of the best restaurants in Palm Beach County. It is the epicenter of nightlife and the primary destination for bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate dinners, and tourists alike. However, anyone local will tell you: parking on Atlantic Avenue is a nightmare. Metered spots are rare, garages are often full, and traffic moves at a crawl on Friday and Saturday nights.
Group travel tip: Don’t try to drive yourself here. A private minibus rental is the smartest way to experience The Ave. Your driver can drop your group off at a central location, such as near Old School Square (51 N Swinton Ave) or closer to the Intracoastal Bridge, allowing you to walk the strip and explore without circling for an hour looking for a spot. If your group plans on bar-hopping from Salt7 to The Office and ending at Tin Roof, having a charter bus means you have a built-in designated driver waiting for you at a pre-arranged pickup point. You can enjoy the nightlife responsibly and ensure everyone gets back to the hotel safely.
Wakodahatchee Wetlands
For nature enthusiasts, school groups, and photography clubs, the Wakodahatchee Wetlands is a must-visit. Located at 13026 Jog Rd, Delray Beach, FL 33446, this park features a three-quarter-mile boardwalk that winds through 50 acres of created wetlands. It is free to the public and offers some of the best birdwatching in the state, with frequent sightings of herons, egrets, alligators, and turtles in their natural habitat. It is an fantastic educational stop for field trips or a peaceful morning excursion for senior travel groups.
Logistics with a bus: The parking lot at Wakodahatchee is notoriously small and tight, making it very difficult for caravans of cars to find space together. A charter bus rental simplifies this immensely. Your driver can pull up to the boardwalk entrance to unload passengers comfortably away from traffic. While your group enjoys a leisurely walk along the boardwalk spotting wildlife, your driver can wait in a nearby staging area or monitor the lot for a space suitable for a larger vehicle. Plus, after a walk in the sun, nothing beats stepping back onto an air-conditioned bus with cold water stored in the overhead bins or undercarriage bays.
Delray Beach Market
If you are traveling with a large group that can never agree on what to eat, the Delray Beach Market is your solution. Located at 33 SE 3rd Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33483, this is Florida’s largest food hall, featuring a dazzling array of vendors serving everything from fresh seafood and artisanal burgers to craft cocktails and decadent desserts. It is a fantastic venue for corporate lunches or large family reunions because the communal seating and variety of options mean everyone gets exactly what they want without the hassle of a set menu or splitting a massive bill at a sit-down restaurant.
The Charter Bus Advantage: The Market is located just off Atlantic Avenue, meaning it suffers from the same congestion issues. While there is a parking garage, maneuvering a dozen cars into it and paying for parking individually is inefficient. A shuttle bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Delray Beach can drop your hungry group curbside. You can set a specific departure time, allowing your group to eat, shop, and mingle at their own pace. Once everyone has had their fill of tacos and sushi, your bus will be waiting to whisk you away to the beach or back to your hotel.
Silverball Retro Arcade
Step back in time at the Silverball Retro Arcade, located right off the main strip at 19 NE 3rd Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33483. This isn't just a museum; it's a fully playable arcade featuring classic pinball machines dating back to the 1930s, as well as beloved arcade cabinets like Skee-Ball and Pac-Man. It is a favorite destination for birthday parties, unique corporate team-building events, and nostalgic outings. They also serve food and drinks, making it a self-contained entertainment hub.
Why rent a bus? Silverball is located in a high-traffic area where street parking is strictly metered and aggressive. For a birthday party or corporate event, you want the focus to be on the high scores, not on feeding the meter. A charter bus rental allows you to keep your group together. Use the ride over to build hype—play 80s music over the bus’s high-quality sound system or use the onboard PA system to announce tournament brackets for the games. When the gaming is done, your ride is ready immediately, avoiding the post-party scramble for rideshares.
Sandoway Discovery Center
Located in a historic home directly on the oceanfront, the Sandoway Discovery Center at 142 S Ocean Blvd, Delray Beach, FL 33483 offers a unique window into Florida's marine and freshwater environments. Famous for its shark feedings and extensive shell collection, it is a premier destination for educational field trips in Palm Beach County. The center sits right next to the beach, offering a perfect double-header of education and recreation.
School Trip Transportation: Teachers know that managing students near a busy beach road requires vigilance. Standard yellow school buses can be uncomfortable for longer trips from other parts of the state. Renting a modern charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Delray Beach ensures your students travel in comfort with seatbelts and climate control. We can arrange a drop-off right at the center's entrance on A1A. While the students learn about coral reefs, the bus can park at a designated oversize lot nearby. After the educational portion, use the bus to store beach gear, towels, and lunches in the undercarriage luggage bays, keeping the cabin sand-free and uncluttered until you are ready to head to the sand.
Saltwater Brewery
For adult groups, bachelor parties, or beer aficionados, a visit to Saltwater Brewery is essential. Located west of the downtown area at 1708 W Atlantic Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33444, this microbrewery is famous not just for its "Screamin' Reels IPA" but for its commitment to ocean conservation—they created the first eco-friendly edible six-pack rings! The brewery features a large tasting room and an outdoor beer garden with food trucks, making it a great hang-out spot for large groups.
The Responsible Choice: The most significant benefit of a charter bus rental for a brewery tour is comfort. When you rent a private bus, you have a designated driver built into your itinerary. Your group can sample flights and enjoy pints without worrying about driving limits. We can organize a brewery crawl that starts at Saltwater Brewery and hits other local spots like Barrel of Monks in nearby Boca Raton. The bus serves as your mobile headquarters, where you can leave purchases or coolers safely while you enjoy the ambiance of the beer garden.
Cornell Art Museum at Old School Square
Situated in the restored 1913 Delray Elementary School building, the Cornell Art Museum is the cultural anchor of downtown Delray. Located at 51 N Swinton Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33444, the museum showcases contemporary art from international and local artists. It is part of the larger Old School Square campus, which also hosts concerts, festivals, and an outdoor pavilion. It is a sophisticated destination for wedding guests looking to kill time before a reception or for arts-focused tour groups.
Group Logistics: Old School Square is right in the thick of the downtown action. While there is a parking garage nearby, it is often utilized by general downtown visitors. A charter bus allows for a seamless drop-off right at the historic campus. If you are attending a concert at the pavilion, the bus is even more critical, as event parking fills up hours in advance. Your group can arrive right as the gates open, and leave immediately after the encore without getting stuck in the garage exit queue. Plus, the museum is a great air-conditioned stop, and your bus provides a cool, comfortable transition to your next venue.
