Corporate Crawfish Boil Rentals
The most New Orleans corporate event there is. Here's what keeps people there after the crawfish run out.
A corporate boil has a predictable failure mode: everyone eats for ninety minutes, then leaves. Attractions are what turn a lunch into an afternoon.
Boils are almost always outdoors on grass or a parking lot, which means power is the first thing to solve, not the last. If there's no dedicated 20 amp circuit within 100 feet, we rent generators — one per inflatable.
What works next to a boil
- Something for the kids, immediately. If it's a family boil, a bounce house within sight of the tables buys parents an extra hour.
- A competition unit for the adults. Axe throw simulator, archery tag, knockerballs. People with a plate in one hand will still watch, and then they'll play.
- The 26-foot rock wall as the anchor if you have the space and the crowd. It's the thing people photograph.
- Mini golf or spin art for the low-energy crowd. Not everyone wants to run around in the heat.
Boil season is spring, and spring books early
February through May is peak crawfish season and it collides with our busiest school window. If your boil is a Friday or Saturday in April, get on the calendar by January. Company boils that wait until March are usually choosing from what's left.
The heat and the ground
- Shade matters. A dark vinyl unit in direct April sun gets hot. Tell us where the shade is and we'll place around it.
- Grass gets staked, concrete and parking lots get sandbagged. Both work. Tell us which so we bring the right anchoring.
- Keep attractions upwind of the boil. Nobody wants a bounce house full of shells and seasoning.
- No food or drink inside units. This rule gets broken at boils more than anywhere else — brief your attendants or use ours.
The practical stuff
- Power: dedicated 20 amp circuit per blower within 100 feet, or we rent generators — one per inflatable.
- Insurance: certificate of insurance naming your company and the property, at 4.5% of the order for commercial locations.
- Access: 36 inches of clearance for a bounce house, 42 for a bigger game.
- Staffing: one monitor per unit. We supply trained attendants so your HR team isn't running a rock wall.
- Rider limit: 200 lb per rider — relevant at an adult event in a way it isn't at a school.
Common questions
Can you set up in a parking lot?
Yes. Parking lots and concrete get sandbagged instead of staked. Very common for corporate boils.
Do you provide the crawfish?
No. We do attractions, staffing and the layout around them. We'll happily work alongside whoever is cooking.
When should we book a spring boil?
By January for an April date. Spring weekends are the tightest availability we have all year.
Do you provide insurance certificates for our property manager?
Yes. Send us the exact wording and the parties they need named and we'll match it.
Plan your company boil
Tell us headcount, the surface you're on and whether there's power. We'll size it and quote it.
