Joey Janela announces Boat Bash for 2027

Though 2026 just started, Joey Janela is already making plans for next year.

The indie star announced today that he and Coastal Championship Wrestling are partnering together with Expedia Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line for Joey Janela’s Boat Bash 2027. Featuring live pro wrestling, the cruise/vacation getaway is taking place from February 28-March 7, 2027.

After leaving from Los Angeles, the cruise heads to the Mexican Riviera with stops in Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, and Mazatlan. The wrestling action will include lucha libre presented by fellow indie wrestler Gringo Loco.

“With live Pro Wrestling in destination spots Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas & Mazatlan! These shows will have the best Lucha Libre in the world presented by @GringoLocoOG & classic Joey Janela WTF!?!,” Janela wrote.

Janela also hyped that the cruise will have “big time meet and greets on the boat, lobster dinners, gambling and debauchery for 7 DAYS!”

Early bird tickets will be available to purchase starting on January 26.

Janela — who wrestled for AEW from 2019-2022 — has experience presenting wrestling shows with the annual Spring Break event he and Game Changer Wrestling have produced since 2017.
