Love Boat Costume ideas: Isaac, Captain Stubing & Julie

About Love Boat

Saturday nights on ABC from 1977 to 1986, "The Love Boat" cruised through television living rooms taking viewers on a pleasure ride through the adventures of Captain Stubing and his crew. The Aaron Spelling-produced show took place aboard a luxury liner known as the Pacific Princess and was noted for its star-studded guest appearances with many notable celebrities. The show's premise revolved around the romantic escapades of the ship's crew or the crew attempting to reconcile lovers aboard the vessel on a weekly basis.

Dressing up as Love Boat

"Come aboard! We're expecting you!" Set sail on a Valentine Voyage with officially licensed "Love Boat" costumes. With each embellished with the familiar Love Boat logo, choose from some of your favorite characters to hit the deck and party your way through your next costumed gathering!

Take charge as Captain Stubing with a white Captain's shirt with stripes and gold braid, matching white shorts, and a captain's hat. Add a pair of white kneesocks to complete the ensemble for that oh-so '70s touch!

Ladies may want to dress as Cruise director Julie McCoy with a costume that includes a navy blue skirt suit. The blazer-style jacket includes white piping and a matching white shirt. Grab a clipboard from your office or an office supply store and chart out a list of activities for your guests. If you're greeting guests at your own party, you may want to hand out leis of flowers to drape around the necks of partygoers for a festive touch.

And for the man of the hour, the guy with the most important job... dress up as Isaac the Bartender with a red jacket with the official Love Boat logo and name tag with an attached white shirt, a black bowtie and black mustache. Add your own pair of classy, black trousers, a cocktail shaker, a smile and bartenderly wisdom to dispense and you'll be ready to be the life of the party.
