How to plan

A request-led planning sequence

Group size first, then duration, then optional extras and a weather fallback to agree.

1

Group size first

Tell us how many people — up to 12 on the main boat. We confirm the final number against the approved load in your quote.

2

Chosen duration

Request two, three or four hours. Each duration is a request subject to availability, not a promised daily sailing.

3

Optional extras by quote

Decor, catering or photography are scoped by quotation — not assumed included. Playlist requests are welcome.

4

Proposed date & weather fallback

Send a preferred date. We review the forecast and agree a weather fallback with you before confirming.

What's included vs quoted

Clear on what comes with the celebration

Only skipper, sound and the photographed shaded deck are general inclusions. Extras are scoped by quote while numeric package publication stays pending.

Included

  • Exclusive use of the whole pontoon for your group
  • Skipper with several years of local experience and first aid training
  • Onboard sound system for your playlist
  • Shaded deck space under the dual canopies (as photographed)

Quoted extras

  • Decorations and a cake table setup (cake not supplied)
  • Catering, platters or food arrangements
  • Photographer or videographer
  • Extended or custom durations

The birthday draft lists a cake table, not a supplied cake.

Not promised

  • Installed DJ lights or a dance floor
  • Unlimited drinks or an open bar
  • Wedding ceremony authority or officiant
  • An included cake, menu or catering

Playlist: bring your own — the onboard sound system is included.

Weather: a fallback is agreed before confirming.

Want a bar setup?

Floating bar is a separate, scoped service

The floating bar is configured on the same main pontoon, but it's a separate enquiry with its own conditions: a normal eight-day (192-hour) notice and approval review, with capacity confirmed for the setup. It isn't silently included in every cruise.
