Party Boat
The party boat in Bermuda.
25 guests. Two decks. A water slide. BYOB. We ain't fancy. We fun.
Looking for a party boat in Bermuda? The Pontune Paradise is a two-deck pontoon licensed for up to 25 guests, with an inflatable water slide, a shaded upper deck, a Bluetooth sound system and a big cooler kept on ice all day. BYOB is welcome (no glass), your licensed captain is included, and pickup works from any major Bermuda dock. Owner-captain Sean DeSilva runs every trip: birthdays, bachelorettes, family reunions, work outings or just a crew that wants a proper boat day. Book it as a sunset cruise, a half-day party or a full-day with snorkel stops.

The occasions
Whatever you're celebrating, bring it.
Birthdays
The slide, the music, the cooler and 25 of your favorite people. Cake travels fine in the shade of the upper deck.
Bachelorette + bachelor
Sunset slot, BYOB bubbly on ice, playlist on the Bluetooth. Sean picks the prettiest coves and stays out of the photos.
Family reunions
All ages welcome. Child-size life jackets, kid-size snorkel gear, easy boarding and calm reef-protected water.
Corporate + team days
Get the whole team off the dock. Full buyout of the boat, catering recommendations if you want them.
Cruise-ship groups
We pick up at Dockyard right by the cruise terminal. Tell us your ship's schedule and we'll plan the day around it.
No occasion at all
A boat day is the occasion. Anchor at a cove, float, slide, repeat until golden hour.
How the day feels
Music up. Slide out. Cooler full.
You bring the people and the drinks. We bring the boat, the captain, the fuel, the ice and everything to play with: the inflatable slide, two-seater kayaks, a paddleboard and snorkel gear in adult and child sizes. Bermuda's reefs keep the inshore water calm, so the party stays comfortable even for guests who don't love boats.
The itinerary bends to your group. Stay parked in one cove all afternoon or hop between beaches and snorkel stops. Tell Sean mid-trip what you're loving and the day adjusts.

Sunset Cruise

Party boat questions.
How many people fit on a party boat in Bermuda?
The Pontune Paradise is licensed for up to 25 guests plus the licensed captain. It's a two-deck pontoon, so a full group still has room to spread out between the shaded upper deck, the lower-deck seating and the water. Groups from 4 up to the full 25 book it the same way: you get the whole boat either way.
How much does a party boat cost in Bermuda?
Rates depend on duration, group size and season, and every quote includes the licensed captain, fuel, cooler with ice, snorkel gear, kayaks, paddleboard and the water slide. WhatsApp Sean at +1 (441) 518-7077 or email info@bdaboats.com with your date and headcount for a same-day rate.
Can we drink on the party boat?
Yes. BYOB is welcome on every charter: beer, wine, cocktails, whatever the group likes. We provide the cooler and keep it topped up with ice through the day. Bermuda law allows drinking on private charters for guests 18 and over. The one rule is no glass on deck, so bring cans and plastic or pour into cups.
Can we play our own music?
Absolutely. The boat has a Bluetooth sound system, so connect a phone and run your own playlist all day. Sunset cruises with the group's own soundtrack are kind of the signature move.
Does the party boat really have a water slide?
It does. The inflatable slide comes out at every anchor stop and it's the centerpiece of the day for kids and adults alike. There's also a swim ladder, two-seater kayaks, a paddleboard and snorkel gear on board.
Where does the party boat leave from?
Anywhere that works for your group. Common pickups are Hamilton Harbour for central Pembroke, Dockyard for the West End and cruise-ship guests, Grotto Bay for Hamilton Parish, and Castle Harbour for the East End and St. George's. We confirm your dock when you book and arrive 15 minutes before departure.
How long is a party boat charter?
There's a 4-hour minimum on every charter, no hourly bookings. Most groups book the 4-hour sunset slot or the full 8-hour day with snorkel and beach stops. If you're not sure which fits, tell Sean what the group's celebrating and he'll recommend one.
Do you do bachelorette parties?
All the time, and birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions and corporate days too. Sunset cruises work especially well for celebrations. Tell us the occasion when you book and we'll suggest the best route, time of day and any add-ons like catering from a local Bermuda caterer who delivers to the boat.
How far ahead should we book?
Peak season runs May through October with July and August the busiest. For peak weekends and sunset slots, book two to four weeks out. Off-peak weekdays can usually be confirmed 24 to 48 hours ahead, and last-minute openings do come up. WhatsApp is the fastest way to check live availability since Sean answers 24 hours.
