Floatshoalla 2026 stakes a claim on the summer calendar with a five hour party cruise from Belmar Marina to Tices Shoal one of the Jersey Shores liveliest sandbars. Check in at the boat on J Dock (12 Lake Dr, Island Heights, NJ 08732) and arrive thirty minutes early to board a boat configured for fun: sun deck, plush seating, a full bathroom, and a DJ quality sound system that turns the bay into an open air dance floor. Departures run July 25 and 26, 9:30 AM–2:30 PM, limited to 45 guests; tickets are $115 per person. The trip is as much about place as it is about people. Tices Shoal sits in shallow Barnegat Bay: a broad wash of white sand and clear waist deep water where anchored boats ring a central sandbar. The shoals shallow geometry makes it ideal for swimming, floating on inflatables, and social anchoring; eelgrass meadows and tidal flats fringe the shoal, supporting a lively coastal food web. Expect seabirds, occasional dolphins, and the low constant call of the harbor — natural details that keep the scene distinct from inland pool parties. Floatshoalla blends those coastal elements with festival energy. A friendly mate helps with anchoring and safety while a rotating DJ keeps the mix moving. Catered sandwiches, wraps, and salads are included; BYOB is allowed (no glass except wine bottles, and hard liquor is prohibited). Small coolers are welcome but ice is not provided, so plan ahead. The vibe ranges from family friendly daytime fun to concentrated social energy; organizers emphasize respect for the bay and other boaters. Practical details matter: check in at J Dock at Belmar Marina and bring a valid photo ID if you plan to consume alcohol. Sunscreen, a towel, a hat, and secure footwear will make the day more comfortable. The boat s limited capacity means this sells out — book early. Why book this trip? Floatshoalla condenses the best of a Jersey Shore summer: shallow swimming at a classic shoal, a lively onboard atmosphere, and easy access from the coast. It s a standout for people who want water time without the logistics of launching their own boat and for groups who want a single all inclusive outing: music, food, and a crew that keeps the experience smooth. Whether arriving from Belmar or Island Heights, this one day cruise offers a vivid Barnegat Bay experience.
