Select participants and date
The pontoon idles in a slice of blue that seems to have its own weather. On the Twisted Tea Party Boat, laughter becomes part of the engine hum as the yellow canopy bobs through Bermuda’s shallow shelves. Guests drift between sun-soaked decks and the turquoise below—snorkels click, music threads out over the water, and someone straps on fins to leap from a triangular rock ledge into a bowl of liquid sky.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Bermuda’s reefs are fragile—use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply often after swimming.
Wear water shoes

Hydrate and pace alcohol
Alcohol is provided for 18+ guests—balance drinking with water to avoid dehydration in tropical sun.
Confirm pickup point
Arrive at King’s Wharf dock 15 minutes early and look for the yellow Twisted Tea pontoon to avoid missed departures.
