The hottest birthday party on the water. Three hours, the whole boat, up to 12 of you — the Happy Birthday sign hung, sash on, sauna hot from the moment you board, and cold ocean plunges at anchor off Admiralty Point.
Skip the crowded restaurant and take the whole boat instead. The Happy Birthday sign is hung before you board, the sash and captain-style hat go on the guest of honour, and the cedar sauna is hot at the dock — first rounds start while we’re still casting off. Then comes about 30 minutes of scenic cruising toward Admiralty Point, the shoreline sliding past the sauna’s panoramic window.
Off Admiralty Point we drop anchor in calm water — often 75 to 90 minutes, the longest stretch of the voyage. Tradition says the birthday person leads the first ocean plunge. Paddleboard and floaties go in the water, the saltwater deck shower covers anyone not ready to commit, and the heat is always waiting.
Your playlist runs through six speakers, and your group is the only group onboard. Bring a cake — regular candles are welcome with advance notice, lit under crew supervision. For a full group of 12, it works out to about CA$50 per person, per hour.
Arrive 15 minutes early, shoes into the bin, quick welcome and safety briefing. The Happy Birthday sign is already hanging, the sash and captain’s hat go on, and the cedar sauna is already hot — first rounds start while we’re still pulling away from the dock.
About 30 minutes of easy cruising along the coast — sweeping views of Burnaby Mountain and forested shores, cold drink in hand. Group photos on the rooftop deck, your birthday playlist on six speakers.
The longest stretch of your charter — we anchor in calm water off Admiralty Point, often for 75 to 90 minutes. The birthday person leads the first plunge — paddleboard and floaties in the water, saltwater deck shower for the undecided — then straight back into the heat.
One last round as we cruise home. Rinse off in the freshwater shower, change in the private washroom, and step off warm, calm, and celebrated.
You board in the Port Moody area — the gateway to the sheltered, calm waters of Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm. The exact meeting spot, map pin, and arrival instructions are sent right after you book, so your group lands at the right dock on the first try.
Arrive 15 minutes early. Time to find the meeting point, drop outdoor shoes in the storage bin, and confirm waivers before departure.
Boarding is direct or by tender. Depending on tide and dock access, you’ll step straight aboard or take a short, scenic tender ride out to the boat — crew guides you either way.
No outdoor shoes onboard. Go barefoot or bring clean, indoor-only flip-flops. A bin is provided for your shoes at boarding.
