Candles out at anchor
A birthday bash on the water turns one date in the calendar into a day the whole group talks about. The guest of honour boards to a track of their choosing, everybody swims off a quiet beach, and the cake comes out at anchor with an island as the backdrop.
For a long guest list the catamarans are the obvious pick: Bassline 55 holds up to 40 and Neon Tide 50 up to 30, priced for the whole boat from ฿59,000 and ฿49,000 for 5 hours. A milestone birthday with a smaller, dressed-up crowd suits Afterglow 65 (up to 20) or, for the full statement, Midnight Pulse 102 with a sun deck, a sea pool and room for 25 on an 8-hour day.
Children are welcome on a family birthday. They stay under their parents’ supervision, swim at anchor with the crew watching and wear life jackets whenever the crew asks; mention their ages in the request so the boat is ready. For a grown-up crowd the evening slot works well: a sunset session on a catamaran, then dinner on land.
Candles and sea breeze do not mix well, so the crew usually brings the cake out once the boat is anchored and sheltered. A lantern-style candle holder is a smart thing to pack.

Safe at sea, loud where it fits
House rules on every boat. Swimming happens at anchor, with the crew watching the water. Life jackets are on board for every guest. The captain decides the route on the day, and the music comes down to a respectful level inside national-park bays.
National-park fees are charged per person and paid on the day; they are not part of the boat price.
Questions before you board
Can you arrange a birthday cake?
Yes, a cake and catering can be arranged on request and appear in your offer. Soft drinks, ice and fruit are already on board.
Are children allowed on board?
Yes. Children stay under the supervision of their parents, swim at anchor and wear life jackets when the crew asks.
How far ahead should we book?
Send your request as soon as you know the date, especially for weekends between November and April, when the calm sea makes these months popular.
Tell us the date and the crew size – we reply with the boats that are free and a final price.
