Two popular party vessels, boats and hot tubs, combine forces on the bay.
If there are two things North Bay residents straddling the San Francisco Bay are known for—it’s boats and hot tubs.
Enter: Bay Area Hot Tub Boat.
Straight from the school of Two Great Things That Go Great Together—think PB&J, peanut butter cups, ranch-dressing-and-pizza, etc.—is a new business that not only offers a hot tub on a boat, but a hot tub that IS the boat.
“With their meticulously crafted vessels, Bay Area Hot Tub Boat invites the community to discover the water like never before,” reads a company press release. “These custom-built boats are engineered to provide the ultimate hot tub boat experience, by allowing customers to fully submerge and relax while they cruise in the water, on the water!”
The hot-tub boat startup is partnered by Chris Ferren-Cirino and Matthew See, who say the floating tubs are the “perfect venue for celebrating birthdays, bachelorette/bachelor parties, date nights, and friend and family get-togethers.” Adds See: “The FOMO is real with our hot tub boats.”
The tub boats include built-in coolers for beverages, as well as floating drink caddies. No boater’s license is required, they say.
Ferren-Cirino and See are no strangers to promoting unique party vehicles. In 2014, they launched Sac Brew Bike, a “pioneering” party bike company that “introduced the thrill of pedal-powered parties” to the state capital.
Bay Area Hot Tub Boat is inching into local waters slowly—it’s only available beginning Oct. 1, Fridays through Sundays at Marina Village Yacht Harbor at 1030 Marina Village Parkway, Alameda. Hour-and-a-half rentals for two to six people begin at $380. Visit bayareahottubboat.com.
