Say Aloha to a Whole New Kind of Birthday Bash
Let’s be honest—kids’ parties in the Hamptons have followed the same script for years: balloons in the backyard, cake at the park, maybe a rented party room with a few games thrown in. Classic? Sure. But lately, some parents are looking to shake things up. They want something fresh. Something exciting. Something their kids will talk about long after the candles are blown out.
That’s when the question started bubbling up:
What if the party didn’t stay on land?
More and more local families are trading grass for open water and choosing to celebrate birthdays in a whole new way. And one name keeps floating to the top: Hamptiki.
Cruise Into a Celebration Like No Other
Hamptiki offers something you don’t see every day—a private cruise on a floating tiki boat. Our boats are decked out with island-inspired details, from bamboo finishes to a thatched roof. There’s plenty of room to move, lounge, and take in the view.
For families planning a kids’ party in the Hamptons, it’s an entirely new experience. Not bigger, not louder—just different. And in the best possible way.
Let’s face it: the usual party spots can start to blur together. A tiki boat offers something that stands out right from the moment you step on board.
What Makes a Tiki Boat Party So Unique?
There’s a built-in sense of adventure when you’re celebrating on the water. Boats. Bays. The shoreline is slipping by. It’s a little like stepping into a storybook. And for kids, that makes everything feel more magical.
The best part? The boat itself becomes the party. We don’t need flashing lights or a hundred noisy games. Just cruising with friends, music in the background, the sun on your face, and the open water around you. Some families bring themes like pirates or beach parties, others just let the setting do the work.
It’s your party—make it yours.
Simple to Plan, Fun to Remember
Parents often tell us they’re surprised by how easy it all is. On land, there’s a long list of things to do: decorating, coordinating activities, managing cleanup. On a Hamptiki cruise, the setup is refreshingly simple. Bring your people, your cake, and whatever else makes you happy—we’ll take care of the rest.
And while the party is designed with kids in mind, parents have a great time, too. There’s something about the calm water, the fresh air, and the changing scenery that sets a relaxed, happy tone for everyone on board.
A Memory That Lasts
The best birthdays aren’t always the biggest—they’re the ones that feel special. A floating party on the bay is exactly that. It’s different. It’s exciting. It’s something kids don’t get to do every day.
They might not remember every decoration or snack, but they’ll remember how it felt to be out on the water with their favorite people, laughing under a tiki roof. We’ve had families step off the boat already, talking about next year’s party. And to us, that says it all.
Frequently Asked Questions
