THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel
Spend a sun-soaked half day aboard the yellow Twisted Tea pontoon out of the Royal Naval Dockyard—snorkel shipwrecks, jump from seaside ledges, swim pink-sand coves, and cruise historic fortress-lined waters with gear and chilled drinks supplied.

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.

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.
This is not a slow harbor cruise. The itinerary threads together the island’s maritime past and its coral architecture: a stop at a visible shipwreck where schools of fish treat the exposed ribs as reef, a skim along the starboard side of the Royal Naval Dockyard with its 19th-century fortifications and closed West Gate Prison in view, and a long pause at a soft pink-sanded beach where swimming is the unquestioned priority.
Geology here is straightforward—an uplifted limestone platform scoured into shallow banks and caverns, punctuated by caverns and the iron skeletons of wrecks. The Dockyard itself grew into a naval hub in the early 1800s; cannons still mark the coastline, watching ships that look smaller today than the behemoths they once defended against. Culture on board leans casual and social: families, friends, holidaymakers, and anyone who values a day that’s equal parts exploration and easygoing celebration.
Practicality rules the experience. The pontoon fits up to 25 people and runs on a three-hour minimum at roughly a $300 hourly base; trips typically last three to four hours. The operator supplies snorkeling gear, bottled water, foam noodles, and a case of Twisted Tea for those 18 and older, but guests are welcome to bring their own food, cooler, or arrange catering ahead of time. The dock is in the Royal Naval Dockyard—look for the yellow boat at King’s Wharf—and pickups are scheduled from nearby ports.
Safety is simple but nonnegotiable: life jackets are available and recommended for weaker swimmers; cliff jumping takes place at controlled sites, but the sea and currents decide the day’s possibilities. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes, and a lightweight dry bag; pack medications and motion-sickness remedies if you’re prone to rolling swells. The best windows for photography are early morning and late afternoon when the low sun ignites both water and coral with warm color.
On the Twisted Tea pontoon, the Atlantic is an active companion—inviting, occasionally insistent, and always ready to offer a memorable day that balances adventure with easy logistics. It’s a trip designed for people who want to play in Bermuda’s blue without fuss, then return to dock with salt in their hair and a story for every hour of the day.
The boat provides snorkeling equipment, bottled water, foam noodles, ice, and one case of Twisted Tea for guests 18+; food and additional beverages can be brought or arranged through catering.
