If you’re planning a family boat adventure, you’ll want to make sure you have everything you need for a fun and relaxing day on the water. Spending quality time with your loved ones while exploring nature and taking dips in the water is the perfect way to make lasting memories.

However, to ensure that your adventure goes smoothly, some pre-planning is essential. Packing a boat kit can help make your day stress-free and ensure that you have everything you need for a fantastic party boat adventure with your family. 

Here are some essential items to include in your kit to make your day on the Thames with Thamespartyboats.co.uk as perfect as possible.

A Plastic Storage Bin

When packing for your family party boat adventure with Thames Party Boats, a plastic storage bin is an essential item to bring along. It’s important to choose a clear bin for visibility, so you can easily see what’s inside. You’ll want to make sure that the bin is big enough to hold all of your belongings and that it can accommodate the number of people going on your trip.

 This way, you can pack everything you need in one place and keep your items dry in the event of an unexpected splash of water. Plus, the bin can be easily stored away when not in use, making it a convenient option for boat trips.

Protection For Your Electronics

It’s important to protect your electronics from getting damaged by water when cruising on a party boat. A waterproof bag is an excellent way to ensure that your cell phone or camera stays dry, even if it accidentally falls into the water. This is particularly necessary if you have kids on board, who may not be as careful with their belongings as adults are. 

A waterproof bag will not only keep your electronics safe from water damage, but it will also help keep sand and dirt away from your devices. So, don’t forget to pack a few waterproof bags in your boat kit to ensure that your electronics remain protected throughout your family party boat adventure.

Beach and Water Supplies

There are a lot of beach and water supply options to choose from when you are going on a boat cruise with your family. Depending on the age of your family members and their preferences, here are a few supplies you can come along with:

• Towels. Make sure there are enough towels for everyone on board, and don’t forget the kids’ beach toys!
• Towel clips. These are perfect for drying off wet swimwear and towels after a dip in the water, and they can also be used to keep curtains from flapping in the wind while washing dishes.
• Sunscreen. It is essential to have sunscreen because it protects against harmful UV rays that could lead to sunburns later on down the road when we’re all older than we are now… and maybe wiser too? 

Cleaning Supplies

• Baby wipes. You can use these to clean up spills and wipe down surfaces like tables and chairs.
•   Hand sanitiser. If you’re having a boat party with young children who might accidentally break something, this is an absolute must-have!
• Facial wipes are also good to have on hand in case someone gets into something sticky or dirty, or wants to freshen up their face before dinner service begins in earnest.

Finally, cutlery and other utensils for food

If you intend to bring food, don’t forget to bring plates, napkins, and plastic cutlery. If you plan to serve something like pasta or salad, bring some serving spoons with you. However, if you want to rely on our in-house caterers to take care of your food and drinks, then there may be no need for these since we already have them on the boat. But of course, the choice is yours to make. 

Preparing for a family party boat adventure with Thames Party Boats can be a fun and exciting experience, especially when you have all the necessary items in your boat kit. By packing a clear plastic storage bin, and waterproof bags to protect your electronics and other essentials, you can ensure that your day on the water is stress-free and enjoyable for everyone. So, start planning your next family outing today and make lasting memories with Thamespartyboats.co.uk.
