Summer birthday babies are exceptionally lucky when it comes to planning their annual celebrations of another lap around the sun. They never had to worry about going to school on their birthday, they didn't have to share their birthday with a busy holiday season (sorry, Christmas babies!), and they often can take advantage of favorable weather and host their party outdoors.
One thing that many Getmyboat renters who are lucky enough to have a summer birthday have figured out exactly the best venue for a summer birthday celebration — a boat or yacht charter. Nothing beats a cold drink while floating on an inflatable tethered to your boat or cruising around some iconic sights.
Here are some real-user stories of Getmyboat renters who chose to take their birthday on the water.
The Perfect Party
"Captain Dennis was exceptional—punctual, professional, and allowed us to have a great time. The boat itself was in perfect condition, with all the necessary equipment and some luxurious extras, like the floating 🏝️, that made the day truly enjoyable.
The excellent service and the beautiful setting made it an unforgettable birthday party. I highly recommend Captain Dennis for anyone looking to host a memorable and top-notch maritime event."

An NYC Birthday
"Lisa gave us the best birthday party ever! This boat was super fun, elegant, and inexpensive for my friend's birthday celebration. We saw all of the landmarks on the East River while playing our favorite music.
I cannot thank Lisa enough for allowing us to have such a special evening. Everything was streamlined from booking until the event. She answered all my questions timely and made sure everything was on schedule. The captain she arranged was also hilarious and accommodating!"

Birthday on a Yacht
"I threw a birthday party on a yacht, and it was honestly one of the best decisions ever! The vibe was perfect right from the start. The yacht was super sleek and spacious, with incredible views as we cruised around. Everyone was having such a great time that we decided to extend the party!
Matt was awesome—super chill but made sure everything ran smoothly, so we could just focus on enjoying ourselves. We had great music, food, and drinks, and the whole atmosphere was just next level.
Afterward, we headed to La Vecchia for dinner, which was the perfect way to wrap up the day. If you’re looking for an epic celebration, I can’t recommend Matt enough. It was definitely a day to remember!"

A boat is a no-brainer for your party. You can add fun activities like tubing and wake surfing to the itinerary. Some boats even come equipped with water slides, and most have Bluetooth sound systems to blast your birthday week playlist.
Even if you don't have a summer birthday, you can still enjoy the best of being on the water with a boat day. Many people plan winter escape trips to tropical destinations for milestone birthdays, and boat rentals for these types of celebrations are super popular on Getmyboat, especially in destinations like Miami, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico, where you can enjoy the sunshine regardless of which month you were born in.

10 out of 10 experience with Kahar!!! We had an absolutely best time celebrating my 30th birthday. The boat is just the right size for our group of 11. Captain Kahar provided us with water, a cooler, ice and a huge speaker that we can play our music. Kahar was great at communicating and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. The weather was also perfect, sunny, but not crazy hot. It was just the right temperature to jump into the lake. Overall, it was the boat/birthday party I've dreamed, and definitely something I will remember forever. I would highly recommend it to any group looking to do something fun on the water. Thank you Kahar.
This boat ride was the perfect way to spend the afternoon celebrating my mother’s 75th birthday. The boat is very spacious for our group of 12. Both adults and children enjoyed it. Communication was very easy with Blake. He also has lots of experience as boat captain. I strongly recommend this experience for your next celebration.
What an incredible experience!! My boat was in the shop and I needed a boat last minute for my sons 16th birthday party. Troy was a life saver. Not only did he take the booking last minute but he was so professional and helpful. The boat is amazing!! I am seriously thinking about selling my boat and buying one like this. It's super clean and it looks brand new. Troy also goes above and beyond, he had tons of life jackets, all safety equipment and even clean towels!!! I would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about renting a boat!
