Planning a Toms River kids birthday party, step by step
Because weekend dates sell out fast, a little planning goes a long way. Here is a simple plan for kids birthday parties Toms River families book with us:
- Pick your package: First Mate gives you the whole ship, Quarter Master adds the pirate party room, and Buccaneer covers 20 guests on a shared sailing plus the party room.
- Count every guest: next, build the guest list with kids and grown-ups together. Babies count too, and 43 is the Coast Guard limit.
- Order food through us: food isn’t included in any package, so after booking you send in our order form for pizza, subs, cupcakes and drinks 1 week before the party. Outside vendors aren’t permitted.
- Time the arrival: then ask guests to arrive 30 minutes before sailing, not earlier, because marina parking is limited. Anyone early can wait next door at Windward Beach Park, which has a beach and playgrounds.
- Celebrate after the sail: finally, with the Quarter Master or Buccaneer package, the party moves to New Jersey’s only custom pirate-themed birthday party room, already decorated for you.
