THE GEAR

Everything you need—already packed

The package supplies a 6x4 Aqua Lounge shelter, a portable gas BBQ, a Bluetooth speaker, two 1.8 m tables, four 1.8 m bench seats and a floor mat—enough seating for a dozen people so you can arrive with food and company and leave the rest to the operator.

THE SOCIAL SCENE

Designed for groups and families

Marketed as great for families and intended for adult booking (age guidance noted), the lounge functions as a comfortable communal hub on the shore where friends and relatives can gather without fuss.

THE CONVENIENCE

Turnkey shore-side set up

Aqua 360 provides the shelter and kit so you only need to bring your people and provisions; extras like water-sports skis are arranged separately if required.

What the day feels like

How the three hours feel
