You Can Rent A Hot Tub In The Middle Of The Pacific Ocean & You Don't Need A Boat License

Sip cocktails while listening to the waves. 🌊

Contributing Writer

You can rent a hot tub in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and you don't even need a boater's license to do it.

This unique experience is in Victoria, B.C., and makes for a super fun night out on the water. It's run by Hot Tub Boat Victoria, and they're expanding to Vancouver soon.

The experience lets you pick your route in Victoria with a private hot tub experience. It costs about $70 per person to rent one, depending on when you go — and it looks like it's worth every penny.

If you don't live close by, you can take a spontaneous trip to the city and have some fun.

they even have a Bluetooth speaker that's provided, so you can bump those beats while enjoying the scenery. Maybe you will even spot a seal swimming beside you!

Boat tours last 1.5 hours and they can hold a capacity of six people — so you can bring a whole crew

Gather up your friends and make this adventure happen.

The fun time can also include a charcuterie board which can be purchased ahead of time.

It's also open for all seasons, keeping you toasty in the winter.

You'll feel like you're doing a cold plunge, but the hot tub is actually totally separate from the chilly ocean.

The hot tubs are also wood-fired, which is super cool.

You can make your bookings online or by phone, but they do require a minimum of three hours' notice.

It's the perfect way to relax and spend an evening in Victoria.
