A mixture of corporate and entertainment personalities attended the party, with most patrons sticking to the dress code of bikinis and shorts. Although the boat was slated to leave dock at 11 a.m, things got under way minutes after midday. However, partygoers had already been experiencing the party vibes, taking full advantage of the free open bar and enjoying reggae, dancehall and hip-hop selections from DJ Supa Hype.

Patrons danced and networked as the boat sailed from downtown Kingston to Port Royal, where it lingered for a short while before sailing on to Lyme Cay. As soon as the boat arrived at the small low island, it grabbed the interest of many persons, who were on the beach or on their yachts nearby. Many in their yachts sailed by, staring longingly and even tried to join the party by sailing around the Caribbean Queen.

Social gathering

While some people remained on the boat to party, others went over to the Lime Cay to swim. They were taken in smaller boats, which also brought other partygoers from the beach and Port Royal to join the social gathering.

On board the boat, persons seemed to have been infected with the dancing fever, as hits like Swagger Like Us, Whatever You Like, Nuh Linga, Gully Creepa and others had people moving non-stop. However, it was the daggering songs that drew the strongest reactions with women wining down to the floor with their male counterparts.

Drinking and dancing

Dancehall artistes Alozade and Chico were most active in this segment, sometimes daggering more than one woman at a time. When the boat began to make its return back to the dock, minutes after 5 p.m., the party vibes continued to get stronger, as Vybz Kartel and Spice's hit tune Rampin' Shop blasted from the speakers.

Minutes after 6 p.m. when the boat pulled into dock, many persons were still busy drinking and dancing, signalling that they had no intention to stop partying anytime soon.
