If you’re looking to throw the mother of all parties this summer, how does a barbecue on a 51-foot cruiser in Tokyo Bay sound? With House Boat Club, you can do just that: the company lets you charter a luxury vessel for a couple of hours of gastronomic indulgence on the water.
Enjoy spectacular views of Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge while munching on freshly-cooked steaks and burgers, washed down with an all-you-can-drink selection of tipples including draft Ebisu, wine, whisky, shochu, cocktails and soft drinks.
House Boat Club takes care of all the equipment, drinks, cutlery and seasonings—all you need to do is bring your friends and something to cook. Pick-up is available from Kachidoki, Aomi or Etchujima, after which you and your party will be taken on a ride around the bay, mooring for an hour to allow for some quality BBQ action. Once you’re done, they’ll drop you off again, and you won’t even have to worry about cleaning up after yourselves. It’s like being a multi-millionaire, just a whole lot cheaper.
It costs 115,000 yen (including tax) to charter the boat for up to 14 people, or 8,000 yen per person (6,000 yen for kids aged 4-12) for groups of 15 or more. Note that the service may have to be cancelled due to strong wind or stormy weather.

In my experience, the sanitation on board those short cruises in the bay is pretty awful and I've made it a point to stick to bottled refreshments exclusively.

"It costs 8,000 yen per person"
And you have to bring the beef, chicken, pork, shrimp & veggies! Heck, I know a multitude of places where you can gorge yourself on BBQ & beer for way less than that.

All the yakiniku, veggies, salad, ice cream, etc. you can eat in 90 minutes for 2,000 yen!

fatfrenchfool - I posted the name of the place, but, alas, it was removed. I guess you'll have to find it yerself, or spend 115,000 yen for this cruiser BBQ!

Ebisu is a neighborhood. Yebisu is a beer.

That is like a suicide....BBQs on boats are very dangerous....I knew someone who did that stupidity, his body was half burnt and his face unrecognizable. The guy went crazy after a while and left his wife too. It was very terrible to watch it all.
