In 2004, we just blew the whistle and said let's throw a party on the water. You grab your junk boat, I'lI grab mine, and we'll meet at the same place. And together, we ended up with a thousand guys and gals on 10-15 boats on the water. Each with its own wonderful representation of our LGBTQ community. Friends brought friends together to hang out on junk boats, some brought music and some brought the coolest inflatables, we meet new friends and enjoy the diversity, the volume and power of our community as one. We have boats representing gay social groups, le***an groups, club organizers, web portals, gay bars, friends of g**s, le***ans, college groups, bears, club kids, the daddy set including a whole bunch of strait friends that
make up our family and enjoy our vibe. It's just a whole bunch of people that have simply self organised their friends to come. How do you participate in Floatilla? Simply call your friends and book your own boat through any of the junk boat companies in Hong Kong. Or find a group of friends who already have a boat, or ask your favourite organisation if they are hosting. Or finally post to the Floatilla page and let folks know you're looking for a spot on someones boat. There is alway a friendly team to pick you up and have you join them. REMINDER: Floatilla just sets an annual date and location, that's it. There is no organiser or sponsor or host, this is a free event so thought a community driven it is owned by you. You rent the boat, you decide who is on your boat, you define your catering needs and costs, what time to pick up, and from where. SAFETY & RESPONSIBILITY: Every boat and boat organiser is responsible for your own safety, responsibility and risk. We expect everyone to follow the orders of your boat captains under your rental agreements, We expect everyone to follow all laws of Hong Kong and no drugs. Be safe and know the risks of currents and your swimming ability in the ocean.
