The Summer Drink of 2025

There’s something magical about cruising the back bays with the perfect drink in hand. As we kick off another amazing season of memories on the water, I wanted to share my absolute favorite cooler essential that’s become synonymous with our floating oasis experience.

If you’ve been aboard one of our charters lately, you’ve probably noticed I’m always reaching for the same refreshing can – Surfside (when off the clock, of course!). Forget the claws and all those other trendy hard seltzers, this is the real deal for your day on the water. As I like to tell our guests, you’re not doing the Shore right if you don’t have a Surfside in your cooler! It’s easily become the summer drink of 2025 in our circle.

We collaborated with our friend at DUNE by Sean Kelly to refresh the boat for 2025, blending casual luxury with coastal character for what has become our signature floating oasis experience. And just like we carefully curated every element of our boat’s atmosphere, I’m equally particular about the beverages I recommend for the perfect day on the water.

My Personal Rankings (Because Taste Matters)

After extensive “research” (someone’s gotta do it!), I’ve developed some strong opinions on the Surfside lineup:

  • The Champion: Half & Half Ice Tea remains the undisputed OG. This perfect blend has become my go-to recommendation for first-timers.
  • Strong Contender: Their recently debuted Green Tea line absolutely slaps! It’s quickly become my second favorite, and guests have been loving it too.

What makes these drinks so special – and why I’m calling them the summer drink of 2025? Unlike those overly carbonated options, Surfside is crafted with real ingredients – vodka, real tea, real juice – with only 100 calories, 2 grams of sugar, and zero bubbles. It’s clean, refreshing, and won’t leave you feeling bloated during a day in the sun.
