Organizing a junk trip is always a chaotic process – even more so when your guests are a group of swimsuit-clad party-ers pumped on adrenaline and thirsty for some Vitamin D. But fear not, for The Loop HK has rounded up a few of the city’s most reliable junk caterers to help you on your next sea-bound excursion.
The Bottle Shop
Celebrating its fourth anniversary, The Bottle Shop is now offering three cases of cold ones (Golden Axe Cider, Stone & Wood Green Coast Lager, and Mountain Goat Pale Ale — a total of 24 bottles) for $2,400. If you want to avoid glass-related accidents on board, go for the Moon Dog beer cans instead (one case for $700 or two for $1,200). A three-day pre-order is required and self-pick up on the weekends begins at 8:30am.
GF, 114 Man Nin Street, Sai Kung, 2791-1600, mail@thebottleshop.hk.
Invisible Kitchen
Take gourmet dining out to sea with Invisible Kitchen’s $200 to $350 per-person packages. We’re talking everything from hampers packed with artisanal treats and hearty snacks with a classy twist, to a full-blown four-course meals served by waiters and bar staff.

Young Master Ales
Craft beer brand Young Master Ales recently launched an X Pick-Up craft beer delivery service to Central Pier. From June to September, party-goers can pay $1,000 for two whopping cases of beer on board, so long as they remember to put in the order two days prior to sailing.

22 Ships
The Jason Atherton-run tapas bar brings a touch of Spain from Ship Street to the sea. Weekend sailors can now enjoy all-time-favorites like Mixed Charcuterie with pickles, duck rillette with marmalade and crisp peppers, and Gambas prawns with lemon mayonnaise — directly on their next cruise. Available throughout summer, junk-goers can even go the extra mile by having executive chef Aaron Gillespie on-board to prepare a customized feast.
