Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Bearsgiving for?
All three events are men-only and 18+, built for bears, cubs, daddies, and anyone who belongs in that crowd.
Is it clothing-optional everywhere?
Only partially. Clothing is optional on the Love Boat itself and at the Saturday pool party. At Majahuitas Beach Club on Friday, clothing is required once you’re on land.
Do events run rain or shine?
Yes — confirmed directly with the organizer, all three Bearsgiving events take place rain or shine.
How many spots are there for the Love Boat?
Forty. It’s one sailing, once a year, and it sells out — book early if that’s the event you care about most.
What should I bring on the Love Boat?
Swimwear, sunscreen, a towel, and photo ID. Food, drinks, and return transport are included in the ticket price; gratuity is not.
Is the ticket price the total cost?
Yes for the Love Boat — the listed price is the full amount, nothing added at checkout. Tips for crew and hosts are separate and not included.
What’s the refund policy?
All sales are final. If you can’t attend, the organizer will transfer your ticket to a future similar Bearadise event with at least 24 hours’ written notice. No-shows aren’t refunded or rescheduled.
Can I take photos at these events?
Only in designated photo areas, and only with the consent of anyone appearing in your shot. Photography or video by unauthorized parties elsewhere on the venue isn’t permitted.
Could the lineup or venues change?
Yes — performers, venues, and exact timing can change without notice year to year. This page is updated as soon as the organizer confirms details for the current edition.
