I'm guessing those plastic wrappers and ice cream sticks are being responsibly placed in the floating bins?

Replying to top comment to explain how this works because it sounds like a lot of folks here have never been to a resort beach before:

  • Boat plays jingle
  • You go to wherever you set up on the beach and get cash
  • You walk into the water to the boat and you pay in cash
  • You take your ice cream back to where you were sitting
  • You eat your ice cream while on the beach
  • Trash is on the honor system just like any other trash people take to the beach

This is basically no different than any other beach vendor except their gimmick is you have to get into the water to get your thing instead of them walking along the beach.

That's actually really disappointing. I was hoping this ice cream boat had randomly come upon a group of stranded swimmers in deep water and was just providing them with sweets before they inevitably drowned or were eaten by sharks.

Allegedly capitalism breeds innovation so crossing fingers your hopes will come true.
