Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A floating tray assembly comprising:
 a platform, the platform has a central aperture; and   a plurality of receptacles in the platform, wherein each receptacle is configured to receive a container, wherein a center of each receptacle of the plurality of receptacles is equidistant from a center of the central aperture, wherein the platform is configured to float in water.   
     
     
         2 . The floating tray assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of receptacles comprises three receptacles. 
     
     
         3 . The floating tray assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein a wall of each receptacle of the plurality of receptacles, near an open-top of each receptacle, extends outwards and then upwards to form a step. 
     
     
         4 . The floating tray assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein the floating tray assembly further comprises a plurality of adaptors, wherein each adaptor is configured to fit onto the step of the respective receptacle, wherein the adaptor is configured to securely hold the container. 
     
     
         5 . The floating tray assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein the central aperture further comprises a step in a wall of the central aperture, wherein the floating tray assembly further comprises:
 a cap configured to be seated on the step of the central aperture; and   a rope that has a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the rope is coupled to the center of the cap, the distal end is configured to couple to an anchor.   
     
     
         6 . The floating tray assembly according to  claim 5 , wherein the central aperture is further configured to receive the plurality of adaptors as stacked for storage. 
     
     
         7 . The floating tray assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the platform has a top layer and a base, wherein the top layer is bonded to the base. 
     
     
         8 . The floating tray assembly according to  claim 7 , wherein a front portion of the platform is arched. 
     
     
         9 . The floating tray assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein the step is perpendicular.
