The cost of hiring a boat varies depending on the type of vessel and the season, ranging from $350 to $2,500 per hour. Additionally, there may be a wharf pick-up and drop-off fee of $100-$200. Many boats offer BYO food and drinks options, which may include the use of crockery and the boat’s sound system for a per-person or set fee. We will provide a comprehensive breakdown of all expenses to avoid any surprises.

For a hassle-free, fully catered experience, packages that include waitstaff are available at a cost of $70 to $200 per person. Whether you’re on a tight budget or looking to splurge, we have everything you need for a memorable hens party boat cruise on Sydney Harbour.

Typically, boat hire during peak season (September – April) or on Saturdays year-round requires a hire time of 3-4 hours or more. However, some vessels do offer 3-hour hires year-round. During the low season (May – August) and on weekdays year-round, most boats and yachts offer a minimum of 3-hour hires.

Typically, catamarans, yachts, and event boats are available for hens party hire during the afternoon or evening. Afternoon hires typically start at either 12pm or 1pm. If you’re planning a Sydney hens night, evening hires usually begin at 5pm or 6pm. Let us know your preferred time, and we will provide you with information on the available options.

If you’re planning a hens party celebration on a boat in Sydney, the package typically includes the vessel, a professional skipper, and a crew to navigate and manage the boat. Depending on the boat’s size and type, you may have the option of a BYO or all-inclusive package.

And why not add some fun to the mix with entertainment options like a DJ or a cheeky waiter? Don’t worry, we’ll provide you with a thorough review of the event package so you know exactly what’s included and any potential extra costs.

Booking in advance is recommended to secure your preferred time and date, especially for popular boats, which can be booked several months in advance, especially on Saturdays during the high season. We recommend booking at least three months prior to your event.

While we advise to plan ahead, we have experience in successfully planning last-minute hens events. If you need to plan a hens boat party on short notice, we’ll do our very best to find an available option for your preferred date and time.

When planning a Sydney hens boat party for 20 guests or fewer, your group’s budget and preferences will be the main two things to consider when choosing the right type of boat.

Generally there are BYO drinks options available for groups up to 45 guests. BYO boats will provide large eskies to keep your drinks nice and cold. Ice may or may not be included in your hire. We will let you know upon booking if your boat has the BYO option available and/or if a BYO fee applies so there will be no surprises.

It’s mandatory to have enough food onboard to comply with RSA guidelines. Most boats have onboard BBQs, and the crew will cook your food if you choose to bring your own. Alternatively, you can select one of the tasty catering options available, and we will handle the food arrangements for you. If you’re unsure whether your boat allows BYO food, we’ll clarify this for you when you enquire so that there are no surprises.

Yes you can! You can organise your own waiter, or we can put you in touch with our entertainment partners to organise your cheeky butler(s) for the day. 

Larger catamarans, yachts, and event boats are especially suitable for hosting DJ parties. Upon booking, we will inform you if having a DJ onboard is possible on your chosen boat. If you’re interested in having a DJ at your event but don’t have one lined up yet, don’t worry! We can help you arrange a DJ for your private boat party. Pricing and options for DJ services are available upon request, so please let us know if you need any assistance with this.

Depending on the vessel, this is possible. In particular, catamarans are a great option for a day of water play on Sydney Harbour. If you are on a vessel that has easy water access included, your captain will take you to the perfect secluded swimming spots. Please let our team know if swimming is something you’re interested upon enquiring.

Boats will head out in all weather conditions when deemed safe by the captain. If the weather is deemed unsafe and the captain needs to cancel, you will receive a 12-month voucher. This voucher is equal to the value of your booking and can be used to reschedule your charter. The past years we’ve had quite a few groups out with a bit of rain, and they all still had an amazing time! There is plenty of space on the boats to keep dry, and sometimes a little rain even adds to the fun!
