Uni Boat Party – FAQs

How much does a uni event cruise cost?

Ranging from $60 – $120 per person, our all-inclusive pricing can vary based on factors like the boat type, cruise duration, guest count, and any extra services you choose. We’ll customise a quote to match your uni event’s specific needs and preferences.

What is the duration of a uni boat party hire?

Typically, the uni boat packages include a hire time of 3-4 hours. 

What times are available for a uni party cruise?

Uni boats are available for hire during the afternoon or evening. Afternoon hires typically start at either 12pm or 1pm, while evening hires usually begin at 6pm or 7pm. Let us know your preferred time, and we will provide you with information on the available options.

How far in advance should I book?

It’s a good idea to book ahead of time so you can get the boat, date, and time you want, especially if it’s a popular one. We suggest booking at least three months in advance to be safe.

But we understand that sometimes you might need to book at the last minute, and we have lots of experience assisting with that. If you need to plan a university social party on short notice, we’ll try our best to find you a great available option!

I don’t know how many people are coming—should I wait to book?

Especially in high season, boats get booked up fast, so if you wait too long, you might miss out on your favourite vessel.

No worries if you’re not sure about the exact number of guests yet. We’ll always let you know the minimum number of people needed to run your cruise.

If you’ve got your heart set on a boat but aren’t 100% sure how many people will be joining, we can lock it in with the minimum number you expect. You’ll have the flexibility to tweak the final guest count up to 14 days before your cruise.

How do I book and what deposit is needed?

When it comes to booking, we need a $2,000 non-refundable deposit to lock in your cruise.

After that, we’ll work out a payment plan with you, so you can pay off the rest in instalments as you collect money from ticket sales.

Simply fill out the form at the bottom of this page, and we’ll check availability for your preferred date and group size. Once you enquire, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to organise your uni boat party with us.

What is included in the packages?

For your uni party cruise, you can typically expect the following inclusions:

  • The Boat: A top-notch vessel for you and your group.
  • Skipper & Crew: A professional team to handle navigation and manage the boat.
  • Unlimited Drinks: A drinks package that includes wine and beer for guests over 18.
  • Food: A buffet or pizza to keep everyone fuelled up.
  • Security: To ensure everything runs smoothly.
  • DJ & Dance Floor: A DJ to keep the beats going and a dance floor to show off your moves.
  • Photobooth: Some of our boats come with a photobooth included, or we can provide you with a quote to add one to your package.

We’ll give you a full rundown of everything included in your event package and let you know if there are any extra costs you need to be aware of.

Will there be a DJ & Dance Floor?

A DJ and dance floor are included in your package to kick off the party! You can let us know your preferred music style, so the DJ plays exactly what you want, or leave it to the pro to read the crowd and keep the vibes going! 🙂

If you’d rather bring your own DJ, that’s totally possible too. Just keep in mind that since Uni Social packages are already heavily discounted, there won’t be any additional discounts for providing your own DJ.

If you decide to bring your own, we’ll give you all the details on the requirements and equipment they’ll need to bring.

What type of drinks & food are available?

Free Flowing Drinks
For guests 18+, we offer unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks. Plus, some boats offer upgrades if you want to include spirits.

Guests under 18 can’t access alcoholic beverages. However, some boats use a wristband system, allowing mixed-age groups to enjoy the event together.

We also have options with a cash bar. We’ll confirm all your choices when you enquire.

Food Options
To meet RSA guidelines, we need to make sure there’s enough food available during your cruise. The food options vary depending on the vessel and might include a buffet, pizza, or other choices.

We can cater for vegetarians and will detail other dietary requirements we can accommodate upon request.

We’ll give you a quote with all the drinks & food options available for your specific boat so you know exactly what’s on offer.

Where does the boat depart from?
The standard pick up and drop off location is the centrally positioned King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour. 

However, if another location suits you better, we can enquire with the boat operator about its availability and let you know.
What if it rains?

Boats will set sail in all weather conditions deemed safe by the captain. However, in the event that the captain deems the weather unsafe and cancels the charter, you will be issued a voucher that’s valid for 12 months. This voucher will be equivalent to the value of your original booking, allowing you to reschedule your charter for another time.

Don’t worry if there’s a little rain, though! We’ve had plenty of groups cruise with us in less-than-ideal weather conditions, and they’ve all had a blast. All boats have plenty of covered areas to keep you dry, and sometimes, a bit of rain can even add to the fun!

I’ve got many more questions… help!

We had an absolute ball on NYE! Travis and Karin looked after our booking so perfectly and really guided us through all the options before finding the perfect solution for us.

I recently organised a boat for my birthday through Sydney Harbour Days and found the whole process with Travis and Karin incredibly smooth and enjoyable. They were very responsive and helpful, and really ensured we had the best day possible. I would highly recommend using Sydney Harbour Days and I know for certain I’ll be using them again!!

Kris W – Jan 2022

I just wanted to thank you and the boat operators for an amazing day out on the harbour. The entire team had a great day, we swam, we shot guns, we danced and we drank!! The food was fabulous and everyone was raving about how good it was. My team have been on a fair few harbour cruises in our time, but none were as fun as this.

Coleen R – July 2022

Definitely had the best time ever in the boat! We are lucky enough as well to have the most gorgeous sunset! Everything made possible by Karin and Travis. They helped me plan every details and they keep me updated all the time. You won’t regret these two because they will reply as quick as they can.
