Can we bring decorations and sashes onboard for the hens party?
Absolutely! Banners, sashes, tiaras, balloons, fairy lights — all welcome. We ask you avoid confetti or anything that could harm the marine environment. Let us know in advance and our crew can help set up before departure. Many groups bring personalised bride-to-be sashes, matching outfits, and props for photos on the Broadwater.
Is the boat completely private for our hens group?
100% yes. The entire catamaran is exclusively yours — no other passengers, no strangers. Your hens crew has the whole boat for the full duration of your cruise. This is a fully private charter, meaning you have exclusive access to both the open deck and the indoor lounge area for the duration of your booking.
How many guests can come on the hens party boat?
Our power catamaran comfortably accommodates up to 38 guests. The ideal hens group size is 10–30 guests, but we can accommodate up to 38 on a private charter. Whether you have a small intimate group of 10 or a big squad of 35+, the boat has plenty of space for everyone to celebrate.
Can we BYO food and alcohol on the hens party boat?
Yes! BYO food, snacks, and drinks are fully welcome with no corkage fees. We provide glasses, ice, and cooler space onboard. You can bring wine, champagne, beer, spirits, and cocktail mixes — plus a birthday or hens cake, finger food, grazing boards, and anything else you'd like. Just remember to drink responsibly.
Where does the hens party boat depart from on the Gold Coast?
We depart from Southport / Main Beach on the Gold Coast Broadwater. The exact departure location is confirmed at time of booking. There is free parking nearby and the location is easily accessible from Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, and other Gold Coast areas. The Gold Coast Broadwater is one of the most stunning settings for a hens party cruise in Queensland.
Can we play our own hens party playlist?
Yes! Connect your phone via Bluetooth and take full control of the party soundtrack. Our quality sound system covers the entire boat — open deck and indoor lounge. Crank your favourite hens party anthems, RnB, pop hits, or whatever vibe the bride-to-be loves.
How far in advance should we book a hens party boat on the Gold Coast?
Weekend dates fill up very fast — we recommend booking 4–8 weeks in advance for Friday and Saturday evenings. School holidays and peak season (December–January) also book out early. Weekday bookings may have more flexibility. Secure your date with a deposit as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
How much does a hens party boat hire cost on the Gold Coast?
Our hens party boat packages start from $1,000 for a 2-hour private charter (up to 38 guests), $1,500 for 3 hours, and $3,000 for a full 6-hour day charter. All pricing is for the entire boat — not per person — so the more guests you bring, the better value it becomes. There are no hidden fees or surcharges. Prices may vary slightly on public holidays and peak season.
Is a Gold Coast hens party boat a good idea?
Absolutely — it's one of the most popular and memorable hens night ideas on the Gold Coast! Instead of a crowded bar or restaurant, you get the whole catamaran to yourselves with stunning Broadwater views, your own music, and the freedom to celebrate exactly how you want. Many brides say it was the best hens party they've ever attended. The Gold Coast Broadwater offers beautiful scenery, calm waters, and a unique backdrop for photos and celebrations.
