What types of parties can I book the boat for?
Absolutely any celebration! Our party boat is perfect for birthday parties, hens nights, bucks parties, graduation cruises, engagement parties, anniversary dinners, Christmas parties, corporate events, New Year's Eve, and anything else you want to celebrate. If you have a special occasion, we have the perfect charter for you.
Is the boat completely private for our group?
100% yes. The entire catamaran is exclusively yours — no other passengers, no strangers. Your party 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 throughout your booking.
How many guests can come on the party boat?
Our power catamaran comfortably accommodates up to 38 guests. The ideal group size is 10–30 guests, but we can accommodate up to 38 on a private charter. Whether you have a small intimate gathering of 10 or a big squad of 35+, the boat has plenty of space to party in style.
Can we BYO food and alcohol on the party boat?
Yes! BYO food, snacks, and drinks are fully welcome with absolutely no corkage fees. We provide glasses, ice, and cooler space onboard. You can bring wine, champagne, beer, spirits, and cocktail mixes — plus a birthday cake, finger food, grazing boards, sushi platters, and anything else you'd like. No restrictions on what you bring!
Where does the 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 (5 min), Broadbeach (10 min), and Brisbane (45 min). The Gold Coast Broadwater is one of the most stunning settings for a party boat cruise in Queensland.
Can we play our own music on the party boat?
Absolutely! 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 party anthems, RnB, pop hits, or whatever vibe your group loves. Your party, your music.
How far in advance should we book a party boat on the Gold Coast?
Weekend dates fill up very fast — we recommend booking 4–6 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 Gold Coast party boat hire cost?
Our 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. $1,500 ÷ 20 guests = just $75 per person for 3 hours of private party boat fun! No hidden fees or surcharges.
Is a Gold Coast party boat worth it?
Without a doubt — it's consistently rated as one of the most unique and memorable party experiences on the Gold Coast. Instead of a crowded bar or overpriced venue, you get the whole catamaran to yourselves with stunning Broadwater views, your own music, and the freedom to celebrate exactly how you want. Every guest remembers the experience long after the party ends.
