Bucks Party Boats in Brisbane

Picking the Right Bucks Party Cruise

A bucks cruise gets the group on the water with the bar, the music and the deck to themselves. River party boats suit a night of drinks and dancing past the CBD, while a private cruiser or a sailing catamaran on Moreton Bay makes a day out with swimming stops and a slower pace.

How to set up a bucks charter:

Lock in numbers first, since some river boats need 30 guests or more on Friday and Saturday nights
Smaller crews of up to 24 can book a flybridge cruiser at $750 per hour, minimum 3-hour charter
Ask about a buffet BBQ or finger-food menu to keep everyone fed
Check whether the boat has a smoking area for the cigar crowd
Bring a playlist or ask about a DJ for the trip
For a daytime trip, a sailing catamaran out of Cleveland stops for a swim at the islands

Start the day with go-karts or paintball before boarding, then head to one of the bucks party venues afterwards. See the bucks party page for more ideas.

Weather and safety

Hats and sunscreen are a must on the open deck
Follow the crew's instructions when swimming from the boat
