Party Boats Byron Bay

Party boats around Byron Bay leave from Brunswick Heads, where calm river water suits a relaxed cruise rather than open-ocean swell. The vessel on this page has two levels, a bar and a full galley, and takes up to 70 standing or around 50 seated.

It is chartered privately for birthdays, hens parties, engagements, weddings, Christmas parties and work events.

Planning a charter:

• Price: $1,500 per hour, minimum 3-hour charter, so budget for the full block
• Catering: ask whether food is cooked on board in the galley or brought in by a caterer
• Drinks: options include a bar tab, beverage packages and pay-as-you-go drinks
• Music: there is a sound system and room for a DJ
• Boarding: confirm the departure point at Brunswick Heads and where guests can park

River cruising is less affected by ocean swell, but summer storms still matter, so ask how the operator handles bad weather. For hens groups, see hens party boats, and for a smaller trip on the ocean, look at water sports.
