About M.V. Jasmine

M.V. Jasmine is an 18-metre, two-level boat built for celebrations on the Brunswick River. It leaves from the Brunswick Heads boat harbour and takes up to 70 guests for a cocktail-style party, or about 50 at tables for a sit-down meal. The upper deck is open to the air with a canvas roof that rolls back, and there are booth lounges at the stern and seating at the bow. The interior centres on a long marble-topped bar pouring cocktails, wine and beer on tap, backed by a commercial kitchen with oven, fridges and dishwasher. A skipper, host, bartenders and wait staff look after each charter, and a Void sound system with DJ decks is built in. Private hire covers the whole boat for a minimum of three hours, with cruising times set around the tides. Hosts choose from antipasti, roaming canapés or multi-course set menus from the in-house chefs or partner caterers, then add a tiered drinks package, a bar tab or pay-as-you-go drinks. Resident DJs and live music, including a jazz band, can be added, along with styling, florals and a long custom-built table for seated dinners. The team names birthdays, hens parties, Christmas parties and corporate and brand events among its most common charters. Weddings are a big part of the calendar too, from ceremonies on deck and receptions to engagement parties, welcome dinners and recovery brunches, with an optional planning service for couples who want more help with the run of the day.

Frequently asked questions

How many guests can M.V. Jasmine take on a private charter?

The boat takes up to 70 guests for a standing cocktail and canapé party, or around 50 for a seated meal. Seated dinners for 30 or more use the custom long table, which is hired as an extra.

How long is a private charter on M.V. Jasmine?

Private charters run for a minimum of three hours, and longer charters are charged by the extra hour. Departure and cruising times are set around the tides on the Brunswick River, so the exact time is confirmed with your booking.

Can we bring our own food and drinks on M.V. Jasmine?

Food comes from the in-house chefs or a listed partner caterer, and an outside caterer can be used if the team approves it. Drinks are served from the onboard bar as a package, a bar tab or pay as you go, rather than BYO.

Does M.V. Jasmine host weddings and engagement parties?

Yes. Couples hold ceremonies on deck, receptions, engagement parties, welcome dinners and recovery brunches on board. Weddings attract a 30% supplement on the vessel hire, or couples can choose the dedicated planning service instead.

Can we have a DJ or live music on board M.V. Jasmine?

A resident DJ can play for the three-hour cruise, and live options such as a jazz band are available as extras. The boat has a built-in Void sound system and DJ decks, or you can supply your own playlist.
