Canberra Party Boat

About Canberra Party Boat

Canberra Party Boat is a privately chartered party vessel on Lake Burley Griffin, run by Clint and Charmaine Rees under the name Canberra Cruises and Parties since 2020. The boat, the Maid Marion, takes up to 35 guests plus crew and boards from a jetty on Trevillian Quay at the Kingston Foreshore. The layout splits into an enclosed lower deck and an open upper deck, so groups can dance and eat inside while others head upstairs for the views of Black Mountain and the lakeside landmarks. Every charter comes with party lights, a sound system with a microphone, karaoke, a television for slideshows or presentations, tables and chairs, heating and cooling, and two toilets. You also get 45 minutes before departure to decorate. Charters run from two to four hours, with standard slots at late morning, mid-afternoon and evening. Guests can bring their own food and drinks, or the crew can supply beverage packages, drinks on tap and catering. Extras include a slushie machine, a barbecue the crew will cook on, lawn games such as giant Jenga and quoits, and an instant camera kit with a guest book. The boat hosts hens and bucks nights, Christmas parties, staff and corporate functions, anniversaries and farewells, and birthdays from first birthdays through to 18ths, 21sts, 50ths and 90ths. Outside private charters it also runs guided scenic lake cruises for community, school and seniors groups.
