Your Bucks Party Cruise Marketplace
Compare bucks party boats, pick a few, enquire direct – free.
A boat solves the usual bucks party problem of keeping everyone together: once you've cast off, nobody drifts to another bar. Melbourne's bucks charters run along the Yarra River, around Docklands and Victoria Harbour, and in a couple of cases out onto Port Phillip Bay.
The five operators here cover a wide spread of group sizes. Boat4Hire suits a smaller crew, with skippered yachts Voodoo (12) and HQ (24), or Spaceship pontoons that up to 12 can take out themselves without a boat licence. ON A BOAT runs skippered river boats from Southbank for 8 to 30, with BYO on every boat.
For a big crowd, MV Pearl is a crewed 80-foot motor yacht for up to 67, Melbourne River Cruises takes 28 to 170 on the Yarra, and Party Boat Cruises has two licensed boats with dance floors for 20 to 180, From $300 per hour.
