How to Organise a Hens Party Boat Cruise in Sydney
I think every bridesmaid can agree when we say that the bride deserves only the best hen party. Go big or go home, right? And what’s bigger than partying on a boat in the heart of Sydney Harbour? We think we all have the same idea.
Picture this: you, your squad, and the bride-to-be soaking up the sun on a luxury yacht charter with Sydney Harbour's iconic skyline as your backdrop, sipping cocktails, and dancing the day (or night!) away.
Doesn’t it sound perfect? We think so too! Let’s dive into how to organise an incredible hens party boat cruise that everyone will rave about.
Choose the right boat
Your hens party should be nothing less than epic, so choosing the right boat is key. Sydney’s got loads of options for boat hire, from cozy private yachts for an intimate vibe to decked-out party boat rentals with room for the whole squad.
Whether it’s an intimate celebration or a large gathering, a private yacht rental or party boat rental can set the tone for the day. This gives a luxurious touch to your hens party as you can choose from a range of vessels.
From catamarans, double-decker yachts to superyachts, Bucks Afloat has it all covered. Simply check out our boats here. You’ll find that these yachts often come with premium features such as spacious decks, onboard entertainment systems, and catering services.

Plan the perfect itinerary
Your yacht hire isn’t just about floating around; it’s about creating an experience the bride will never forget. Here are some killer ideas to start of your party:
- Champagne: Of course, you can never go wrong with mimosas.
- Dance party: Create a playlist of the bride’s favourite tunes or hire a DJ for a floating dance floor. Bonus points if someone knows the Macarena.
- Games: The flexibility of a yacht hire or private yacht rental means you can tailor the day to include fun activities like games (cheeky ones at that) or even karaoke.
Sort out catering and drinks
What’s a party without amazing food and drinks? Many private boat rental services in Sydney offer a complete catering and drinking package, but you can also go full BYO. Most boats have eskies and cutleries you can use. Don’t forget plenty of bubbly, cocktails, and mocktails to keep everyone hydrated and happy.
Pro tip: If you’re booking a crewed luxury yacht charter, you can also book an extra for a bartender or a mixologist who can mix drinks for everyone. Who doesn’t love feeling like a VIP? Don’t forget a selection of champagne, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages to keep everyone refreshed.
Consider decorations and themes
Did someone say theme? No hens party is complete without it! Whether you go for a classy all-white vibe, tropical chic, or full-on sailor costumes, a theme ties everything together. Decorate your private yacht rental with balloons, banners, and even a flower wall for those must-have group shots.
Feeling fancy? Our luxury boat hire in Sydney includes event styling packages, so you don’t have to lift a finger.

Book early
You don’t want to risk FOMO right? Sydney Harbour is a hot ticket for private events, so don’t wait until the last minute to book your party boat rental. Whether you’re considering a luxury vessel or a more intimate private yacht, early bookings ensure you get the best boat and prime time slots at the best price.
Add extra entertainment
If you really want to blow everyone’s minds, add some entertainment to the mix. You can hire A DJ spinning your favourite tracks, a mixologist making Insta-worthy cocktails, or the highlight of it all, cheeky adult entertainment! A topless waiter serving drinks might just be a cherry on top for the bride-to-be. It's her last moment as a single woman anyway.
Options could include:
- A live musician or DJ.
- A mixologist for on-deck cocktail-making classes.
- A fun photo booth with props.
