If you are planning an event on the waters of the Brisbane River,

here are some tips to make your occasion more enjoyable.

Time of Year – Firstly, know which time of the year you want to book a luxury boat charter on the Brisbane River. Weather plays a big part in the type of experience you are seeking. For instance, during peak summer, it’s often hot and humid, and rain can be frequent and heavy. During the winter, it is drier; however, the evenings can be cold. Fortunately, you don’t have to let the rain bother you too much. Our yacht has many indoor spaces for you to enjoy and the Sun Room and spacious Saloon are completely weather-proof.
Food and Drinks – With our commercial-size kitchen, you can hire a caterer and enjoy professionally-prepared dishes. Or, you can throw some snags on the BBQ and chat as you share a casual lunch together. We have all the platters, plates and cutlery you could possibly require so there is no need to bring any plastic plates or utensils onboard during your luxury boat hire.
Time of Day – Do you enjoy the sunset and the stars or want a warm day for swimming and sun-bathing on the bow of the MV Baroness? You may choose to enjoy the sunset with bubbly and light snacks to watch the lights of Brisbane City and sneak a peek inside the waterfront mansions as you cruise the river under the stars. The MV Baroness is well-lit for socialising under the stars with twinkling bistro lights on the Bow and Back Deck.
Swimming – Only on a day trip to Moreton Bay can swimming be permitted. The size of the MV Baroness makes it difficult to anchor too close to land so swimmers must be proficient. The MV Baroness has a swim mat onboard and range of floatation toys for guests to enjoy. There is also a HUGE water Trampoline available. Ask our booking agent Janine about it.
