Boats for hire in Melbourne

Do you want to party all night on a Melbourne boat? We know what your answer is. VenueNow makes it easy for you find the best boats available for private events in Melbourne, and we've got some tips below that will make sure you have an unforgettable time!

What should I consider before hiring a boat?

There are a number of things to think about before hiring your boat, such as the length of time you want the boat for and how many people will be attending. If it's just going to be two or three hours in an evening then one option may be cheaper than another which is rented out all day for 12 hours. The capacity should also match what you need; if there are 20 guests and 100 metres isn't enough, don’t book that particular vessel!

What sort of boats can I hire?

You can pick from any type of Melbourne boat available at VenueNow including small party barges with deckspace up to 130 metres in size. There are even luxury yachts available!

What food and beverage options are available on boats?

There are a number of food and beverage options available to hire for your boat party. You can choose from traditional nibbles such as finger foods, sandwiches or sushi platters; meat boards with cold meats and cheeses; more substantial fare including barbecue packs, seafood packs or pasta dishes up to eight portions each!

What type of events can be hosted on boats in Melbourne?

A Melbourne boat party could be anything from a private event for friends and family, to an engagement party or wedding reception. The size of the boat you hire will depend on how many people it can accommodate at any one time so make sure you take that into consideration when booking.

How much does a Melbourne boat cost to hire?

The cost of hiring a boat in Melbourne varies depending on the size and location. Prices start at 200 for an hour or so, but larger boats which can accommodate up to 30 people will set you back between 1500-2000.
