Spend 3 Hours Cruising Auckland's Harbour for your Christmas Party.

Bring yourselves, your own catering, and make the Riverhead Ferry your Christmas Party Venue! With a bar on board, plenty of space, and ports to plug your own music, you'll deliver an end-of-year send-off your group or team won't ever forget.

Dance the year away with a drink in hand while you cruise under the Harbour Bridge, past Hobsonville Point, and into some of Auckland's most beautiful and unseen waters. Choose from a day cruise or an evening cruise — we recommend one that sees the sunset over the city! Afterwards, we will drop you back where you can continue your party. Maybe next door at Swashbucklers?

For private party cruises, we take a maximum of 30 people. If you have more than 30 people please get in touch with us at info@riverheadferry.co.nz for special consideration. 

What you'll see

What you'll see will depend on safe water and wind direction, but could include four of Auckland’s icons – the Harbour Bridge, Rangitoto Island, Bean Rock Lighthouse, and The Sky Tower. Or we will head up the Riverhead to see Herald Island, Greenhithe Bridge, and the Chelsea Sugar Factory.

Drop off & pick-up.

Your pick-up location is now Z Pier, Westhaven Marina. If you want to be picked up from another wharf, let us know. Find out how to get to us here.

Food & Drink

Enjoy the range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as bar snacks available for purchase. Self-catering for food required. We recommend the Cater Station or bring your own food to grill on our Weber BBQ. BYO food is free of charge. Eftpos available!
