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

Dance the night or day 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! Afterward, 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. 

Best for

Birthdays, hens or stag do, weddings, work, engagement, or Christmas parties, social club outings, team building days, or spreading the ashes of your loved ones.

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.
