Get on board early and spend 3 Hours Cruising Auckland's beautiful Harbour for your Christmas Party.

The first round is on us when you come on board for you Weekday Christmas celebration.

Bring your team or crew and your own catering, and make the Riverhead Ferry your Christmas Party Venue! With a bar on board, plenty of space, and play your own music, you'll deliver an end-of-year send-off your group or team won't 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 [email protected] 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.
