Welcome aboard BBQ Buoys!
Are you ready to embark on Adelaide’s most spectacular boat ride? These self-driven, donut shaped boats are the talk of the Torrens and offer a completely unique, fun and adventurous way to spend quality time with family, friends and workmates. Our Buoys come with either a BBQ or table in the middle, have a wide selection of drinks available and can fit up to 10 people per boat. So whether you have an upcoming birthday, hens/bucks, corporate event or are just looking for something fun to do in Adelaide, BBQ Buoys have all bases covered to ensure you have the maximum amount of #funafloat!
HOW IT WORKS
-
Pricing is based on the number of people coming aboard for some #funafloat. Most of our Buoys hold up to 10 people (to a max of 1,000kg/2,200 lbs). Babies under 12 months are most welcome on board, receive a suitable life jacket and don't count as passengers because they travel on your lap. Everyone else counts as a full person (sorry, not exceptions - maritime laws apply). For larger crews, please check our group booking options.
Select Group Size
Let us know how many people you're having on board (up to 2p, 6p, 10p or more)
-
Depending on the season, day and time of your preferred cruise, we recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance. There's no need to order drinks and food at the time of booking. You can book your cruise today and add any extras later, even up to 1 day before the cruise.
Pick a Date
Book ahead to snag your ideal date and time.
-
Choose from a classic and premium range of South Australia's most popular boutique wine labels and breweries.
Enjoy an individually prepared Cheese 'n Meat platter, prepared with lots of love and made from local produce wherever possible. We have two sizes available: the regular (nibbles for 6p) and large (nibbles for 10p). Gluten Free, Vegetarian and Vegan options are available for all sizes.
Add a little luxe with premium tableware (porcelain plates, glass cups and stainless steel cutlery). Dress your skipper with a captain's hat and spoil the beer lovers with a stubby holder to keep their drinks cool.
Select Your Extras
Eat, drink and be merry with our selection of SA's finest drinks (NO BYO drinks).
-
Every boat is equipped with either a certified safe gas barbecue or a table top. You'll be asked to select one option when you book but you can let us know any time before the cruise if your food plans change.
Choose Your Setting
Cook up a storm on our certified gas barbecues or select a table if cooking isn't your jam.
-
At the time of booking, pay in full for the boat hire and any extras added to your order. If you book more or all extras at a later stage, we'll charge the same credit card unless you advice us otherwise. We accept AMEX, MasterCard, Visa and Alipay.
