Booking and cancellation

Fortunately, current Government measures have no impact on our ability to offer cruises for up to 10p on board (please note, social distancing m2 rules don’t apply for groups of up to 10p on the same table/boat).
If restrictions change in the future we will be in touch with you as soon as possible via social media and if you have a booking with us then via direct mail.
Stay safe!
Flexi Option:
- Cancellation: Cancel up to 14 days (30 days standard) before your cruise day to receive 100% refund

*BAD weather/unsafe to operate: e.g. strong wind, heavy rain, thunderstorm, temperatures +38°C. **GOOD weather: all other conditions: e.g. light rain with low wind speed are acceptable, so are temperatures <38°C. ***Decisions based on weather forecast 1 day before functions date. We’ll contact you if needed!
This extra must be booked within 24hrs of creating the order and can’t be added after that.
Bad weather is no fun for anyone, so we will only operate the vessels if it is safe to do so according to weather conditions and the Adelaide City Council*. If we are forced to cancel your session you will have the option to reschedule your trip to an available slot in the same price category within the next 6 months (12 months if you have booked the Flexi Option) and according to our Terms and Conditions. Alternatively you may cancel the booking from your side and receive a 50% (100% if you have booked the Flexi Option) refund for the hire fee. All pre-ordered drinks are 100% refundable in any case.
For a small extra fee you can book our “Flexi Option” to receive 100% refund in bad weather cancellation situations and to have more freedom to reschedule up to 1 day before your initial cruise date.
Our main (but not only) source to decide potential closure of the station is the weather forecast for Adelaide on the Website of the Bureau of Meteorology. We will assess factors such as temperature, rain, wind, thunderstorm risk etc. We consider temperatures above 38 degrees Celsius as bad weather to allow you select between above listed options. We make all weather related decisions one day before the scheduled cruise and contact you if we need to reschedule or take any other action.
*Occasions arise when the Adelaide City Council or other Governmental bodies close the River Torrens even with short to no notice.
You may return your BBQ Buoy whenever you like during your allocated time; however there will be no refund for an early return.
Apart from facing the grouchy looks of the next customer, you will be charged $50 per 15 minutes over time as written in the terms and conditions. We will take it from your deposit.
If you don’t want the good times to end and there is no booking immediately after you, we will try our best. However, all extensions are subject to availability and at the discretion of BBQ Buoys crew.
15 minutes early please. You will need 15 minutes prior to departure for your safety briefing and driver’s assessment. If you do not pre-order drinks and you prefer to purchase them on the day, please allow a few extra minutes for the purchase process. Please note that ordering drinks on the day may cause delay and reduce your cruise time.
Yes, you do. A deposit of $100 will be charged at day of travel. If you bring our Buoys back to us on time and in agreed conditions, your deposit will be returned within 24 hours. Please read the terms and conditions, it’s important.
The easiest way is to book online. For customised bookings, you can email us or call us between 10am to 6pm.
Boat licence

No boating licence required, but you do need a full car licence and you must be at least 21 years old. Please present your driver’s licence on the cruise date.

No, bad idea. Fishing in this section of the River Torrens is strictly prohibited.
Sorry, no. You can see how tricky that would get. No pets not allowed on board.

It’s up to you. We can provide you with almost everything you need. Esky, ice, drinks, bluetooth speakers, cutlery, tongs, plates, cups, napkins and a rubbish bag. All you need to do is bring your crew. If you book the BBQ grill you will need to bring your meat, salad and liquid oil for the plates (no spray please). Do you prefer full service? Check our amazing cheese and meat grazers.
You can take your BBQ Buoy along the River Torrens from the Torrens Weir to the Frome Road Bridge. Collection and return is at Pinky Flat, off of War Memorial Drive unless otherwise stated in your booking confirmation.

廿六公園中浮标烧烤的租用站是一个大篷车，这使得提供浮标烧烤专用卫生间有点棘手。战争纪念大道的高尔夫球场、托伦斯河堰的报亭以及乔利船屋饭店后面的维多利亚大道都设有公共厕所。请使用建筑物右侧的公共厕所，并请不要占用咖啡店前的爱德公园登陆区。
The easiest way is to book online. For customised bookings, you can email us or call us between 10am to 6pm.
