Neon queens on deck! This hens party brought the fun, flair and fanny packs to the Gold Coast waterways.

Planning a hens party should be exciting, not stressful — and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a private cruise on the stunning Gold Coast waterways. Whether you’re the maid of honour, best friend, or bride-to-be, this guide will help you plan an unforgettable experience on the water.

1. Choose the Right Boat

Inspiration Cruises offers a private luxury charter for up to 25 guests. With spacious decks, sound systems, catering options, and BYO-friendly policies, it’s the perfect venue for a floating hens party.

2. Pick the Perfect Time

Sunset cruises are magical and Insta-worthy, while mid-afternoon charters are great for swimming and sunshine. Choose based on your vibe — relaxed and classy or wild and energetic.

Themed dress-ups bring a whole new level of fun — especially at golden hour!

3. Add Some Entertainment

Topless waiters, DJs, games, and custom playlists can take your cruise to the next level. Make it personal with inside jokes, hen-themed decorations, or a cheeky scavenger hunt.

Want to surprise the bride-to-be? Optional topless waiters or fun party hosts are always a hit with the group.

4. Food & Drinks

Keep your hens hydrated and happy with delicious food and drinks. You can BYO or ask us about catering options. Seafood platters, grazing boards, and champagne buckets are always a hit!

5. Plan the Details

Coordinate with the Inspiration Cruises team to plan departure times, pickups, decorations, and any extras. We make sure everything is smooth so you can focus on having fun.

6. Capture the Memories

Bring a Polaroid, a designated photo-taker, or even a photographer. You’ll want to capture every laugh, dance, and champagne clink against the Gold Coast skyline.

7. Book Early!

Hens parties are one of the most popular cruise types on the Gold Coast, especially during spring and summer weekends. Secure your preferred date early to avoid missing out.
