The Ultimate Perth Hens Party: Day & Night Cruise Ideas

Planning an unforgettable luxury send-off for the bride-to-be? Skip the predictable venue hire. From sun-drenched daytime island getaways to high-energy private floating nightclubs, the Swan River and WA coast offer the ultimate backdrop for her final fling. Whether you want a relaxed afternoon sipping champagne or a themed dance party under the stars, Pelican Charters brings your vision to life on Perth’s premier charter vessels.

Maid of Honour Planning Checklist

  • Step 1: Check the Guest Count – Match your group size to either The Pelican (up to 48) or Livewire (up to 55).
  • Step 2: Lock In the Vibe – Choose an island day-trip getaway or a scenic Swan River sunset cruise.
  • Step 3: Organise the Drinks – Bring your own alcohol or enjoy direct delivery to the boat via the Carlisle Hotel.
  • Step 4: Book the Entertainment – Arrange your playlist or DJ, and tell our crew if we need to pick up male waiters along the river route.

Perth Hens Day Ideas: Sun, Snorkeling & Island Vibes

Make the most of the Western Australian sunshine with a daytime luxury cruise. Gather the crew in your finest summer outfits, pack the eskies, and set sail for a pristine island paradise.

  • Carnac Island Wild Escape: Drop anchor at a local sanctuary to swim alongside wild sea lions and spot local marine life.
  • Rottnest Island VIP Day Trip: Cruise over to Rotto for a premium day of snorkeling, paddleboarding, and sunbathing on deck.
  • Swan River Champagne Lunch: Enjoy a scenic drift down the river towards the Swan Valley, stopping for grazing boards and cocktails.

Perth Hens Night Ideas: Your Private Floating Nightclub

Transform your private charter boat into the most exclusive VIP lounge in Perth. Once the sun sets over the water, the volume goes up.
  • Glitz & Glamour Themes: Coordinate matching pajamas, dress up in vintage Hollywood attire, or choose a vibrant festival theme.
  • Mid-River Dance Floor: Crank the music without worrying about noise complaints or busy inner-city lines.
  • Sunset Cocktail Cruises: Watch the Perth city skyline light up from the water while sipping the bride's favorite drinks.

Choose Your Private Luxury Charter Vessel

Unlike older, noisy vessels, our modern fleet features ultra-quiet engines. This means absolutely no disruptive diesel fumes and no engine rumble overpowering your music tracks.

We operate two distinct, meticulously maintained charter boats departing from prime locations at Barrack Street Jetty (Perth CBD) and Fremantle:

The Pelican (Up to 48 Guests)

Perfect for casual mingling, long lunches, and relaxed daytime sightseeing. Features a wide, open-plan lower deck for socialising alongside a cozy carpeted upper lounge area for premium views.

Livewire (Up to 55 Guests)

Custom-built specifically for high-energy celebrations and big crowds. Features an expansive, single-level deck that maximises floor space to create the ultimate floating dance floor.

Fully Customisable BYO Food & Drink Policies

Keep your bachelorette party affordable, personalised, and tailored exactly to the bride’s tastes without expensive venue bar tabs.

        • Deep-Chill Commercial Eskies: Two massive 260-litre onboard ice chests keep your drinks freezing cold all day.
        • Pre-Order Delivery Available: Order bulk drinks and ice through our partners at the Carlisle Hotel to have them delivered directly to the boat before boarding.
        • Fully Equipped Galley & BBQ: Use our onboard kitchen, large BBQ hotplates, household ovens, and gas burners. Cook yourself with the help of our deckhands, or hire external caterers.

  • Smartphone Audio Plug-In: Connect your phone straight into our premium marine sound system.
