5 Reasons to Choose Our Hens Boat Party Packages Over DIY Planning
A hens boat party is the perfect send-off for the bride-to-be, sparkling water, warm sunshine, and your closest friends raising a glass on deck.
If you’ve ever tried to organise one yourself, you’ll know it’s far from simple. Finding a reliable boat, chasing up group payments, sorting food and drinks, and locking in entertainment can quickly turn what should be a fun day into a logistical headache.
We’ve been crafting unforgettable hens boat party packages for over a decade, so you get all the magic without the mayhem. From luxe yachts in Sydney Harbour to sun-soaked pontoons on the Gold Coast, our team handles every last detail, meaning you can just turn up and celebrate.
In this article, we’re spilling the five big reasons our packages outshine the DIY route.

Choosing the Best Boat for Your Hens Party
Every hens party crew is different, and so is every boat. That’s why our hens boat party packages start with matching you to the perfect floating venue for your bride-to-be’s style. Forget chasing boat owners or comparing confusing quotes – we’ve already done the hard work, so you can focus on the fun.
Luxury Yachts: For the ultimate glam factor. Think plush seating, polished decks, and plenty of space for champagne selfies. Perfect if your bride loves a touch of luxury and you’re aiming for that VIP atmosphere.
Catamarans: Spacious and social, catamarans are ideal for bigger groups who want plenty of room to dance, mingle, and make the most of those stunning water views.
When we build your package, we factor in group size, budget, preferred inclusions (like food and drinks), and even the season. The result? A boat that ticks every box, without a single planning headache.
How to Upgrade your Hens Party Cruise Package
A hens party boat cruise is a great way to celebrate, but adding the right extras can make it the hens party your group will remember for years.
Our hens boat packages come with endless ways to customise the day, all without you having to hunt down separate vendors.
Entertainment with Personality: Keep it cheeky with topless waiters pouring the bubbly, or let one of our fabulous drag queens host the laughs and games. Every package comes with options to match your bride’s vibe — from playful to glamorous.
Drinks Your Way: Pop the champagne with all-inclusive drinks packages, or choose BYO and we’ll have the glassware, ice, and setup ready to go when you step onboard.
Food for Every Crew: From luxe grazing platters and canapés to post-cruise dinner options, our curated menus keep everyone fuelled and fabulous.
With My Ultimate Hens, it’s one package, one booking, and every detail sorted so you can focus on celebrating your bride, not juggling logistics.
Why Hens Party Packages Beat DIY Boat Hire Every Time
We get it, on paper, hiring a boat yourself sounds like it might be cheaper. But once you start factoring in all the extras (and the hours you’ll spend organising them), the DIY option often ends up costing more than a curated package.
Here’s how it really stacks up.
My Ultimate Hens DIY Hire
- One booking covers your boat, entertainment, catering, crew, and extras.
- Professional crew, experienced skippers, and full safety compliance.
- Wet weather backup plans so the party goes ahead rain or shine.
- Transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
- Flexible payment options to make splitting costs easy.
DIY Hire
- Multiple bookings & contracts with different suppliers
- You're responsible for checking qualifications, safety gear & insurance
- If the weather turns, you may lose your booking & your deposit
- Hidden costs for fuel, staff, cleaning & equipment hire
- One person has to pay upfront & chase everyone for their share
The “DIY is cheaper” myth falls apart quickly once you factor in boat hire, catering, drinks, entertainment, permits, and all the hidden extras not to mention the hours spent trying to pull it all together.
With My Ultimate Hens, you’re booking a signature package that includes everything in one place. From trusted boats and entertainment to drinks and food, we handle every detail so you can simply show up and celebrate with your bride.
