For the Nights That Matter

Some moments deserve more than a function room. We've hosted plenty of them out on the harbour — here's the kind of night we do best.

Engagements & Proposals

A private sunset on the water is hard to beat for popping the question — we'll quietly help with the timing and the setup.

Milestone Birthdays

30ths, 40ths, 50ths, 60ths and beyond — the whole boat, your people, and room to make a proper night of it.

Anniversaries

Mark the years with dinner and drinks as the harbour turns gold — intimate for two or a gathering of the family.

Farewells & Reunions

Send-offs, homecomings and get-togethers — the kind of evening people remember long after the boat's back at the wharf.

From Idea to On the Water

1 · Tell Us the Plan

Your occasion, rough guest numbers, the date you're after and any must-haves. The more we know, the better we can shape the night.

2 · We Build the Quote

We put together a tailored quote covering catering, drinks, timing and the route — and work with your suppliers if you've got them.

3 · You Celebrate

On the night, Grace and the crew run the show so you don't have to. You're a guest at your own event.

Special Occasion FAQs

How many guests can you take?

The Cape Adieu is surveyed for up to 60 guests on a harbour cruise, with three separate deck areas to spread across. It works just as well for an intimate dinner for a handful as it does for a full boat.

How does pricing work?

Every special occasion is custom, so pricing depends on guest numbers, catering, drinks and how long you're out. Get in touch with your details and we'll put together a tailored quote — no two events are the same.

Can we bring our own cake, decorations or suppliers?

Absolutely. Bring your own cake, and we'll either help with styling ourselves or work alongside your decorator, florist or photographer. Drinks are from the licensed bar on board, so no BYO alcohol.

Can we have music and speeches?

Yes — there's a PA system on board for speeches and playlists, and we can arrange live music. When it's time to raise a glass and say a few words, everyone hears it.

How long is a charter and when can we go?

Timing is flexible — sunset, evening or extended charters — and we'll plan it around the tide and your event. Exclusive charters run year-round; we'll confirm a date that suits.

Can you help plan a proposal?

We've quietly set up a proposal or two. Let us know what you've got in mind and we'll help with the timing, the spot and keeping it a surprise.

Your Night on the Harbour
