Celebrate in true Noosa style aboard our traditional river ferry, where every moment feels effortless and relaxed. With spacious seating across two levels, guests can mingle freely while taking in the ever-changing river views.

As Noosa’s only BYO-friendly ferry charter, you have the flexibility to bring your favourite drinks, ensuring your celebration is just the way you like it. Whether it’s a birthday, milestone, or casual get-together, a Noosa Ferry charter offers a unique blend of charm, comfort, and classic cruising—all set against Noosa’s stunning waterways.

For a comfortable and spacious experience, we recommend a maximum of 60 passengers for an extended cruise. However, the vessel can accommodate up to 70 guests, providing flexibility for your special occasion on the water.

• Exclusive use of a classic Noosa Ferry vessel
• Up to two-hour private charter (option to extend available)
• BYO drinks welcome (with cooler storage & ice onboard)
• Optional nibbles platter available for purchase & pre-order
• Open-air timber ferry with vintage charm

Cruise upriver for a peaceful escape, take in the sights of Noosa Sound, or let our experienced skippers choose the best route based on the day’s weather conditions. Whether you’re after serenity, scenery, or a bit of both, your journey is designed to be effortless and enjoyable.

The Noosa Ferry has limited accessibility, and onboard toilets are not suitable for guests with accessibility needs. If you require a more accessible cruising experience, we recommend HV Stillwater, which offers a fully accessible layout designed for comfort and ease.
