THE ISLAND PARTY BOAT
Celebrating a special event?? Maybe a special birthday, engagement party, hen’s or buck’s night, charity event, work social, family get together or just a straight up good ol’ party?? Maybe it’s the time of year for your staff party?? Whatever the occasion, here at the island party boat we’re ready to help you celebrate & make the occasion memorable for all…..
In the '60s, before the demise of Brisbane ship building firm Evans Deacon, the company launched some impressive ships and a lesser vessel commissioned by City Council that seemed unlikely to make a big impression. The vehicular ferry, a floating car park, was called 'Sir James Holt' ferry, after the designer of our Story Bridge. It plied the waters of Murrarie until over 20 years ago, when the Gateway Bridge made the old girl redundant. Some enterprising types decided she had the makings of a party boat. Renamed 'The Island party boat', it's since become part of the hospitality scene cruising the Brisbane River.
