A privately chartered party boat cruising the Gold Coast Broadwater from Main Beach, with wedding packages for up to 60 guests and room for a ceremony on board.
About Rani Cruises
The Rani is a one-of-a-kind Gold Coast party boat that has been turning heads since 1987, and Rani Cruises has been locally owned for over 18 years. Best known for bucks, hens, birthdays and work parties, it also runs private wedding cruises through the Broadwater from Marina Mirage at Main Beach. Couples can hold their ceremony on board with their own celebrant, or marry elsewhere and meet the boat for the party afterwards.
The boat has spacious indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, a fully stocked licensed bar, a professional kitchen and two toilets. Every wedding package includes the private boat with its skipper, bar staff and deckhands, access to the TV and microphone and the chance to play your own music. A DJ setup is available on board, and add-ons include DJs or live music, a BYO caterer, your own celebrant and decorations, extra cruise time and a stop at Tipplers Island.
Three wedding packages step up from a three hour private cruise for up to 60 guests, to a four hour cruise with grazing and sushi platters, a bar tab and decorations, to a four hour cruise with a professional chef and waiter serving gourmet finger food. Packages can be altered to suit, and the team gives advice and custom quotes on logistics. Compare it with the other Queensland wedding venues.

Enquiries temporarily paused
We're still finalising our partnership with Rani Cruises, so we can't forward leads to them just yet. Sending now would mean your enquiry doesn't actually reach the venue.
While you wait, you can browse other Queensland wedding venues that are ready to receive enquiries. You can also reach Rani Cruises directly via their website here.
