The Marlborough River Queen

The Marlborough River Queen is available to hire for private functions and cruises - we're Marlborough's only floating function centre! Whether you're a couple looking for a unique wedding venue, a local business, or someone with an event to celebrate, we can tailor a cruise so that it's perfect for your group.

Cruises are generally 3 hours long, but your group can be on board at our Horton St moorings before and after the cruise: we're flexible to suit your unique needs. The River Queen can cater for up to 99 people at one time.

Hiring the River Queen for your function and 3 hour cruise costs $1200 incl GST for up to 40 people. There is an additional $25.00 charge for each additional person over 40 people.

We can also do longer or shorter cruises if you are interested.
