A fun way to enjoy Adelaide! - We were a family of 8 adults and 2 kids celebrating our Pisces birthday month. It was such fun and the boat seating allowed great interaction between all. We had a deluxe/premium drink package that was fairly priced and brought our own platters. The instruction to steer etc was professional and life jackets supplied for the kiddies. We had such fun and it was so good to see our beautiful city via the Torrens.

Best way to spend a morning in Adelaide - Jazz kept in touch with me. Ethan assisted on the day. Great morning with friends - cheese / meat platter and good wines with music as we moved up and down the river. Enjoyed by all.

Very enjoyable activity and beautiful scenery - We had a birthday party for our 13 year old with her friends. It was a fun party - teenagers enjoying bbq food and listening to the music while chatting away …. . I was driving the boat, no experience needed. It was a very relaxing ride . But I am glad I brought my elder daughter along so she can look after the BBQ while I focus on driving the boat . The scenery along the river is great, and with ducks / birds in the river, it was actually a very enjoyable ride. The staffs there on the day were extremely helpful. I think I will definitely do that again.

Brilliant booking for 38 people - We had a great afternoon with BBQ Buoys catering for our group of 38. Everyone had a great afternoon, the buoys were very clean and well catered for and when we needed to swap out some of the drinks from our drink package mid way through our booking, that was no problem. So much fun, laughter and food. Definately be back with our families

Great experience - We did the 2 hour BBQ cruise with 3 other couples, total of 8 of us. Very comfortable sitting in the boat and easy with the bbq in the middle. Our drinks were pre ordered and all organized for when we arrived. Staff were friendly and quickly ran through all the details for steering, safety etc. We all really enjoyed the cruise. A great way to do something different and get out about and enjoy beautiful Adelaide. Would highly recommend to friends to do.

Really very angry!!!!! - We had this booked for months and the bbq buoys cancelled it because of weather conditions which was fine. Now I’ve sent 4 emails and 2 unanswered phone calls asking for my refund and I’ve had no response. I can’t contact anyone and no one is contacting me back. I’m about to go to an ombudsman because I’ve had enough. It shouldn’t be this hard.
