We coordinate the drinks, bartenders and required liquor-licence arrangements for an agreed floating-bar setup. Each event is quoted around the location, service plan and applicable approvals.
AI CONCEPTThis is a portable bar setup configured on our main pontoon (SRGW4546R) for a private event — not a second boat, and not a permanent fitted bar. We don't assume fridges, draught taps, a power system, a cocktail station, glassware or a fixed bar counter. Anything of that kind is discussed and costed in your quote only where suitable and approved.
Capacity is confirmed for the specific layout, crew, bartenders, stock and vessel approval. It does not inherit the leisure boat's 12-guest number, and this is not a 150-guest raft party.
These are options to talk through — not fixed, fully approved packages. The right model depends on your venue, guest mix and the approvals that apply.
You set a budget and menu; we run the bar to that tab for your guests. A clear, capped way to host without a till at the table.
Stated per quote
Guests purchase drinks directly, only where the event licence and service plan permit. We handle the bar operation; your guests pay as they go.
Stated per quote
You supply the drinks where suitable and approved; we provide the bar setup and staff to serve them. A lean option when you already have the stock.
Stated per quote
No free bar, all-you-can-drink package or waived fees. We don't quote per-passenger charter prices, and we don't match any third-party “BarZone” or “NomBango” price. Every figure is whole-event and set in your written quote.
A moving charter that needs a skipper must reserve one appropriately — alcohol service is not clearance to navigate. These checks stay on our side until the quote is confirmed.
Whether the bar operates moored at an approved berth or on a moving charter — each requires its own reservation.
The exact approved venue or berth is confirmed for the setup, not assumed from a leisure cruise.
Service hours are agreed for the event and the location.
Any power needs for the bar setup are confirmed for the venue and vessel.
Sanitation and waste handling for the event are planned before confirmation.
Estate and jetty access for your guests and the bar crew are arranged before the event.
Shorter notice may be possible at an additional charge, subject to availability and the required approvals. Eight days is a business planning minimum for crew, stock and logistics — not a legal processing guarantee.
A premium cannot bypass permissions. Licence, venue and vessel checks remain private to our staff before any booking is confirmed.
Choose the ordinary quote for an eight-day lead time, or a short-notice enquiry that starts a manual review.
Step 1
Tell us the date, guest number, venue preference and which bar model you'd like to discuss.
Step 2
We confirm the liquor-licence arrangements, the approved venue or berth, and the vessel approval — privately, on our side.
Step 3
You receive a written quote setting the fees, service plan, capacity and booking terms. Nothing is confirmed until you accept.
Our floating bar uses the main pontoon with a simple portable bar setup. The moored base service starts at R9,500 Monday–Friday or R10,500 Saturday–Sunday for up to four hours of bar service, with one bartender, basic ice and serviceware, setup and licence coordination.
Drinks or a hosted tab, actual statutory liquor fees, applicable venue or mooring charges, catering, extra staff or upgrades and required extra travel are quoted separately. We provide an itemised event total before you commit.
Capacity, layout, boarding arrangements and setup and pack-down times are agreed for your event. Cruising events and longer service are quoted individually. Please allow at least eight days' notice. Shorter notice is considered case by case; an accepted short-notice event may carry a coordination premium from R1,500. An enquiry does not guarantee approval or a liquor licence.
Your written booking confirmation includes your meeting pin, boarding time and any estate access instructions. Please use those details rather than travelling to a general dam or estate entrance.
Aim to arrive 15 minutes before your agreed departure for boarding and a safety briefing. If you are running late or have not received your access details, call or WhatsApp 079 144 5174 before travelling.
Follow the boarding team's instructions and keep the boarding area clear. Tell us about mobility or access needs before confirming so we can discuss the arrangements for your group. Boarding arrangements depend on the boat and mooring; step-free access is not guaranteed.
