Riverfire Cruise - Brisbane - 05 September 2026

It's one of the best Fireworks displays of the year as Brisbane celebrates its annual River Festival with Riverfire 2025. The fireworks are always awesome and where better to enjoy them than from the bow and foredeck of the MV Baroness. This vessel boasts the largest open-air foredeck and bow on the River. Even better - we lay out low-set beach chairs and picnic rugs on our raised foredeck so guests can relax comfortably for the light show!

Info: We must deliver our safety information and demonstrate our lifejacket use before we can allow you to purchase a drink. It’s only a short speech and demo. We shall depart the wharf during the speech and head to the city for a view of the sights from the River.

Info: We must be inside the Commercial Zone and anchored before 5pm. There are hundreds of commercial and private vessels on the river for this event so we try to anchor early for a good vantage point.

Info: A picnic box dinner consisting of sandwiches, chicken kebabs, pasta salad and fruits will be served.

Info: Fireworks display commences at 7pm. The Riverfire radio broadcast will play on our speakers.

Info: We cannot pull anchor and leave until the Water Police have radioed to clear the Commercial Zone. This is generally cleared by 8pm and we will motor straight back to Mowbray Park Pontoon.

Info: A range of ice creams will be offered around to enjoy as we return to Mowbray Park pontoon.

Info: We sometimes have to queue and wait for other boats to be able to dock and disembark our guests. This is usually completed by 9pm.
