Floating Bar cruise

Friday Floating Bar

Mandurah floating bar

Friday evenings, January to April

Mandurah’s favourite summer pop-up bar on the water! Kick start your weekend on board Mandurah’s Friday Floating Bar Cruise for only $15!

Sometimes all you need is a gorgeous sunset, great vibes and a cold drink in hand. Our Floating Bar delivers exactly that: a summer sunset cruise designed for fun, laidback evenings.

Come aboard, order your favourite beverage, and cruise through Mandurah’s sparkling waterways. With music and good vibes, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a Mandurah sunset and catch the colours of a balmy WA sunset. You might even be lucky enough to spot some of our world-famous Bottlenose dolphins.

Our cruise does four 45-minute loops, so you may choose to stay on board for one, or get comfortable and cruise until the bar closes at 9pm.

Drinks can be purchased from our fully-licensed bar on board the Dancing Dolphin vessel. Choose from cocktail specials, beers, wines, and more, plus enjoy sweet tunes and a super-relaxed atmosphere. BYO nibbles are most welcome.

Our Floating Bar Cruise departs every hour, on the hour, at 5pm, 6pm, 7pm & 8pm each Friday night from our main Mandurah Cruises Jetty in Mandjar Bay. It’s recommended to arrive 30 minutes prior to your desired departure time. Please ensure your entire group is together before lining up. Bookings are not taken for this cruise. Please be aware that boarding will occur in an orderly first come, first served fashion.

This event is for ages 18+ only. Valid ID is required for entry.
No BYO alcohol is permitted and as a licensed venue we serve alcohol responsibly: guests appearing intoxicated will be offboarded.

Visitor but I grew up years in Perth. Mandurah is still a great place and highly recommend people taking this cruise to enjoy the environment

We had lovely weather early September 2026

Great time was had by all. The squeals from the little kids each time a dolphin surfaced put a smile on even the hardest old grumpies face
