BBQ Buoys

Instructions given at the start were extremely sparse and did not completely prepare you for driving the buoy. Trying to navigate around the Popeye was extremely nerve wracking and after avoiding 3 of them in 30 minutes we were not relaxing and ready to call it quits. Once we finally made it closer to the Adelaide Uni footbridge we could relax and did enjoy the time together. The grill dials were taped over so it was a complete guessing game to turn the grill on and turn it to the desired temperature. There is no way to anchor, so you drift and start the motor to avoid shallow areas in the river. The map on the buoy is on the opposite side of the person steering, so there is no way to know where the indicated shallow parts are in the river unless someone else instructs you. Overall good to experience but we would not do it again. I would suggest this as a group activity (one mate sacrificing to stear) and not a romantic date.

Had a fabulous day on the bbq buoys celebrating birthdays. Staff were very friendly, helpful and would definitely recommend it.

The idea of these is great, We had no hotplate on the bbq when we left, that came about 45 mins later, then the bbq was so slow in cooking the food, the price is over the top, the bouys themselves are a fantastic idea, the people running the show need to ensure everything on board is working properly, we had no lights working, the drinks weren't cold until we actually stepped off the bouy.
Wouldnt recomend this at all.
More work needs to done by the people running the show

Amazing experience and highly recommended, great for families. Loved the BBQ on board too the kids enjoyed cooking
Easy to book and staff very friendly even took photos of us. Will be back again thank you

Thank you BBQ Buoys for making my partners 40th a memorable one! It was our first time & your staff were helpful, friendly & accommodating. We all had a fabulous time & I would highly recommend this for something different.
Was a great experience:)

Thanks BBQ Buoys for a fabulous lunch aboard! The staff were very kind and helpful. They provided little life vests for the kids. Our group, including five kids under 4 years, had a memorable time.

Wonderful experience and ALL the people i have talked to from BBQ Buoys have been extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with. Well done to ALL.

Such a beautiful place to be with family. The walk along the river is nice. Sunset view of the city is great here.

What a great afternoon on the river cruising while cooking and eating a BBQ. It's one of those things you see and wonder what it's like. It was great.

Bloody awesome fun! Loved the BBQ and the length of time was perfect! This is the second time on the BBQ Bouys and won't be the last!

Great for something completely different! Order your drinks and meat and then float along the Torrens while you have your bbq and catch up with friends. A fun way to spend a couple of hours.

Staff were so helpful and everything was effortlessly organized! So much fun will definitely book again

The best experience. Really relaxing going up and down the river. Platters were delish! Great drinks selections. Worth every cent! Would do it again.

We spent two hours on the river, we were very lucky as the weather was on our side sunny yay!
The experience was brilliant the staff was brilliant explaining everything to us.
They supplied everything. Even check on us during our time in there boat.
Would do again in a flash.

All I can say is this is the best thing I have ever done in Adelaide. The service, the staff, everything was on point and we enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you so much!

Staff were friendly and gave full briefing on how to control the bby buoy. You can chug up and down the most scenic parts of the river and see iconic sights.

Drinks must be pre-oredered and purchased beforehand. We had our own bbq on the boat but it took a while to fire up and cook the food (it’s a ‘bug’ but we struggled with getting decent gas supply).

You can also order platters if preferred. You get over two hours on the river - which is ample time.

You do need a dedicated driver who is prepared to captain the boat the whole time and must not exceed alcohol limit (driving licence required). There are fines for negligent behaviour.

All up an enjoyable experience and definitely worth doing if just to view the best scenic parts of the main river section in Adelaide.

We had an amazing time putting on down the Torrens on a BBQ Buoy! Cannot recommend them enough. We will certainly be back.

Great fun. Helpful, friendly staff. Gently chugging along the river with a BBQ and a glass of wine. Loved it.

After having to put our original booking on hold due to bad weather in February, we had no issues re organising another night. Had the perfect night out, 7pm - 9pm.we opted to take a roast chook and salads on our night out, we ordered a few drinks, on arrival everything was clean and ready to go departure was quick and easy, staff were friendly and helpful. What a relaxing beautiful way to see the city lights, do your self a favour grab some freinds and book a BBQ Bouy. 5 ***** from us

Very nice staff! Even drove out to take pictures for us (pretty sure he was checking up on us). Overall, a very relaxing experience:)
