Event description

The good ship Natty Waves sails again. 


Embark on a cold watery paradise - a floating natural wine bar with a surreal soundtrack. 

Sit back and relax in the crisp air up-top, or descend into the fog with DJs and performances below deck. 

Sip on all Tasmanian natural wines and snack in the culinary cabin with local chef Jamie Yates

Program of special guests announced soon. 

So gather your shipmates or make some new ones and prepare for a magical time - it’s a not to be missed Winter highlight and tickets go fast. 

Plus! This year we have two special performances outside our normal floating disco repertoire..

KARA-BOATY ~ Sunday 11 June 8 - 11pm

No such thing as a guilty pleasure when we’re cruising together.
From tender crooners to shanty screamers, everyone is invited to become their own karaoke superstar as we roll down the river.
Request line wide open. It’s time to rock the boat.
Co-Presented by Mummy's Plastic

Forever Bistro ~ Wednesday 14 June 4 - 7pm


Step aboard the newest floating reality TV show, Forever Bistro. 
A pleasure voyage awash with hospitable hosts, live performers, DJs, guest characters, camera crew and you! 
It’s a semi-luxury liner meets Diary Room confessional. What happens at sea doesn’t always stay at sea…

This activity has been supported by The Department of Local Government, Sports, and Cultural Industries, Create NSW, and Regional Arts Network Tasmania.
