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.

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

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.

What a great way to spend a sunset evening! The buoys have an engine so you can cruise up and down the river and even if you’ve lived here your entire life it is a chance to see the city from a different angle. If you’re a tourist, then it would be even better! Great fun and can be as relaxing or as loud/laughter as you like. Options werent just bbq but you can also just have a table and sit and enjoy a picnic and drinks. Staff are very friendly and helpful, overall highly recommend!

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.
