Ultimate Ladies Night Out | Bad Boys Afloat

Bad Boys Afloat are taking over the MV Calmer on Saturday 22 August, with the boat sailing from the Queens Wharf Ferry Terminal in Newcastle. It's a male revue that puts the show on the harbour, pairing a sexy live performance with a high-energy dance floor, cheeky games and waiters serving throughout the cruise. Drag guest performer Leah Tart joins the line-up, and the whole thing is pitched as an all-inclusive party, so it's a natural fit for larger groups like birthdays and hen's nights.

The ticket covers the lot: a buffet dinner and a drinks package of beer, wine and soft drinks during the meal, followed by house spirits. Boarding is half an hour before sailing, and the cruise runs for three hours. There's a strict no-BYO policy, so whatever you're drinking comes from the boat. It's an adults-only event, and there's a heels policy that bans tall or pointy heels in favour of small chunky ones. If you need disabled access, you'll need to contact the operator to sort it out.

Tickets are A$100, and the boat sails from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm, with boarding from 7:30 pm at the Queens Wharf Ferry Terminal on Wharf Road. If you can't make the 22nd, they've got more dates coming up on 26 September, 24 October and 21 November.
