Yot Club Pre-Launch Party

Overview

Brisbane has long been partial to a party boat. The Island did the honours from the 80s through until early this decade, and Seadeck has cruised the river over the last couple of years. Now Yot Club is sailing into the city's waters, and it's set to make quite a big splash — as you'd expect from a huge yacht with two bars, a stage, a dance floor and a 400-person capacity.

Throwing a few pre-launch shindigs on Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12, as well as across the following weekend of Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19, the glamorous, custom-built vessel is calling itself "the world's first super yacht entertainment venue". It's certainly something that southeast Queensland hasn't seen before, at the very least. Sprawling over two levels, it measures nearly 40-metres long and over 22-metres wide, and blends a licensed floating club and a luxe function space, including room for 200 people to enjoy a sit-down meal.

With lounges across an open deck and undercover, a VIP room in the hull, both general and ticketed events set to welcome guests, and the promise of bands and DJs on its lineup, Yot Club wants to be the region's one-stop watery hangout. It serves up more than water, of course, thanks to a menu of classic and creative cocktails, plus brews chilled in the 45-keg-capacity cool room.

Yot Club's first Brisbane shindigs set off from South Bank's Ferry Terminal One — and there's two ticketing options for zooming down the river. $49 gets you access to the main deck, while the $69 VIP option lets you party upstairs (and board early).
