Boat Club Functions Centre

Sea breezes, marina lights and K'gari (formerly Fraser Island) on the horizon set a stunning stage for your celebration or conference. **Marina-front venue with panoramic views, premium in‑house catering, private charter cruises, cinemas and flexible spaces for 4 to 400+—all in one place.** Situated within the Urangan Marina precinct, the Boat Club Functions Centre offers sweeping views across the Great Sandy Strait to World Heritage-listed K'gari. Choose the elegant Fraser Room with private deck, charter the MV Amaroo for an on‑water event, or add a private cinema session—then let the award‑winning team and chefs bring it together. Hervey Bay is one of the world's most celebrated humpback whale watching destinations, with the gentle giants resting in Platypus Bay from July to November—perfect timing to wow your guests. [1][2][4][5][8] Where is the Boat Club Functions Centre? You'll find the centre at the Hervey Bay Boat Club in Urangan Marina, overlooking the marina and Great Sandy Strait to K'gari. Beyond the function spaces, the club provides live entertainment, dining, a bar and a twin‑screen cinema—making it a self‑contained destination for your event. [1][2] What spaces can I book for my event? Host grand receptions in the Fraser Room (private balcony; up to 180 cabaret or 300 cocktail), choose meeting rooms suited to 20–25 guests, or style a relaxed gathering on the partly sheltered Lower Deck overlooking the marina. Private cinema hire adds a unique touch. [5][7][11][13] Can we take our event onto the water? Yes. The MV Amaroo is a purpose‑built 20 m catamaran carrying up to 90 passengers across three open viewing decks, with 360° vistas of the Great Sandy Strait, a comfortable enclosed cabin, a licensed bar and on‑board catering. It's ideal for sunset cruises, celebrations and team events. [7][8] When's the best time to pair an event with whale watching? From July to November, thousands of migrating humpback whales rest and play in Platypus Bay, a short cruise from Hervey Bay. If your dates are flexible, adding a whale encounter can elevate any itinerary and delight your guests. [1] Do you provide catering and event support? Absolutely. Expect award‑winning service from a dedicated functions team and premium in‑house catering for 4 to 400+. The team includes some of the region's best chefs, with an experienced functions manager overseeing every detail. [2][4][9] Can we include a K'gari experience in our program? Daily tours and cruises to K'gari depart from Hervey Bay, and the club's own vessel can be chartered privately. Ask about package options to add a day trip or cruise to your program for a seamless, memorable itinerary. [1] Good to know • Hervey Bay is approximately 3 hours' drive north of Brisbane. [1] • The Fraser Deck is an ideal weather‑safe ceremony backup. [5] • The Amaroo's enclosed cabin ensures events can continue in inclement weather. [8] Ready to plan?
