Popeye is a fleet of three iconic, heritage floating venues that pass some of the most spectacular views of the riverbank precinct, beautiful at both day and night. The three available boats are each fitted with internal LED lighting, great sound system and cafe blinds for use in any possible inclement weather. We can seat up to 49 in cabaret style or in theatre seating in each boat, with seating being dependent on space needed for performance set up. We have everything you may need to dress the venue, taking it from basic seating or through to a formal setting with tablecloths, lanterns, ice buckets available.
The venue is liquor licensed.
