The Honda Celebration of Light is a world-famous fireworks competition that takes place in English Bay on three different nights leading up to the BC Day Long Weekend each year. There are a number of Top Places to See the Fireworks . One of the best is from a boat out on the water!

In 2024 during the festival there were boat parties that included dinner and views of the fireworks. They took place on the Burrard Queen . The fireworks and cruises run on the Saturday, Wednesday and Saturday of July 20th, 24th and 27th.

To learn more about these events and others, see the Vancouver Boat Parties website.

Vancouver Pride Boat Party

Vancouver Boat Parties hosted a pride celebration on the same day as the Vancouver Pride Parade in 2024. Taking place on Sunday, August 4th, the party was on the Burrard Queen . It departed from 760 Pacific Boulevard at 8:30 pm and didn’t return until 11:30 pm.

The pride-themed party this year included music with DJ Surbee, plus lots of dancing and amazing views of the city out on the water. Tickets started at about $50 per person.

For more information about the cruise, see the Vancouver Boat Parties website.

BC Day Boat Party

Last year Vancouver Boat Parties hosted an event on the BC Day Long Weekend . The Whiteout Boat Party took place on the Burrard Queen on Saturday, August 5th. The event ran from 8:00 pm until midnight.

The 19+ event featured two dance floors, Latin music on one level, Hip Hop and R&B on the other level, a premium bar, dancing and a white dress code. Tickets started at about $40 each.

This event didn’t happen in 2024.

Tips and Advice

Below are some suggestions to help you make the most out of your boat party experience.

What to Wear Suggestions

TIP #1 : If it’s a costume-themed event, wear a costume. Whether it be for Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day or Canada Day (when the dress code is sometimes “white”), dress up! You’ll have more fun!

TIP #2 : Wear comfortable footwear (for the dancing) and warm clothing (as it can get cold up on the outer deck). Also, don’t forget to take everything with you (both getting on and off the boat). Again, once the boat departs, it’s gone! There is no going back to the car to get something until it’s all over!

Things to Consider Before You Go

TIP #3 : Give yourself lots of time to get to the docks well before departure. If you get stuck in traffic or get delayed finding parking, you’ll be out of luck. Once the boat leaves the dock it’s gone!

TIP #4 : Buy your tickets as early as possible. You’ll save money by paying the early-bird prices, plus you’ll avoid disappointment if the cruise sells out (which they often do). Don’t forget though that tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.

TIP #5 : Plan in advance how to get home after the party. Take a cab or public transit, or convince a friend to be the designated driver.

Other Things to Keep in Mind

TIP #6 : Unless you have paid extra for a table in advance, or plan to stand up and dance the whole time, go early to get a table or a chair. It will mean standing in line for a bit extra before boarding time, but the earlier you go the better your chances of claiming a spot to sit at with your friends.

TIP #7 : Invite your friends and go as a group. Boat cruises can be wonderfully romantic for couples wanting time alone on dates. They can also be especially fun though with a pile of friends.

TIP #8 : Night club-style events with Vancouver Boat Parties are for adults only (ages 19+). Valid picture ID is required, so don’t forget to take some.

TIP #9 : Check-in and boarding usually take place an hour or so before departure. The music and dancing start near the beginning, so go early to maximize your fun.

TIP #10 : Vancouver Boat Parties does private parties too. If you are celebrating a birthday, bachelorette or corporate event, or attending one of their regular events with a big group, give them a call at 778-829-5245. Extra perks and discounts are sometimes available.
