The Red Boats

Whenever I think about the red boats I can’t help but break out into song, songs such as «I am on a boat» come into mind. My experience with red boats was a good night out with workmates for those awkward yet interesting work christmas parties.
Getting on the boat was a tad bit of a mission, but I kindly advise that if you are going to wear heels on a boat be prepared for a rather interesting experience. Oh yes and short dresses a big no no, I had to rely on the help of a wonderful companion to help me get on the top level of the boat without giving people on the lower level a free show. I wasn’t there for that sort of entertainment.
Anyway, the cruise was beautiful and although the drink portions were disappointing, I’m talking half a plastic cup of gin & tonic, I managed to overlook. The food is not the best as it looks like something you would have on a road trip with friends, you know a turkey from Pak n Save and a few rolls.
I understand that and don’t hold anything against the red boats for the food or drink as it was more of an experience. The red boat allows one to see the beautiful Auckland Harbour and the juke box on the boat resulted in «Maka drop that shit» commentary when I plugged my iPod into the dock.
I would definitely hire the red boat for functions such as hens nights, bachelor parties and work functions. Just mind your step on your way out as a couple of drinks onboard can mean a whole different story once one has disembarked.
