Slim Pickins Brewery, Engadine
So you’re tying the knot, and you’re ready to send off your pre-married life with a bang. It’s an exciting time worthy of a celebration to match.
Thankfully, you don’t have to go far to make a great day of it - in fact, you don’t have to leave the Shire at all. To make sure your bucks is something you’ll remember fondly forever (rather than something you’d rather forget), check out our 7 top buck’s party ideas in the Sutherland Shire, from brews to boat charter and bougie stays.
7 bucks party ideas in the Sutherland Shire
Brewery Hop
This one’s a classic. Having a beer with the boys is one of the best ways to send off your single days before you tie the knot, and the Shire has some of the best craft breweries around. Move over Inner West, and instead plan a route that takes you to Slim Pickins Brewery in Engadine, Sunday Road Brewing and Shark Island Brewing in Kirrawee, and finally, Hairyman in Caringbah. Just be sure to organise Ubers, or a committed designated driver!
Spend A Day On The Water
There’s no finer way to spend the day than out on the waters of one of the Shire’s many beaches or rivers. For something simple, head down to Como Marina, where you can hire a boat for as little as $140, or a pontoon for a larger group. If you’re more of the bells-and-whistles type of buck, you won’t be disappointed with a hire from Mintaka Charters. This catamaran can fit up to 20 passengers, and has over-water trampolines, a Bluetooth sound system, eskies and a BBQ, and a skipper and crew included. You can even add on-board catering to completely take the hard work and planning out of your busy schedule. Finally, for something fit-for-purpose, check out Cronulla Party Boats’ Buck’s Party River Cruise, which runs year-round and can fit all the way up to 45 people.

Golf Day
If a day on the green is more your vibe, there are plenty of gorgeous - and large - courses in the Shire to choose from. Top picks for the area include Woolooware, Kareela and Barden Ridge. It’s the perfect way to take your time out in the sunshine with your best mates in tow.

Hurricanes Private Dining
This one’s for the fancy foodies - and especially the carnivores. A buck's do hosted in Hurricane’s oh-so-stylish private dining room will treat you and your mates to a mouthwatering menu that spotlights locally-sourced seafood, premium steaks and a beachside location. The private area seats 22 guests, and the team are on-hand to help you create your ideal lunch or dinner, whether it be low-key or a bit OTT.
Morning Fishing Trip
If you like the idea of a day on the water but want to go even deeper, opt instead for a fishing charter. There are several to choose from in the Shire, three of which leave from Cronulla Wharf: Sydney Premium Charters, Cronulla Reef Fishing Charters, and All At Sea Fishing Charters. Each offers a variety of options, catering to those who prefer deep sea fishing or a shorter half-day trip. When you dock back at Cronulla Wharf, it’s an easy walk up to some of the suburb’s best bars and restaurants.
Make A Weekend Of It
If you’d prefer your buck’s to extend beyond just a few hours, consider booking one of the Shire’s many boutique, luxury stays. Who needs Vegas when you can live large with panoramic ocean views, a next-level BBQ set up, a pool table and a media room right here? To get you started, we’ve rounded up 9 of the Shire’s most luxurious stays for you to choose from.
X-Golf
It’s the place where golf and gaming converge, and it makes for the ideal buck’s party idea. Located in Caringbah, X-Golf is an all-season, weather-proof plan. Never heard of it? Picture a golf simulation created by state of the art tech, alongside VR experiences, food, live sports, a licensed bar, and a good dose of healthy competition.
