Top Shelf’s Cowboy Cruise, STRIPPED: Power. Passion. Play is the most fun I’ve had on a boat yet. From the moment you arrive, the cowboys are front on centre with their chiseled abs and megawatt smiles. Once you’ve found your libation of choice - mine was celebratory bubbles, naturally - aboard the unique Decoy Paddle Steamer, you get to enjoy the beautiful Swan River views before the show kicks off. 

To get the full experience, I recommend selecting a seat as close to the action as possible, aka along the centre aisle or near the front. This gives you a prime vantage point to witness, or if you’re lucky like me, be invited to participate in the spicy performance. 

STRIPPED, as the name implies, is 120 minutes of pure adult entertainment. Whether your fantasy steers more toward the classic firefighter (fire hose included), the exotic like Ricky Martin, or the dark, a la 50 Shades of Grey, complete with a suitcase of toys, these talented men are pros in the art of seduction. 

Each performer has a knack for moving their body just right to both the music and the eager cheers from the crowd. As a palate cleanser, when the performers get everyone a little too hot and bothered, there’s even a fun musical interlude that keeps the party going.
