Why cruise with us?
Fun, flexible, and unbeatable value. Our shop offers fishing rod hire, bait, extra bags of ice if needed, cold soft drinks, bottled water, sunscreen, mozzie spray etc. The highlight of your day wouldn’t be complete without our infamous skipper and crew apparel. Nothing looks better than the skipper decked out in a Captains hat and shirt. For the more daring…. A pirate’s hat to keep the crew in check! Photo memories to cherish forever!
Free all-day parking – Park less than 20 metres from our boats, making arrival and departure quick and easy.
Top-notch vessels – Clean, spacious, and superbly maintained so you can relax with total peace of mind.
Perfectly placed for adventure – Based at the northern end of the Gold Coast, our cruising ground is a blend of tranquil hideaways and buzzing hotspots. Head south to Wave Break Island, a favourite spot for swimming, relaxing and enjoying the beach, or cruise north to Tipplers Resort, where you’ll find a café for meals and drinks, a swimming enclosure, playground and plenty of wildlife.
Whether you’re craving quiet beaches, island vibes, or just the freedom to fire up the BBQ with a cold drink in hand, we’ve got you sorted. Just bring your crew, your playlist, and your good vibes—we’ll take care of the rest.
We can’t wait to welcome you aboard for a day of sun, smiles, and sizzling BBQs.
