Beautiful day enjoying lunch on the water

Karene 22 January 2026

We had a wonderful time on the 2-hour lunch cruise on the Gold Coast. The views were beautiful, cruising along the waterways was relaxing, and the atmosphere on board was very enjoyable. Lunch was well presented and tasty, with friendly and attentive staff (except the unfriendly female staff member behind the bar - hospitality is not for you). It was a great way to spend a couple of hours and see the Gold Coast from the water. Highly recommended for a relaxing outing

Great Food

Gloria 14 July 2025

Have been travelling to the Gold Coast my whole life but have never seen what this cruise was able to show us. Relaxing, quality staff and quality food made for a great day. Especially liked the fact we were able to return to the buffet a 2nd & 3rd time. That second plate of fresh prawns was a real treat.
