Planning Your Gold Coast Trip: A Step-by-Step Guide

We've simplified the planning process so you can focus on the fun.

Step 1: Choose Your Occasion and Vessel First, consider your group and what you want to do. Are you planning a family day out, a get-together with friends, or a corporate event?

Step 2: Pick a Date and Book Ahead Our packages are popular, especially during peak season. Book in advance to secure your preferred date and time.

Seasonal Tip: Visit in August August is a fantastic time for a Gold Coast water trip. As the 'end of winter', it offers a sweet spot of clear, sunny days without the intense summer heat. You'll enjoy fewer crowds on the waterways, and it's a perfect time for a pontoon party. For visitors from Brisbane, the Ekka Day public holiday provides a great long weekend opportunity.

Step 3: Pack Your Essentials Once you're booked, simply pack your food, drinks, and personal items. Remember sun protection (sunscreen, hats, sunglasses), swimwear, and towels.

Safety First Your safety is our priority. We provide a thorough pre-departure briefing covering boat operations and safety procedures. All hires include correctly sized life jackets and adhere strictly to Maritime Safety Queensland guidelines.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not booking in advance: Availability is limited, especially for popular packages.
