Planning Your Gold Coast Team Building Day: Local Tips & Insights

A little local know-how goes a long way in planning the perfect Gold Coast team building adventure. Here are our insider tips to make your day brilliant.

Timing Your Adventure

The Gold Coast's year-round sunshine is perfect for team escapes.

  • Spring (Sep-Nov): Warm, comfortable days with calm, less crowded waterways.
  • Summer (Dec-Feb): Classic Queensland heat makes cooling off on the water ideal. Book well ahead as this is our peak season.
  • Autumn (Mar-May): Gorgeous temperatures and often the calmest waters of the year.
  • Winter (Jun-Aug): Mild, sunny days perfect for cruising.

Smart Booking Strategies

For the best experience, book your team building event midweek. You'll enjoy quieter waterways and better availability. Avoid peak times like school holidays and Schoolies week (late November) to dodge crowds.

Essential Items for Your Day

Pack smart to ensure a great day on the water.

  • SPF 50+ sunscreen, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses.
  • Quick-dry towels for after a swim or jet ski ride.
  • Plenty of water and extra snacks.
  • Your favourite beverages for our BYOB pontoon hires (no corkage fees).
  • A waterproof bag for phones and cameras.

Safety First, Fun Always

We take safety seriously. Every adventure starts with a comprehensive safety briefing. For pontoons, we'll show you the simple controls, and no boat license is required. Our jet ski experiences include all safety gear and thorough instruction to ensure you feel confident.

Group Size and Cleanup

Our pontoons accommodate up to 11 passengers , perfect for intimate team experiences. For larger groups, consider booking multiple vessels. We're proud of our pristine boats, so please leave our pontoons as clean as you found them . This simple step helps us maintain a premium experience for everyone.

Booking Your Perfect Date

Popular dates fill up quickly, so booking well in advance is essential to secure your preferred time. If you're planning other activities, the Gold Coast has incredible dining and entertainment options. You can explore venues at Find venues for pre or post activities.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Planning Your Team Building Adventure

A successful Gold Coast team building event is all in the planning. Here are a few common and easily avoidable mistakes we've seen over the years.

  • Packing Problems: It's easy to overpack for a day on the water, but storage is limited. On the other hand, forgetting essentials like sunscreen, hats, or plenty of water can spoil the fun. Find a balance.
  • Not Booking Early: The Gold Coast is popular, especially on weekends and during holidays. To avoid disappointment, book your preferred date well in advance.
  • Ignoring Safety Briefings: Our safety briefings are crucial for a safe and enjoyable day. Please give them your full attention and ask questions if anything is unclear.
  • Exceeding Group Size: Our pontoons have a strict maximum capacity of 11 people for safety. Please ensure your group numbers are accurate when booking.
  • Forgetting Cleanup: We ask that you leave our pontoons as clean as you found them. This includes using the bins and tidying the BBQ area. It only takes a few minutes and makes a huge difference.
  • Ignoring the Weather: Check the forecast before your event. While we operate in most conditions, knowing what to expect helps you pack appropriately.
  • Overlooking Dietary Needs: If you're planning a BBQ, remember to ask your team about any food allergies or dietary restrictions beforehand to ensure everyone can enjoy the meal.
