Making the Most of Your Gold Coast Midweek Adventure
A half day hire weekday adventure is your ticket to a perfect day on the water. To make sure it's smooth sailing from start to finish, here are a few local tips.
Avoid Common Mistakes The biggest mistake we see is underestimating the Gold Coast sun. Even on cloudy days, the UV is strong.
- Be Sun Smart : Apply high-SPF sunscreen regularly. A hat and sunglasses are your best friends. Use the shaded areas on our pontoons to take a break from the direct sun.
- Stay Hydrated : The sun and sea breeze can be dehydrating. Bring plenty of water to drink throughout your trip.
- BYOB Responsibly : You are welcome to bring your own alcoholic drinks with no corkage fees. We just ask that you drink responsibly and leave our pontoons as clean as you found them.
Plan for Maximum Fun While spontaneity is great, having a loose plan helps you use your four hours well. Want to find the best spot for a swim or see where the dolphins hang out? Just ask our friendly team when you arrive; we love sharing local secrets.
Consider Seasonal Timing
- Summer (December-February) : The water is beautifully warm, perfect for swimming. Midweek is still much quieter than weekends, but it's wise to book ahead.
- Cooler Months (June-August) : Expect crisp, clear days ideal for cruising and a BBQ. The water is cooler, but the peaceful atmosphere is magical.
- School Holidays : These periods are a fantastic time for a family trip. It's busier than a standard weekday but still offers a calmer alternative to the weekend rush.
The real secret to a great midweek adventure is to accept a slower pace. It's about savouring the moments: the sizzle of the BBQ, the laughter with friends, and the shared awe when dolphins appear.
