Great day out when we decided to get out and about on the Gold Coast Broadwater for a day.
Booking was easy, and upon arrival Nick had everything ready to go. He gave us all the required safety briefing and provided everything needed.
The boat was well equipped and easy to use.
Would definitely use them again for our next hire.

This was a wonderful self drive cruise in a quiet, roomy, comfortable, electric boat. Sailing quietly along the canals was so peaceful and very interesting. The boat canopy is open sided but provides complete shade. Nitsa was really helpful and friendly in telling us how to manage the boat ( it's very easy) and where to travel on the canal. We'll definitely come back and do this cruise again.

Great way to have a good look around the beautiful houses on the water ways and also some easy chill out time for 6 of us. Through but clear instructions provided before sailing. Time onboard enjoyed by all.

What a fabulous way to celebrate an 86th birthday with family. We opted for the self drive option which worked a charm. Nitsa is super to deal with and went out of her way to make our day special. We took all our favourite supplies and 3 hours whizzed on by.. next time I would take the 4 hours to allow a bit more time at the Isle of Capri. This was hands down the best experience in our week away. 5 stars!!
