A newer catamaran. A warm crew.
A better way to celebrate on the water.
Most people only charter a boat once or twice in their lives. We know that means it has to count. Horizon Cat Cruises began with one simple belief: a private cruise should feel like your day, not just another booking in someone’s calendar.
That’s why we invested in Horizon Cat: a modern Seawind 1160 Deluxe. She’s newer and better presented than most boats on the Gold Coast, because no one should celebrate on a tired old party boat.
And she comes with a crew who care. Led by Captain Kenny, we host with personality. You’ll get a warm welcome, genuine local knowledge, and a team that takes the stress out of planning.
Whether it’s a milestone birthday, hens, corporate function, or family get-together, our job is to make it effortless. Your job is to enjoy the view.a
What We Believe
Cruises for Every Occasion.
Your moment, your way.
Care - Every group is different. We listen, we adapt, we make it feel personal.
Ease - From BYO drinks to simple booking, we take the friction out of planning.
Connection - Horizon Cat is built for togetherness: shaded lounges, open decks, trampolines, and room to spread out.
Steady - She’s stable, safe, spotless — so you feel confident inviting anyone aboard

“Boating isn't just my job, it's how I host. I skipper everything from family days to high-energy hens parties, and I know how to read a group. Some skippers hide behind the wheel. I try to keep it personal - whether that's pointing out a dolphin, suggesting the perfect swim stop, or quietly topping up the ice”.
Cheers
Horizon Cat Cruises
Your celebration matters to us.
