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 some’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, while you simply enjoy the view.
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
Why Horizon
A newer, better-presented vessel
Private cruises only. Your group, your vibe.
Flexible packages for birthdays, hens, corporate, or family.
A local crew who care; premium service without the formality.
Onboard extras: eskies, BBQ, paddleboard, lily pad, sound system.
“Boating isn't just my job, it's how I host. Everything from family days to high-energy hens parties, and I know how to read a group. 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.
Thanks to every hens group who has shared their experience. We read every review and use your feedback to keep refining how we host your day on the water.
