What counts as a custom cruise on the Gold Coast?

Any charter that doesn't fit neatly into a standard hens, birthday, or corporate booking. Proposals, reunions, vow renewals, farewell parties, themed events, or simply a private cruise with friends - if you have something in mind, get in touch and we'll shape it around you.

How do I request a custom private boat cruise on the Gold Coast?

Fill out the enquiry form on our contact page or call Captain Kenny directly on 0408 125 312. Tell us your date, group size, and what you have in mind. We'll come back with options usually within 24 hours.

How much does a custom charter cost on the Gold Coast?

Custom charters start from $1,650 for 3 hours for up to 30 guests. Pricing depends on duration and any add-ons. Contact us for a tailored quote.

Can you help with catering, styling, or entertainment for a custom event?

Yes. We work with local catering partners for grazing platters and full-service options. Event styling, photography packages, and entertainment add-ons can all be arranged. Let us know what you need when you enquire.

Can we choose our own route for a custom cruise on the Gold Coast Broadwater?

Yes. Within safety and timing limits we can plan a route that suits your group, including swim stops at Wave Break Island or South Stradbroke Island, skyline cruising, and sightseeing along the Broadwater.

How far in advance should I book a custom cruise?

As early as possible for popular dates, especially weekends and school holidays. That said, we do accommodate last-minute bookings when availability allows - call us directly for the fastest response.
