If you do choose to bring your own ski that is ok too, as they will allow you to tag along at a reduced fee but you will need to be present at the 30 minute safety briefing that is conducted prior to every ride .   Due to the danger associated with a lack of knowledge the briefing is mandatory as is the written test & practical assessment on the water before the ride commences.

Over night accommodation aboard Luxury Sports Cruiser may well be one of the most unique places you will ever spend a night. This  Gold Coast experience will  possibly be one of the most memorable things you do period. Imagine stepping out on the deck at sunrise, taking in the the sights and the fresh sea air. In my mind, there is nothing that compares.  Only when you experience the feeling of the moment will you truly understand why boating on the Gold Coast is so popular.  This is a charter boat with a real difference to its competition & we invite interested parties to inspect the vessel without obligation.

With blue waters,  lovely weather, & many hundreds of kilometers of protected smooth waterways,  where else would you want to be? The Gold Coast offers a great variety of  hotels, motels, apartments and resorts, and now you can choose to stay on board a luxury hire boat.

Hire is conditional on the hirer having a valid recreational boat license & being prepared to take legal charge of the vessel in absence of the skipper over night. Please contact the skipper, Trevor Bell on 0417780260 or info@goldcoastluxurycruises.com to discuss your options.

The Gold Coast has the second largest population in Queensland. It is the most populous non-capital city in the whole country, & it has a sunny, subtropical climate.  Couple that with great destinations including world class theme parks, & arguably the best beaches in Australia, the Gold Coast is an ideal place to have a holiday. The following are some of the places you can visit  in and around the city.

Surfers Paradise, in our opinion, has the best beach in Australia, possibly the world. Surfers is the tourist hub for the Gold Coast region. High rise accommodation buildings are everywhere. They seem to be stacked almost on top of each other, & central Surfers is a 24 hour area with hundreds of restaurants & cafes spilling into the streets.  Dozens of Night clubs & bars bring huge numbers of people into Surfers paradise every night & create a wonderful party atmosphere. The Surfers Paradise & general Gold Coast Area is a water wonderland. The tourist area is built on the coastal strip with the Nerang River just behind it. We have hundreds of kilometres of canals, mainly man made with thousands of homes built right on the waters edge. Most of these homes have private jetties to accommodate personal boats. Rent a boat to explore this wonderful area.
