The Charter

This isn't just a boat ride.

Every Gold Coast charter looks the same from the listing. Then you get there and realise it's tourist groups, no activities, and BYO isn't really BYO. We pull up on private sandbanks. We cook fresh BBQ for you. We have fish-feeding frenzies off the back stairs. Your group gets the entire boat — no strangers, no shared experience, just you.

Chapter 02 · Why Us

Six reasons it's different.

01 · BBQ

Fresh, cooked aboard

We handle the cooking — you handle the celebrating. Fresh BBQ fired up on the water. Bring your own sides; we manage the heat.

02 · Fish

The feeding frenzy

Off the back stairs at the sandbank. Crew throws food in; hundreds of fish surface in seconds. The viral moment your group won't stop talking about.

03 · Toys

Paddleboards & kayaks

No extra hire, no extra cost. The Broadwater becomes your playground. Challenge anyone to stay on the longest. Nobody does.

04 · Sandbank

Beached on the sand

Our hull is built to beach directly on the sand at Wave Break Island. Step off, swim, sunbake — steps from the deck.

05 · Skyline

Millionaire's Row

A slow cruise past Australia's most expensive waterfront — narrated by the skipper. Your group is usually in shock at the scale.

06 · Departure

Four jetties

HOTA, Broadwater Parklands, Surfers Paradise, or Main Beach (Sundale Bridge Boat Ramp). Pick what's closest to your group; we'll come to you.

Chapter 04 · The Destination

The most spacious private cruise to Wave Break Island.

Gold Coast's quietest sandbank. Turquoise water waist-deep. Yours, for the day.

Wave Break Island sits at the heart of the Gold Coast Broadwater — a protected sandbar reachable only by boat. Most charters cruise past it. We pull up onto the sand, drop the back stairs, and let your group own it for the day.

Our hull is purpose-built to beach directly on Wave Break Island. Step off the boat onto sand, swim in turquoise water, paddle the shallows on included paddleboards, fire up the BBQ on the back deck, and feed hundreds of fish from the rail. No other tour operator anchors here privately. Two full decks give your group real room to spread out — not packed shoulder-to-shoulder like a single-level boat at the same headcount.
