Frequently Asked Questions

We’re all about good times, clear info, and smooth sailing. Here’s everything you might want to know before your cruise — if we missed something, just ask!

Can We Bring Our Own Food & Drinks?

Yes! We’re proudly a BYO boat — so bring along your favourite drinks, snacks, or even a picnic feast.

Want something easier? We also offer optional catering (like grazing platters or a private chef) through trusted local partners.

Is There Music on the Boat?

Absolutely! Our yacht is fitted with a Bluetooth sound system and speakers throughout.

Connect your phone or playlist and vibe out to your favourite tunes from start to finish.

Can We Swim on the Cruise?

Totally — swimming is one of the best parts!

When we anchor at calm spots like Wavebreak Island or The Bedrooms, you’re welcome to jump in and enjoy the water.

Swimming is at your own risk, and always at the Captain’s discretion depending on the weather and location.

We’ve got life jackets available if you’d like to use them.

For water safety info, check out our Terms & Conditions.

How Many People Can We Bring?

Our luxury 51ft yacht is licensed for up to 25 guests, plus crew.

We’ll tailor your cruise whether it’s a chill group outing or a full-blown party.

Where Do We Board?

We depart from Berth B40 at Mariners Cove Marina

(60 Sea World Drive, Main Beach, QLD 4217).

Look for us at Ray White Marine, at the end of the car park closest to the water.

Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early so you don’t miss any of the fun!

Can We Smoke or Vape?

We’re a non-smoking vessel due to fire safety and boat materials.

However, vaping is allowed outdoors on the back deck — just check with the crew first.

What Should We Wear?

Comfort is key! We recommend casual party clothes, flat shoes or barefoot, and no heels or dark soles (to protect the boat).

Don’t forget a hat, sunnies, or your best outfit for those Instagram moments.

What Happens If It Rains?

Our cruises run in sheltered Gold Coast waterways, so light rain usually won’t stop the fun.

If weather conditions are unsafe, we’ll work with you to reschedule at no charge.

What’s the Deposit & Payment Process?

To book your cruise, we require a $500 deposit.

The remaining balance is due 2 weeks before your charter date.

You can pay via credit card or bank transfer — whichever suits.
