About Us
Locally owned. Family operated. Creating unforgettable private yacht experiences on the Gold Coast.
Inspiration Cruises is a family-owned private boat charter business based on the Gold Coast, creating unforgettable experiences on the water since 2002.
Our mission is simple: to help people celebrate, connect, and unwind while exploring the stunning Gold Coast waterways aboard our luxury yacht.
