Private Sightseeing & River Cruises – Gold Coast Waterways
Experience the Gold Coast from a New Perspective
See the city skyline, sandy coves, and luxury waterfront homes as you cruise the Broadwater and Nerang River in comfort and style. From Surfers Paradise and Chevron Island to the peaceful pockets around Budds Beach and Sovereign Islands, our private sightseeing cruises are the most relaxing way to explore.
What You’ll See on Your Cruise

Chevron Island & Paradise Waters
Drift through scenic canals surrounded by luxury waterfront homes, hidden passageways, and tranquil pockets of calm water just minutes from the city.
Budds Beach
