One of the best longer cruise destinations on the Gold Coast
Tipplers works so well because it gives people more than just a boat ride. You get the cruise itself, Broadwater scenery, calm water, beach time, swimming and the option to step ashore for lunch or drinks.
Relaxed island atmosphere
It feels like a proper day out rather than just a short loop on the water.
Great for swimming and beach time
Tipplers suits groups who want calm water, floating, sand and an easy stop-off feel.
Works for lots of group types
Great for birthdays, hens, bucks, family groups, corporate socials and visitors wanting a classic Gold Coast day trip.

Tipplers works best on longer charters
Because it’s more of a destination day than a short city cruise, Tipplers usually suits groups wanting a few solid hours to cruise, swim and stop properly.
One destination, lots of uses
Tipplers is flexible enough to suit party groups, chilled social groups, sightseeing visitors and families wanting a day on the water.
