Cruising the Canals - Great affordable attraction. See GC from the water. BYO picnic so even more affordable. The stop at Isle of Capri was awesome. 3hours was a great amount of time.

Friendly, courteous and professional - well worth it - Great day out when we decided to get out and about on the Gold Coast Broadwater for a day. Booking was easy, and upon arrival Nick had everything ready to go. He gave us all the required safety briefing and provided everything needed. The boat was well equipped and easy to use. Would definitely use them again for our next hire.

A lovely way to cruise the canals - This was a wonderful self drive cruise in a quiet, roomy, comfortable, electric boat. Sailing quietly along the canals was so peaceful and very interesting. The boat canopy is open sided but provides complete shade. Nitsa was really helpful and friendly in telling us how to manage the boat ( it's very easy) and where to travel on the canal. We'll definitely come back and do this cruise again.
