Setting Sail on the Gold Coast

The sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon as I made my way to Mariner’s Cove Marina, the starting point for the Broadwater Discovery Lunch Cruise. The salty breeze carried the promise of a perfect day on the water, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement bubbling up inside me. As a surfer, I’ve spent countless hours on the ocean, but there’s something uniquely thrilling about setting sail on a cruise, especially one that promises a delicious lunch and a chance to learn more about the Gold Coast’s rich history.

The Spirit of Gold Coast vessel was a sight to behold, large and stable, ready to take us on a two-hour journey through the picturesque Broadwater. As we boarded, the crew welcomed us with warm smiles, and I could already tell this was going to be a memorable experience. The boat was equipped with a fully licensed bar, and I made a mental note to try one of their cocktails later on.

A Feast for the Senses

Once we set sail, the views were nothing short of spectacular. The Gold Coast skyline shimmered in the distance, and the water sparkled under the sun’s rays. As we cruised along, the live professional commentary provided fascinating insights into the landmarks and monuments we passed. It was a perfect blend of relaxation and education, and I found myself soaking up every word.

Lunch was served shortly after, and it was a feast fit for a king. The trio of meats—fresh chicken, ham off the bone, and succulent turkey—was complemented by a selection of salads and freshly baked dinner rolls. Each bite was a delight, and I couldn’t help but savor the flavors as I enjoyed the stunning views around me. It was the perfect way to refuel after a morning of exploration.

A Day to Remember

As we continued our journey, I couldn’t help but reflect on how this cruise was a perfect complement to my usual ocean adventures. While I’m used to chasing waves and analyzing surf conditions, this was a chance to sit back, relax, and let someone else take the helm. The commentary added a layer of depth to the experience, and I found myself appreciating the Gold Coast in a whole new way.

The cruise came to an end all too soon, but I left with a heart full of memories and a newfound appreciation for this beautiful part of the world. Whether you’re a fellow ocean lover or just looking for a unique way to experience the Gold Coast, the Broadwater Discovery Lunch Cruise is an adventure you won’t want to miss. It’s a chance to see the world from a different perspective, and I can’t wait to do it all over again.
