Sizzle and Sail: Renting a BBQ Boat Made Simple

Experience the Ultimate Waterfront BBQ Trip

Barbecue boat hire has become one of the Gold Coast's most sought-after leisure activities, combining the joy of cruising beautiful waterways with the pleasure of outdoor dining.

Looking for a unique way to explore the Gold Coast's stunning waterways with friends and family? Barbecue boat hire offers the perfect blend of trip and relaxation, allowing you to be your own captain while cruising in style.

These purpose-built vessels come equipped with everything you need for a memorable day on the water – from gas BBQs and seating areas to safety equipment and sometimes even Bluetooth speakers for your favorite tunes. The best part? Most BBQ boats don't require a license to operate, making them accessible to nearly everyone.

With our pontoon hire options, you can bring your own beverages to enjoy while exploring hidden coves and scenic waterways. We don't charge corkage fees – we simply ask that you leave our pontoons as clean as you found them.

Why Choose Barbecue Boat Hire on the Gold Coast

There's something magical about experiencing the Gold Coast from the water – a perspective that transforms familiar landmarks into breathtaking vistas and reveals hidden gems you'd never spot from shore. Barbecue boat hire offers this unique vantage point while adding a delicious twist to your trip.

The Gold Coast's waterways are truly spectacular in their diversity. From the expansive Broadwater with its crystal-clear waters to the serene canals that wind their way through our sun-drenched city, each offers a different flavor of Gold Coast charm. Imagine gliding past the opulent waterfront mansions of Sovereign Islands, their grand facades reflecting in the gentle ripples of your wake. Or perhaps you'll be lucky enough to spot dolphins playing in the Broadwater, their sleek forms breaking the surface as they frolic nearby.

"We had an amazing time on our BBQ Pontoon trip. The boat was very nice and easy to operate after the brief instructions before launching. The 2-hour time slot was perfect—more than enough time to see the sites and explore the river," shares Greg K., who recently enjoyed one of our pontoon trips.

One of the greatest joys of barbecue boat hire is finding that perfect spot to anchor. Picture yourself dropping anchor in a tranquil cove, the iconic Surfers Paradise skyline creating a dramatic backdrop as you fire up the onboard BBQ. The sizzle of fresh seafood on the grill, cold drinks in hand, and nothing but blue skies above – this is Gold Coast living at its finest.

What makes our waterways particularly special for barbecue boat hire is their accessibility for everyone. The northern reaches of the Gold Coast remain relatively untouched, offering peaceful cruising grounds where you can escape the everyday hustle. Meanwhile, vibrant areas like Main Beach and the Spit deliver that quintessential Gold Coast energy if you're in the mood for something more lively.

Lisa Stock, another happy customer, couldn't contain her enthusiasm: "What a fantastic day out!! Hired the boat for my son's 21st birthday celebration and it made the day!! So much fun with the music, beverages and picnic whilst admiring the million dollar homes."

Whether you're visiting from interstate or overseas and want to see the Gold Coast from its most flattering angle, or you're a local looking for a fresh weekend activity, barbecue boat hire delivers a perfect blend of relaxation, dining, and exploration. Our pontoon hire options allow you to bring your own drinks and food, creating a customized experience that feels like your own private floating restaurant – without any corkage fees. We simply ask that you leave our pontoons as clean as you found them.

The Gold Coast's enviable climate means barbecue boat hire is an excellent option year-round, with our sunny winters and balmy summers creating perfect conditions for a day on the water. It's no wonder both tourists and locals alike rank this experience as one of the must-do activities on the Gold Coast.

Types of Barbecue Boats Available for Hire

When planning your Gold Coast trip, choosing the right barbecue boat hire can make all the difference to your day on the water. We offer several fantastic options to match your group size, budget, and the vibe you're going for.

Think of your boat choice as setting the stage for your entire experience – from intimate gatherings to larger celebrations, there's a perfect vessel waiting for you. Our Gold Coast customers typically choose from pontoon barbecue boats, donut-shaped options, luxury vessels, self-drive boats, and party pontoons.

Each boat type brings something special to your day. Pontoons offer stability and space, while our luxury options add those premium touches that make special occasions truly memorable. The beauty is that most of our boats don't require a boating license, opening up the waterways to everyone.

Pontoon Barbecue Boats

Our pontoon barbecue boats are the stars of our barbecue boat hire fleet – and for good reason! These floating platforms are incredibly stable (no wobbling while you're flipping those snags on the barbie), and can comfortably fit up to 12 of your nearest and dearest.

Picture this: you're cruising the stunning Gold Coast waterways with your family or mates, the sun is shining, and everyone's gathered around the central BBQ grilling up a feast. That's the pontoon experience in a nutshell!

Our GC Jet Ski pontoons come fully equipped with all the comforts you need for a brilliant day out. We've installed 4-burner BBQs, running water with a proper sink, and even electric flushing toilets (trust me, this is a game-changer when you're out on the water all day). The hydraulic steering and electric start mean even first-timers can steer with confidence.

"My friends and I rented a boat for 2 hours and it was absolutely beautiful being out on the river," shares Brittany, one of our happy customers. "The boat was easy to drive and the BBQ was a great added touch!"

Families particularly love our pontoon boats because of the safety railings and stable platform – no need to worry about the little ones, and there's plenty of room for everyone to move around comfortably. With dimensions around 6m x 3m, you'll have all the space you need to prepare food, enjoy your meal, and soak in those gorgeous Gold Coast views.

Luxury Barbecue Boats

When ordinary just won't do, our luxury barbecue boat hire options take your Gold Coast experience to the next level. These premium vessels are perfect for those special occasions – milestone birthdays, anniversaries, or impressing corporate clients with something truly memorable.

What makes our luxury boats special? It's all in the details – plush, comfortable seating that you can sink into, superior sound systems to set the mood with your favorite tunes, and high-quality BBQ equipment that makes cooking a pleasure rather than a chore. The powerful engines ensure a smoother ride, and thoughtful design elements mean you'll be turning heads as you cruise the waterways.

With space for up to 10 people, these boats create a more intimate setting without sacrificing comfort. They're ideal when you want to make lasting memories with the important people in your life.

One delighted customer who chose our luxury option for a special celebration told us: "We did the Fireworks time slot & had an awesome time!! Seeing downtown from the river view at night was amazing! The staff was friendly, helpful & accommodating! The boat was absolutely great!"

Yes, our luxury barbecue boat hire options do come at a premium – full-day hire starts around $495, with half-day options at $395 when available. But for those special moments that deserve something extra, the investment delivers an experience that stands out from the ordinary.

At GC Jet Ski, safety remains our priority even with our luxury fleet. Each vessel features fuel gauges, GPS tracking, and reliable Yamaha High Thrust outboard engines that provide smooth performance as you explore the Gold Coast's magnificent waterways. And remember – you're welcome to BYO drinks with no corkage fees (we just ask that you leave our pontoons as clean as you found them).

How to Rent a Barbecue Boat

Booking a barbecue boat on the Gold Coast is easier than you might think! I've helped countless guests steer this process, and I'm happy to share exactly how it works so you can get out on our beautiful waterways with minimal fuss.

First, you'll want to do a bit of homework to find a provider you can trust. Look for companies (like us at GC Jet Ski!) with plenty of positive reviews, transparent pricing, and solid safety credentials. We've built our reputation on honest service and well-maintained boats.

Timing matters when it comes to barbecue boat hire. Our gorgeous Gold Coast weather means these boats are in hot demand, especially during summer months and holidays. I always recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks ahead during our busy season (October through April) or 3-4 days in advance during quieter periods. This ensures you don't miss out on your preferred date.

When selecting your vessel, think about who's coming along. Are you planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration? Our boats accommodate groups from 6 to 12 people, with different layouts and amenities to match your needs. Our pontoon boats are particularly popular for their spaciousness and stability – perfect for cooking and dining on the water.

Most guests choose between half-day trips (4 hours) or full-day experiences (8-9 hours). Half-day rentals typically range from $200-$300, while full-day options run between $300-$550 depending on the boat size and features. It's worth considering what you want to see and do – a half-day is perfect for exploring nearby waterways, while a full day allows you to venture further and truly unwind.

Making your reservation is straightforward – you can book online or give us a call. You'll need to provide basic details like your preferred date, time, boat type, and group size. Most companies (including us) require a small deposit to secure your booking, usually 20-30% of the total cost.

On the day of your trip, you'll complete some quick paperwork and show identification. The designated driver needs to be at least 21 years old with a valid driver's license. Don't worry – this is just standard procedure to ensure everyone's safety.

Before you set off, we'll walk you through a comprehensive safety briefing. This typically takes about 20-30 minutes and covers everything from operating the boat to navigating the waterways safely. This is actually one of my favorite parts of the process – seeing the excitement build as guests realize how easy these boats are to handle!

Most companies require a security bond (usually $200-$500), which is fully refundable when you return the vessel in good condition. We typically handle this with a simple credit card pre-authorization.

Then comes the best part – you're ready to cruise! Cast off and enjoy your day exploring the stunning Gold Coast waterways, cooking up a feast, and creating memories with your friends and family.

One of our recent guests, Nicole, told us: "Had the most amazing time Coasting Around! The staff was very nice, we went on a cruise for an hour and had a great time. Definitely recommend."

Quick tip for spontaneous triprs: If you're looking to book last-minute (less than 9 hours before departure), I'd recommend calling directly rather than using the online system. This ensures we can accommodate you and provide all the information you need for a smooth experience.

Do You Need a License for Barbecue Boat Hire?

Here's the good news that surprises many of our guests: "No licence is required for any of our hire boats. Fuel and lifejackets are supplied."

This accessibility is what makes barbecue boat hire such a fantastic activity for visitors to the Gold Coast. Our boats are specifically designed to be user-friendly, with straightforward controls that even complete beginners can master quickly.

While you don't need a special boating license, there are a few simple requirements to keep in mind. The designated driver should be at least 21 years old and have a valid car driver's license for identification purposes. This person will take responsibility for the vessel during your trip.

Instead of requiring a license, we provide a comprehensive safety briefing before you set off. This typically takes about 20-30 minutes and covers everything you need to know – from starting the engine to navigating the waterways safely. Our team takes pride in making this both informative and fun, ensuring you feel completely confident before taking the helm.

It's worth noting that this license exemption applies to our standard BBQ boats. Some larger or more powerful vessels (particularly those with higher horsepower motors) might have different requirements, but this isn't something you'll need to worry about with our standard barbecue boat hire options.

Even though no license is required, we do emphasize responsible operation. The driver is still accountable for following waterway rules and ensuring everyone's safety. Our briefing covers all the essentials, including speed limits in different areas, giving way to other vessels, and safe anchoring techniques.

Peter, one of our happy customers, shared: "We had been looking forward to our river experience since booking in December and we can honestly say the experience exceeded our expectations. The Riverbank scenery was a highlight and we will definitely be returning in the near future."

This accessibility is precisely what makes our barbecue boat hire so popular with tourists and locals alike. You can enjoy a unique perspective of the Gold Coast's stunning waterways without needing specialized qualifications or previous boating experience – just bring your sense of trip, and we'll handle the rest!

Amenities and Inclusions in BBQ Boat Rentals

There's something magical about cruising the Gold Coast waterways with everything you need right at your fingertips. When you choose barbecue boat hire with GC Jet Ski, we've thought of all the little details to make your day on the water absolutely perfect.

Our pontoons come fully equipped with impressive 4-burner BBQs that have plenty of space to cook up a feast for everyone on board. No need to worry about awkward cooking arrangements – these proper grills let you prepare everything from simple snags to gourmet seafood with ease. They're paired with a functional sink with running water, making food prep and cleanup a breeze.

Comfort is key when you're spending hours on the water. That's why our vessels feature generous padded seating arranged around central tables, creating the perfect social atmosphere for enjoying meals together. The built-in canopies provide essential shade from the Queensland sun, so you can relax without worrying about getting scorched.

One feature our guests particularly appreciate is the electric flushing toilet on board. It might not be the most glamorous amenity to discuss, but when you're out on the water for several hours, you'll be thankful it's there!

"We had the most amazing day! The boat was fantastic with plenty of room for 8 of us. Having a proper toilet on board made such a difference to our comfort level," shares Amanda, one of our regular customers.

Music sets the mood for any great day out, which is why our BBQ boats come with Bluetooth-compatible sound systems. Simply connect your phone and create the perfect soundtrack for your Gold Coast trip. We've also included large 50L eskies to keep your drinks and perishables perfectly chilled throughout your journey.

Speaking of drinks – one of the best parts about our barbecue boat hire service is our BYOB policy. Unlike some operators who charge hefty corkage fees, we're happy for you to bring your favorite beverages to enjoy responsibly while cruising. We simply ask that you leave our pontoons as clean as you found them when your trip concludes.

Safety is always our priority, which is why every vessel comes equipped with life jackets for all passengers, comprehensive first aid kits, and clear navigation maps of the Gold Coast waterways. Our boats even feature swim ladders, perfect for when you want to cool off with a refreshing dip during your cruise.

For those who enjoy fishing, our pontoon hire packages can include fishing equipment upon request. Imagine catching your lunch and cooking it fresh on the BBQ – it doesn't get more authentic than that!

With 30L of drinking water on board and all the essential cooking utensils provided, you'll have everything you need for a stress-free day. We've designed our barbecue boat hire experience to be completely hassle-free, allowing you to focus on creating memories with your friends and family rather than worrying about logistics.

As Greg, another happy customer puts it: "Everything was thought of – from cooking oil to cleaning supplies. It was like having a floating picnic spot with all the comforts of home, but with constantly changing million-dollar views!"

Safety Measures for a Safe Sailing Experience

Safety is our absolute top priority at GC Jet Ski when it comes to barbecue boat hire on the Gold Coast. While our BBQ boats are designed to be user-friendly and accessible to everyone, we want you to have not just a good time, but a safe one too!

Before you set sail on your pontoon trip, our friendly team provides a thorough 20-minute safety briefing. We'll walk you through everything you need to know – from basic boat controls to navigation rules and emergency procedures. We'll even show you how to safely operate the BBQ while on the water (because nobody wants their sausages overboard!).

"Would highly recommend!! Was SO much fun and they make sure you fully understand everything before you board," says Casey Lewis, one of our many happy customers.

Your safety is built right into our boats. Each vessel comes equipped with life jackets for every passenger (and yes, they're mandatory for children under 12), strategically placed fire extinguishers near the BBQ area, and first aid kits for those just-in-case moments. We've also installed GPS tracking systems on all our boats, so our team can keep an eye on your location throughout your journey – giving you peace of mind while you focus on having fun.

The Gold Coast weather is generally gorgeous, but conditions can change quickly on the water. That's why we carefully assess weather conditions before every departure. We even offer a handy "Flexi Option" that allows you to reschedule up to 24 hours beforehand if conditions aren't ideal. And here's a helpful tip from our experience: "WIND WARNING: If at your hire time, the winds are deemed 'strong' by our crew, we may not be able to put the umbrella up on your BBQ boat, as it can be dangerous." Safety first, shade second!

While we're delighted for you to bring your own beverages on our pontoon hire (no corkage fees!), we do ask everyone to drink responsibly. The designated driver must stay under the legal blood alcohol limit of 0.05%, and we encourage moderate consumption for all passengers. Remember to pack plenty of water too – the Queensland sun and alcohol can be a dehydrating combination!

Our boats themselves are maintained with meticulous care. Each vessel is fully insured and regularly serviced to exceed safety standards. We perform thorough safety checks before each hire, and all boats come equipped with fuel gauges and reserve fuel. There are even 12-volt sockets onboard so you can keep your devices charged – ensuring you can always call for assistance if needed.

As one happy customer put it: "The boat was very nice and easy to operate after the brief instructions before launching." We've designed the entire experience to be straightforward and stress-free, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy your barbecue boat hire trip on the Gold Coast's stunning waterways.

With GC Jet Ski, you're not just getting a boat rental – you're getting peace of mind, professional guidance, and the confidence to steer our beautiful waters safely. We've got your back so you can focus on making memories!

Tips for an Unforgettable Barbecue Boat Trip

Ready to make the most of your barbecue boat hire trip on the Gold Coast? We've spent years helping visitors create perfect days on the water, and I'm excited to share some insider tips that will transform your experience from great to absolutely unforgettable.

Planning Your Route

The Gold Coast's waterways offer something for everyone, whether you're after stunning mansions, natural beauty, or vibrant atmosphere.

The Broadwater gives you that classic open-water feeling with breathtaking views of the Surfers Paradise skyline that make for perfect photos. If you're fascinated by how the other half lives, cruising past Sovereign Islands lets you marvel at some of Australia's most luxurious waterfront mansions – it's like an architectural tour from the water!

Wave Break Island makes a perfect anchoring spot when it's time for lunch or a refreshing swim. Many of our guests love to stop here to enjoy their barbecue surrounded by calm, protected waters.

"Such a great experience! We floated down the river for two hours taking in the beautiful scenery, enjoying lunch with a few drinks. It was a great, different activity for the whole family," shares TJC76, one of our happy customers.

For those venturing to our northern cruising grounds, Tipplers Resort offers a lively atmosphere if you want to stretch your legs. Meanwhile, The Spit provides an up-close look at impressive superyachts alongside spectacular Gold Coast skyline views.

Food and Drink Preparation

The onboard BBQ is your ticket to a delicious feast on the water, but a little preparation goes a long way.

Pre-marinate your meats the night before to save time and pack in extra flavor. There's something special about the smell of marinated steaks hitting the grill while you're surrounded by water! Pre-cutting vegetables and preparing skewers before boarding means less work and more relaxation once you're cruising.

Bring a mix of easy-to-cook items like sausages and burger patties alongside some pre-made salads and sides in reusable containers. Many of our regular customers have finded that finger foods make for the easiest dining experience – less cleanup means more time enjoying the views!

Colin M, who recently enjoyed one of our BBQ boat experiences, tells us: "My wife and I saw this earlier in the year and thought that we would like to try it when we return. We booked it in as we returned in November... the experience included a two-person BBQ setup and was fantastic."

With our pontoon hire, you're welcome to bring your own beverages to enjoy responsibly while exploring the Gold Coast waterways. We don't charge corkage fees – we simply ask that you leave our pontoons as clean as you found them. An esky with ice is perfect for keeping drinks cold throughout your journey, though many of our boats already include a 50L esky for your convenience.

What to Bring

Beyond food and drinks, packing these essentials will ensure maximum comfort and enjoyment:

Sun protection is absolutely crucial on the water – the reflection intensifies UV rays, so pack plenty of sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses. Bring towels if swimming is on your agenda, and don't forget a camera or waterproof phone case to capture those moments you'll want to revisit for years to come.

While many of our boats come equipped with sound systems, a Bluetooth speaker can be handy if yours doesn't. Reusable water bottles help everyone stay hydrated, especially important when enjoying alcoholic beverages under the Australian sun. Even on warm days, a light jacket or windbreaker can make all the difference as it often gets breezy out on the water.

Fancy catching your lunch? Fishing is possible with our pontoon hire, so bring along your fishing equipment for a truly authentic waterway experience.

Respecting the Waterways

The Gold Coast's waterways are precious, and we're passionate about preserving them for future generations. We ask all our customers to take all rubbish with them or dispose of it properly when returning to shore. Keeping noise levels reasonable is especially appreciated near residential areas – your music might be great, but not everyone shares your taste!

Always maintain a safe distance from marine animals – spotting dolphins or rays is exciting, but giving wildlife space shows respect. And of course, please follow all navigation rules and stay within designated areas for everyone's safety.

For more information about Gold Coast waterway rules and regulations, check out the Gold Coast Waterways Authority website.

Timing Your Trip

The time of day dramatically affects your barbecue boat hire experience:

Early mornings (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM) offer the calmest waters and best wildlife spotting opportunities. The waterways are peaceful, and you might catch glimpses of dolphins or rays enjoying the morning calm.

Midday (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) is perfect for BBQ lunches and swimming, with warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine to enjoy the full Gold Coast experience.

Late afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM) brings cooler temperatures and the possibility of spectacular sunset views. As one delighted customer told us: "We chose to do the 7 PM and it was absolutely beautiful getting sunset whilst onboard. Amazing experience!"

By following these insider tips from our team at GC Jet Ski, you'll maximize every minute of your barbecue boat hire trip, creating memories that will have you planning your next Gold Coast waterway experience before the first one even ends!

Frequently Asked Questions about Barbecue Boat Hire

Can I bring my own alcoholic beverages on board?

Absolutely! One of the best things about our pontoon hire at GC Jet Ski is our relaxed BYOB policy. You're welcome to bring your favorite drinks along to enjoy while cruising our beautiful Gold Coast waterways. And here's the good news - we don't charge any corkage fees!

We simply ask that you enjoy responsibly. The designated driver needs to stay under the 0.05% blood alcohol limit (safety first!), and we encourage everyone to drink in moderation. Those stunning waterfront mansions are much more impressive when you're not seeing double!

"It was so beautiful being out on the river and we were able to cruise slowly and worry-free! The boat was easy to drive and we truly had a great time," shared one of our happy customers who enjoyed a few cold ones during their cruise.

If possible, bring your beverages in cans or plastic containers rather than glass - it's safer for everyone on board. And in keeping with our simple philosophy, we just ask that you leave our pontoons as clean as you found them. That way, everyone gets to enjoy the same great experience.

Is fishing allowed during the BBQ boat hire?

Fishing enthusiasts, rejoice! You're absolutely welcome to drop a line during your barbecue boat hire trip. Our pontoons make excellent fishing platforms, with plenty of stability and space for you and your mates to try your luck.

You'll need to BYO fishing gear - rods, reels, tackle, and bait - but the good news is that most areas around the Gold Coast don't require a recreational fishing license. Our pontoons provide the perfect stable platform for fishing, and there's nothing quite like grilling your fresh catch on the onboard BBQ!

During your pre-departure briefing, we'll point out the best fishing spots along with any restricted areas to avoid. Just remember to be mindful of size limits and protected species - we want to preserve our beautiful marine environment for generations to come.

"We floated down the river for two hours taking in the beautiful scenery, enjoying lunch with a few drinks. It was a great, different activity for the whole family," shared one customer who combined fishing with their BBQ boat experience. It's the perfect way to create those lasting family memories!

What happens if the weather turns bad?

The Gold Coast is famous for its sunshine, but Mother Nature occasionally has other plans. At GC Jet Ski, we take weather-related safety very seriously with our barbecue boat hire services.

Before your booking, we keep a close eye on weather forecasts and will reach out if conditions look questionable. Many of our packages include a handy "Flexi Option" that allows you to reschedule up to 24 hours before your booking if the weather isn't looking ideal. For severe weather warnings, we'll help you reschedule at no additional cost - your safety is our priority.

If the skies decide to open up during your cruise, don't panic! During your safety briefing, we'll provide clear guidelines on safe areas to head toward. Our boats have weather protection features, though we do note that "If at your hire time, the winds are deemed 'strong' by our crew, we may not be able to put the umbrella up on your BBQ boat, as it can be dangerous."

One customer who experienced changing conditions shared: "The staff was friendly, helpful & accommodating! Boat was great!" We pride ourselves on working with you to ensure you have the best possible experience, regardless of what the weather throws our way.

Each weather situation is unique, so if your trip is significantly impacted by unexpected severe weather, we'll work with you on potential partial refunds or rescheduling options. The Gold Coast enjoys fantastic weather most of the year, but it's good to know we've got you covered if things change.

Experience the Thrill of the Gold Coast Like Never Before

While barbecue boat hire offers a relaxed and social way to experience the Gold Coast waterways, there's another side to aquatic trips that delivers pure exhilaration. At GC Jet Ski, we're proud to offer exciting options that complement our leisurely pontoon experiences.

Our Jet Ski Tours provide the perfect adrenaline rush to balance the laid-back vibe of BBQ boating. Feel the wind in your hair and the spray on your face as you zoom across the Broadwater, finding hidden islands and secluded beaches that larger vessels simply can't reach. Our experienced guides ensure both your safety and enjoyment, carefully tailoring the experience whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned rider.

"My friends and I had an absolute blast on the jet ski tour," shares Michael T., one of our happy customers. "The guides were knowledgeable about the area and made sure we were comfortable before hitting the open water. Seeing the Gold Coast from this perspective was incredible!"

Many visitors to the Gold Coast find that combining experiences creates the perfect day on the water. Imagine starting your morning with the heart-pumping excitement of jet skiing, then winding down in the afternoon with a relaxing barbecue boat hire cruise as the sun begins its descent over our stunning skyline. It's truly the best of both worlds.

Our jet ski tours come in various durations to suit your schedule and comfort level, from quick 30-minute tasters to comprehensive 2.5-hour trips, with prices starting from just $130. Each tour includes professional safety instruction, all necessary equipment including life vests, and guidance from locals who know the waterways intimately. You'll even have opportunities to spot dolphins, rays, and other marine wildlife in their natural habitat.

What makes the Gold Coast so special for water trips is the unique combination of protected waterways, breathtaking skyline views, and natural beauty. Whether you prefer the social atmosphere of our barbecue boat hire options or the thrill of jet skiing, you're guaranteed memories that will last a lifetime.
