“charming older boat, great cruise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

I chose this cruise as it was on a pretty, smaller, wooden boat as opposed to going on a newer but characterless one. The boat was lovely with excellent upstairs viewing deck. Everything was very well looked after and it was a pleasure to be on. The cruise was good, lots of local information and a bit of juicy gossip.... More

“Perfect Day on teh Broadwater”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011

This cruise of the Broadwater was absolutely fabulous. We boarded the vessel aided by our Captain, Steve. We proceeded to the top deck to bask in the sun as Steve guided us through the canals of the Gold Coast. We are locals to the Gold Coast and we were surprised at how informative Steve was - we learnt a lot!... More

We were lucky enough to go on the Broadwater Canal Cruises "morning cruise" this week. The cruise left from Marina Mirage at 10.30am. We went via a quick stop at Surfers Paradise jetty to pick up some more passengers, and then the commentary began as we cruised around the islands of Surfers Paradise. It was a beautiful day, and Steve... More
