Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is the forth year in a row we have hired a pontoon from Craig. Boats are always clean and well maintained. BBQs are spotless . Craigs knowledge of the Broadwater is excellent and he always offers advice on where to head depending on the weather conditions. I've no hesitation in recommending Gold Coast party pontoons to friends and family, it's a great way to relax and enjoy the Broadwater and good value for money when compared to other activities.

23 December, 2024, second time renting a party pontoon from Gold Coast Party Pontoons. Great experience.
Boat itself was perfect. Very spacious, smooth on the water, easy to handle. BBQ & cooking area were very clean and kept the crew well fed. Having a toilet was such a bonus too.
We spent the day at Wave Break Island and beling allowed to drive the pontoon up on to the beach makes for easy access for everyone.
I'm very happy to highly recommend Gold Coast Party Pontoon Boat Hire to everyone without any concerns.

We returned this year and booked the Deluxe Pontoon once again. We absolutely love the boats and the warm, welcoming service Craig provides every single time. Our group of five—two adults and three kids—had an amazing time. We always choose to book with Craig because we know we’ll be well taken care of. We always have a fantastic day, fishing , swimming and enjoying a bbq in the beach. Thank you again for hosting us! See you next year.
Cheers

We were met by Craig at the Marina. Everything was explained to us before he took us out of the Marina. The boat was clean and well cared for. We had an awesome day out on the water. Would definitely recommend this for parties, fishing trips or just a lazy day with family. *****

We hired a boat a few days before Christmas 2022, and we cannot fault the service provided by Craig, along with the quality and standard of the party boat we were allocated!
The boat was very clean and had heaps of space. Craig’s is a very humble, helpful gentleman, his directions/explanation before the day started was very clear and easy to follow. The boats are loaded with everything you could ever need for the day, even a seaway map, easy for anyone to follow!
We definitely would recommend this for a family or any other group looking for a good day out on the water!
PS: If you can, request/hire a captain. May cost a few more dollars but gives you the space to enjoy yourself with the rest of your group. Definitely worth it!

What an amazing day, we almost rescheduled due to dull clouds and the threat of rain. So glad we didn't, the weather made for a better experience. The water was calm, the occasional slight drizzle helped combat the heat.
Craig the owner was amazing, giving us novices clear instructions on how to navigate the waterways. We booked The Ultimate pontoon, impressive size and had everything we needed.
Good food, good fishing, swimming and a bonus pod of dolphins came and played alongside us. Spectacular. Can't wait to do it again.

We had previously hired another company for a corporate event that did not turn up. Craig from Gold Coast party pontoons had a boat and skipper organised within 30 minutes to save us from our situation and pick up the team waiting at the doc.
Not only was he fast and effective in helping us, but he also catered to our changing needs while our guests were on the boat, such as a last-minute change of location and additional hours added.
These guys were fantastic and communicated we me thoroughly throughout the day.
They are absolutely a five-star operation.
Thank you so much!

We highly recommend hiring a BBQ pontoon boat from Gold Coast Party Pontoons. Craig provided excellent service making sure our day was enjoyed to the fullest with great local advice on anchorage and safety on the southern Broadwater.
The self drive pontoon was very clean throughout and contained every convenience down to the blue tooth system for our music.

A great family day out. 11 of us. We were impressed with the spaciousness of the ultimate pontoon boat. At first a few were disappointed with its speed but in a short time everyone was relaxed and laid back, just what we needed. Some swam, some fished and others just relaxed on a beach after an onboard BBQ. Definitely recommend. Just remember to take everything yourself that you think you may need.
