About this tour
Sail across the Gold Coast Broadwater at dusk aboard an intimate luxury vessel with just ten passengers. You'll drift past iconic shoreline markers—Southport Yacht Club, Marina Mirage, Wave Break Island, Surfers Paradise—while the sky shifts through burnt orange and deep pink. Two glasses of sparkling wine or a soft drink arrive with a small nibbles platter as the light fades over the water. Two hours of gentle motion and unrushed atmosphere.
Highlights
- Ten-person maximum keeps the deck uncrowded and crew attentive
- Sparkling wine and snacks included with the sailing
- Broadwater passes Surfers Paradise and Wave Break Island
- Soft evening light ideal for photographs
- No engine noise—pure sail experience
What to expect
You'll board via a short stairway (1–2 steps) onto a working sailboat designed for small groups. The crew handles all sail work; your job is to settle in, take in the breeze, and watch the coast slip by. The Broadwater stays sheltered and flat, so expect gentle rocking rather than waves. As sunset approaches, the sky ignites and the crew brings out your drinks and platter. Conversation tends to flow naturally among the small group, though solitude is equally welcome. The return journey happens as light fades completely.
Good to know
Wear soft-soled shoes for the deck. The cruise runs regardless of weather—pack layers or a light jacket. Infants travel free if you bring a pram. Service animals welcome. Bring your own drinks if preferred. Public transport reaches the departure point; no hotel pickups included.
