There’s plenty to see, including Steve Irwin’s vessel Croc One as well as the family home.

Prepare to be wowed by the breathtaking coastal vistas stretching from Mooloolaba Beach to Noosa Heads. On our return journey, you may even catch a glimpse of the Brisbane pilotage service’s pilot boats or spy the Osprey Eagles’ nest.

Testimonials

The cruise was absolutely beautiful! It exceeded our expectations. The kids got to steer the boat for quite a generous amount of time, and Paul was so patient with them. Great knowledge of the area, and great on-board service. We got off, and the kids said it had been the best part of their holiday! Cannot recommend it enough!

– Mel

The best cruise ever! Very informative and enjoyable. The drinks were superb, and we saw amazing properties and even a stingray jump out of the water. Highly recommend this trip!

– Anne A

Such a lovely way to spend an hour with the perfect amount of interesting commentary and fabulous hosts who are truly service oriented. We were delighted to find a nice intimate group that left us all to make ourselves at home, and practically lounge on the boat while enjoying are Prosecco served by the gorgeous Georgie. The boat itself is just the cutest little vessel fitted out with lovely coastal soft furnishings. Definitely recommend!
