Highly reccommended. A top class act. - The boat is fabulous, fitted out to be very comfortable while maximising the views on all sides. The service was incredibly helpful & friendly. We were teated like family. Coffee, tea and a lovely selection of snacks were comlimentary - and available all the rime. The captain encouraged anyone and everyone to have a go at the helm. His commenary was very informative and amazingly entertaining. This is a fabulous family business that all Aussies can be proud of.

A lovely river cruise with a friendly captain. - A lovely river cruise with a friendly captain. A small family run business with not too many people rammed on the boat, so we had a great view and seat at all times. Bar prices were reasonable and crackers and cheese were included (we went in the afternoon). The captain even let passengers have a drive of the boat on the way back. A great way to see more of the Gold Coast.
