About this tour
Spend four hours aboard Beachcomber, a private charter vessel carrying up to 12 passengers across the Gold Coast's Broadwater. You'll anchor at an island to swim, fish, lounge on a floating mat, or wade ashore. It's a casual half-day on the water with light refreshments included—perfect for those wanting to escape the beach crowds without committing to a full-day expedition.
Highlights
- Anchor at a secluded island in the Broadwater
- Fish from the boat with provided rods and tackle
- Swim and explore the shoreline at your own pace
- Lounge on the Aqua Lily Mat tethered alongside
- Complimentary Prosecco, soft drinks, and water
- Snorkelling equipment available by arrangement
- Small-group intimate setting, max 12 guests
What to expect
You'll board Beachcomber and cruise the calm waters of the Broadwater before dropping anchor at an island spot. Most of the time is unstructured—swim if you fancy it, cast a line from the deck, or simply sprawl on the floating mat with a drink. The boat's front ladder gives direct access to shallow water and sand, so adventurous swimmers can wade ashore to explore. Snorkelling gear is on hand if you've arranged it beforehand. The vibe is relaxed and informal, with crew on hand but no set itinerary once anchored.
Good to know
Bring your own alcohol if you prefer something other than Prosecco. Let the operator know your shoe and fin sizes in advance if planning to snorkel. Not suitable for those with spinal injuries or serious heart conditions. Infants must sit on an adult's lap; prams can be brought aboard.
