What you can expect
See the Gold Coast like never before with up to eight people aboard your very own environmentally friendly, self-drive picnic boat.
Boating just became much more attainable — you can now captain your own boat along the glittering Gold Coast waterways at your leisure. Setting sail from Isle of Capri in the heart of Surfers Paradise, you'll experience the Gold Coast from a whole new perspective.
With no boat licence required, these eco-friendly electric boats are easy and fun to drive, with virtually no noise or fumes. Gather your crew and pack a picnic to make the most of your time on the water. A communal timber picnic table, cup holders, and a canopy are provided so you can relax and unwind in comfort and style.
Perfect for couples, families, friends — and even your pets — a morning or afternoon out on the water is one of the best things to do on the Gold Coast. Book online and jump aboard!
