This cruise starts at 12:45pm, pickup at the beach at Lionel Perry Park Surfers Paradise.  Then Beachcomber takes guests north, past the stunning houses fronting Nerang River, out onto the Broadwater, past Southport Yacht Club, Marina Mirage and SeaWorld.  We will pause to witness the pelican feeding at 1:30pm where a hundred pelicans swoop in for their lunch feast.  Then on our way again to reach Wavebreak Island at 1:45pm.  Often we spot the resident sea life of dolphins, green sea turtles and the occasional dugong.

We anchor at Wavebreak for 1.5 hours.  Guests can choose to disembark via our beach-access  front ladder, taking a picnic basket, and blanket with them or they can stay aboard to enjoy their lunch.  They will discover your private ‘pop-up’ cabanas set up awaiting your arrival.

Guests can enjoy swimming, float atop our aqua lily mat or do some casual fishing.  Some may like to do yabbie-pumping on the sandbanks if tide permits.

Then after the island escape, it is a 30-min leisurely cruise back to Surfers Paradise.

Lunch provided:

• A glass (or 2) of Prosecco (for guests 18 or older)

Pickup at Runaway Bay Marina.  Morning or Afternoon trip.

Let our Skipper pick you up from Runaway Bay and take you on a Fishing Charter of the Gold Coast’s Broadwater so that you have a 5-hour of fishing fun, with guidance on fishing spots, tips and tricks.  This is great for team-building, celebration parties, social club gatherings or just a fun day with friends.

Fishing on the Broadwater is a calm water adventure where we go in search of estuary fish species, targeting fish such as flathead, bream, whiting and others using a variety of proven techniques. This is your chance to try techniques such as ‘lure fishing’ if you have never done this before.  We use quality fishing gear with brands such as Sumaki, EcoGear, Z-man, Zerek & Lively Lures.  We use lures, soft plastics, vibes and baits, depending on what works best on the day.  Our crew will clean your fish at the end of the day.

If the tide allows, we can take our guests yabbie-pumping on the Broadwater sandbanks for fresh bait – the kids love this!

Price Includes:

• All fishing gear for use.  Good quality rods, reels, lures and bait
• Esky with ice.  You can BYO alcoholic drinks
• Bottled water, soft drinks, Tea/Coffee
• Snacks

You can pre-order chicken/ham & salad rolls ($4), gourmet platters ($20 pp) of antipasto or cheese & fruit, cooked prawns served on crusty bread and our special seafood cocktail sauce ($90 per kg), etc.
