Yacht Charters Gold Coast

Five-star fun in the sun on australia’s gold coast, best time to visit.

Activities & Experiences

Whether you’re looking for a decadent, luxurious afternoon or a thrill seeking adventure, the Gold Coast has something for you. Invite all your closest friends for a day of exploring, and cap it all off with a gourmet dinner onboard as you’re whisked back to shore.

Before setting sail, consider adding these must-do activities to your schedule:

VISIT THE THEME PARKS

No mention of the Gold Coast would be complete without discussing the theme park options. One of the area's biggest drawcards, families from all over Australia (and the world) travel to Warner Bros Movie World, Sea World, Dreamworld or Wet n’ Wild for a day of heart-pumping fun.

Ride thrilling roller coasters, meet some of your favourite movie characters and spot fun loving dolphins demonstrating natural behaviours. Get in early to beat the queues and don't forget sunscreen!

SEE THE SKYPOINT OBSERVATION DECK

Located in iconic Surfers Paradise, the Q1 building rises 230 metres above sea level, dominating the city skyline. From the top of the building the SkyPoint observation deck provides panoramic views of the stunning Gold Coast. If you’re feeling adventurous, try the SkyPoint Climb. Australia’s highest external climb, this adventure departs from the 77th level of the Q1 building. Participants will be guided to the eagle's nest located 270 metres above the ground below. Enjoy 360° views of the beautiful skyline and toast your success at the 77th floor Bistro+Bar.

DINE AT KIYOMI

Tucked away inside the glittering Star Casino is the mouthwatering Kiyomi japanese restaurant. Visionary Executive Head Chef Chase Kojima has created a delectable menu of authentic Tokyo inspired dishes with a modern twist. Put your trust in the chef by dining on a pre-set menu of small plates including tender Wagyu beef with an eel and kombu jus. Bookings are essential as this is one of the Gold Coast's most talked about establishments.

TAKE TO THE SKIES

If there’s one thing the Gold Coast does best, it’s luxury and excess without apology. What could be more luxurious than taking a private helicopter tour above this golden coastline. We recommend flying to Sirromet Wines, the largest and most awarded wine producer in Queensland.

Have a helicopter drop you right at the cellar door. Customisable tours are also available. If you fly with Gold Coast Helitours, you can even have Michelin star chef Frank Meijer be your pilot for the day as he takes you to a scenic location for a gourmet picnic.

An Outstanding Yacht Hire Experience ☆☆☆☆☆

"The whole experience Big Blue Charters provided couldn't have been more easy or enjoyable. Being on a small boat and getting to see the scale of the whales at eye level is absolutely unforgettable. Thank you for the amazing experience Blake"

"This was a great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we got to see lots of Whales and Dolphins on our tour. Being on a smaller boat was so much better than a big one as the Whales came right up to the boat! I would highly recommend this experience"

"WHAT A DAY! Me and my family had such a memorable experience on board Big Blue Charters. We were lucky enough to see some very playful whales and dolphins up close. If you’re looking for an intimate and relaxed day out on the water, this is it. Thanks again Blake, we loved it!"

"Absolutely excellent!! If you wanna go whale watching this is definitely the best choice! The boat has the ideal size and Blake is an absolute genious, he knows exactly where to go and how to approach the whales. I had a very special experience shared with only a few great people, a lot of respect and admiration. Thank you Blake !!! :-)"

Sailing on the azure waters of the Pacific Ocean allows you to enjoy panoramic views of the iconic skyline and the lush hinterland. Its warm, tropical climate offers year-round sailing possibilities, making it a must-visit destination for sailing enthusiasts worldwide.

Gold Coast’s sailing waters are rich in marine life. You may encounter playful dolphins, majestic whales during their migration season, and a wide array of fish species. For those interested in fishing, it’s an angler’s paradise, with opportunities to catch species like marlin, tuna, and mackerel.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Gold Coast

At Yachting.Rent, we understand the joy and excitement of sailing in the sun-soaked waters of Gold Coast, Queensland. With a variety of options in our fleet, including both sailing boats and catamarans, we are committed to helping you choose the perfect vessel for your adventure.

So, which to choose? Sailing boat or Catamaran? Let’s delve into the distinctive attributes of each.

Sailing boats, traditional and timeless, provide an intimate connection with the sea. The sensation of the hull cutting through the waves, the heeling in the breeze, and the sound of the wind in the sails offer an unparalleled sailing experience. Sailing boats are perfect for those who seek an active role in their journey, trimming sails and plotting the course. Additionally, their deeper drafts make them a preferable option for offshore sailing, ideal for exploring the Pacific Ocean around the Gold Coast.

On the other hand, catamarans, with their dual-hull design, promise stability, spaciousness, and speed. They offer expansive deck areas, perfect for sunbathing, socializing, or simply enjoying the panoramic views of the Gold Coast skyline and surrounding islands. The shallow draft of catamarans allows you to navigate closer to the shoreline, exploring hidden coves or the intricate canal system of the Gold Coast. This makes them a popular choice for family trips, group gatherings, or those planning to anchor and dive into the Queensland waters frequently.

At Yachting.Rent, we offer a range of both sailing boats and catamarans, ensuring that we have the right fit regardless of your preferred sailing style. Our team is ready to guide you in your selection, considering your group size, sailing experience, and specific needs.

Whether you choose the dynamic charm of a sailing boat or the comfort and stability of a catamaran, sailing in Gold Coast, Queensland promises an unforgettable journey. Unleash your inner explorer with Yachting.Rent, and let the ocean be your playground.

We had the pleasure of jumping on Serrano for my 30th Birthday weekend and Mark & Sienna were absolute rockstars. We had such a beautiful afternoon on the boat, spending time in the water, listening to music and having the time of our lives! Mark & Sienna's accommodating and easygoing nature made it such a pleasure to be on board, it was such a lovely experience. I would 10/10 recommend GC Sailing Charters and will definitely be a return customer - thanks again guys, we had a blast on your charter! :)

Tips for Planning Luxury Cruises on the Gold Coast Broadwater

If you are planning a day out or a weekend away in the waters off the Gold Coast, here are some tips to make your escape more enjoyable. 

•  Time of Year – Firstly, know which time of the year you want to book a luxury boat charter on the Gold Coast. Weather plays a big part in the type of experience you are seeking. For instance, during peak summer, it’s often hot and humid, and rain can be frequent and heavy. During the winter, it is drier; however, the evenings can be cold. Fortunately, you don’t have to let the rain bother you too much. Our yacht has many indoor spaces for you to enjoy and the Back Deck and Saloon are completely weather-proof.
• Food and Drinks – With our commercial-size kitchen,  you can hire a caterer and enjoy professionally-prepared dishes. Or, you can throw some snags on the BBQ and chat as you share a casual lunch togethr.  We have all the platters, plates and cutlery you could possibly require so there is no need to bring any plastic plates or utensils onboard during your luxury boat hire. 
• Time of Day – Do you enjoy the sunset and the stars or want a warm day for swimming and sun-bathing on the bow of the MV Bacchus? You may choose to enjoy the sunset with bubbly and light snacks to watch the lights of Surfers Paradise and sneak a peek inside the waterfront mansions as you cruise the Broadwater under the stars.  The MV Bacchus is well-lit for socialising under the stars with twinkling bistro lights on the Sky Lounge at the bow.   
• Swimming or Socialising? You need to discuss any swimming options with our Booking Agent beforehand as the Broadwater can have dangerous tides and currents and not all cruise times are suitable for swimming.  The size of the MV Bacchus makes it difficult to anchor too close to land so swimmers must be proficient.   The MV Bacchus has a swim mat onboard and range of floatation toys for guests to enjoy.  There is also a new 16-foot water trampoline available.  Ask our booking agent Janine about it.

How can Gold Coast Luxury Boat Charters help you?

There are many ways for you to use our well-appointed luxury yacht: 

Corporate Events : Plan your next corporate event on a chartered boat. Having your corporate event on a luxury yacht will not only impress your guests, but it will offer your staff a VIP experience in which you can show them how much they mean to the functioning of your company.

Parties and Special Occasions : You can also use a yacht for special occasions such as an engagement party, a wedding anniversary, a wedding, or even a hens or bucks party. Not only will the setting and the views impress your guests − but having this as your background for your photos will be pure magic. 

Family Fun Days : Another option is to charter a yacht simply to unwind. Once onboard, you can enjoy a sunset, or luxuriate in a mini holiday or by spending time on board for a weekend trip away with friends or family. You can either swim or simply work on your tan the choice is up to you. 

Just wanted to say thanks for an awesome trip. The boat was absolutely beautiful, and the service was excellent! You all seem like such lovely people, who really enjoy what you do. My daughter Mia is still talking about how much she enjoyed the experience.  Thanks again.

Yacht Charter in Gold Coast

Gold Coast yacht charter

The Gold Coast is a city in the state of Queensland and regarded as a tourist and lifestyle destination. Attracting over 11 million visitors a year, the Gold Coast boasts of 57km of beaches, major parks, over 100,000 hectares of world-heritage rainforests, a casino, over 40 golf courses, and hundreds of beautiful million-dollar homes situated on the city's vast waterfronts. With 300 days of sunshine each year and a strategic location between Cairns and Sydney, the Gold Coast has become a popular stopover for superyachts on their way to the Great Barrier Reef, or on their way back to Sydney. It is no surprise then that the Gold Coast has become one of Australia's largest yachting communities.

Why charter a yacht in Gold Coast?

Gold Coast features waterways, canals, and rivers that wind within the city. As a tourist and lifestyle destination, with the Coral Sea at its doorsteps, it has become one of the most popular yacht charter destinations in the country. On any given day, you will see yachts and boats on the waters, both on the inland waterway collectively known as the Broadwater, and on the coast. Marinas can be found in many parts of the city, as well as the Gold Coast Marine Precinct, which is a center of excellence for marine servicing and boat building, housing internationally recognized marine brands and manufacturers.

With this strategic location in Australia, and facing the Pacific Ocean, the Gold Coast is a yacht enthusiast's dream. The city offers all the modern amenities that make yachting life a breeze, while the vast ocean around it creates the perfect playground to cruise and explore in your very own luxury yacht. Perfectly blending luxury and adventure, the Gold Coast is a definite yacht charter destination worth discovering.

What are yacht charter prices in Gold Coast?

With yachting and boating one of the premier experiences in the city, it's only fitting that you get to find the best prices for the best yachts in Gold Coast. Take your pick from a luxury speedboat as you cruise down the waterways, or charter a superyacht as you head off to the Coral Sea and explore the nearby islands or even as far away as the Whitsundays.

Typical prices in Gold Coast for a yacht charter vary on many factors, such as the type of yacht, the number of people on board, the rental duration, destination, and activities. A 115-foot yacht that accommodates a group of 10 adults can cost about USD100,000 for an entire week, with full catering and snorkeling/fishing gear. A 122-foot yacht for the same number of people on board can cost around $125,000, while a 150-foot yacht can cost around $290,000 for a week's worth of cruising.

When is the yachting season in Gold Coast?

The Gold Coast has a subtropical climate and it never gets too cold nor too hot in the city, providing year-round pleasant weather for yacht charters. On the Broadwater waterways, the water is always calm as it is sheltered from the ocean swells.

Peak yachting season in the city is during the summer months of December to February, which are the best months to enjoy the sun, sand, and surf. However, the autumn months of June to August are also quite popular among yacht charterers in the Gold Coast due to the migratory patterns of humpback whales, which journey through the waters in the Coral Sea, as they make their way from Antarctica to the subtropical waters of Australia's east coast.

Gold Coast yacht charter for a day

The Gold Coast Broadwater offers plenty of beaches, hidden coves, and smaller islands that feature parks and many recreational opportunities. You can choose from the many marinas on the waterway as your base and visit nearby islands and beaches for a day of swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and lots of water sport activities. Other points of interest for a full-day yacht charter itinerary include Runaway Bay on the north for its cafes and restaurants, Tallebudgera Creek for hidden coves, and tucked-away beaches, or the Isle of Capri for 5-star restaurants and excellent shipping.

Gold Coast yacht charter overnight

There are so many coastal suburbs in the Gold Coast that there are so many choices for an overnight yacht charter in the city. You can choose any of the islands on the Broadwater, or pick the famous suburbs such as Byron Bay or the Isle of Capri. However, if you want to visit the jewel on the Gold Coast crown, that would have to be Surfer's Paradise. You can charter a yacht from Main Beach and head to Surfers Paradise Beach as your cruise along the coast.

One of the country's most recognizable destinations, you can charter a yacht to make your way to this beach, anchor off the bay, and enjoy a day of swimming, snorkeling, diving, or surfing. Come evening, you can anchor to a marina or yacht club nearby, and enjoy the famous nightlife that made this beach world-famous. Get back on the boat as soon as you enjoy the bars and clubs, spend the night under the stars, wake up to the soft waves lulling your boat, and head back to the marina on Main Beach.

Gold Coast yacht charter for a week

The Gold Coast may offer the perfect mix of a cosmopolitan and a laid back city, but within minutes, you are presented with countless opportunities to enjoy the region's beautiful natural assets. For a week-long yacht charter in the Gold Coast, you can choose to cruise along the coast to visit the city's suburbs and nearby coastal towns, as well as close-by islands.

Alternatively, you can go further all the way to Brisbane, to Moreton Bay and Moreton Island, to Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef to the north. Or, you can choose to go south and make your way to Sydney. We recommend the following itinerary if you plan to charter a yacht for a week in Gold Coast.

Day 1: Wave Break Island

Only a short 15 minutes away, this island is known for its diverse array of marine wildlife, as well as a great place to swim and snorkel. You can witness turtles, dolphins, stingrays, and many species of fish off the coast of this island paradise.

Day 2: South Stradbroke Island

This conservation park is 4,000 acres and home to a wide variety of wildlife, such as nature birds, lizards, and kangaroos. It is also known for its sand dunes and rugged beaches, perfect for a surf, swim, or snorkel.

Day 3: Byron Bay

This coastal town is still within the territory of the Gold Coast and is a popular holiday destination. It is known for lush rainforests, stunning beaches, surfing, scuba dive spots, and whale watching during the months of June to November.

Day 4: Coolangatta

Another coastal suburb of the Gold Coast, get to enjoy its famous sandy beaches and casual beachside culture.

Day 5: Coffs Harbour

A city known for its beaches, the Big Banana monument, and amusement park, you can find the Solitary Islands Marine Park, and the Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve here, perfect for witnessing seasonal whales, abundant wildlife, and diving its beautiful coral reefs.

Day 6: Sydney

Sydney is hours away but on day 6, you can enjoy time on the boat, stop for an hour or two of catch-and-release fishing, and end your week-long charter on the Sydney Harbor, just as the skyline starts to light up.

Wedding yacht charter in Gold Coast

Create a unique experience on your Gold Coast wedding by chartering a yacht and cruising down the Broadwater for your special day. You can choose to have your ceremony on any of the islands on the waterway, jump back on board, enjoy a sunset dinner, and cap the wedding day with champagne and views of the waterfront.

Corporate yacht charter in Gold Coast

A sunset charter on the Broadwater is definitely a luxurious way to impress your corporate clients. Fully catered charters are ideal for professional events, where you can host meetings, a company party, or team building activity, while the crew takes care of the food and everything else. A corporate yacht charter is definitely the best way to treat your staff, client, or potential business partner.

The Gold Coast is a beautiful city making use of its natural assets to offer countless recreational activities for both locals and tourists. With a strategic location on the east coast of Australia and midway between the capital of Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef, it offers the perfect stopover and jumping point for both regions. A yacht charter in the Gold Coast offers luxury and adventure for travelers who wish to enjoy the spoils of the city's coast and waterways

Queensland local government election results show several incumbent mayors face 'kicking' from voters

A mood for change has swept through regional Queensland, with voters punishing several incumbent mayors in major cities who are fighting to hold onto their jobs. 

The long-time mayor of Townsville, Jenny Hill, is battling to save her political career after a challenge from local businessman Troy Thompson.

With almost 70 per cent of the vote counted, Ms Hill is trailing Mr Thompson 43.71 per cent to 46.19 per cent on the first preference vote.

The third candidate, nurse Harry Patel, has received just over 10 per cent of the first preference vote.

Mayors in Cairns, Bundaberg, Mackay,  the Southern Downs and Mount Isa are also facing tough times and, in some cases, are losing the battle to hold on to their jobs.  

Voters dissatisfied

Griffith University political analyst Paul Williams said there appeared to be a mood for change across some, but not all, regional parts of the state.

"The only indicator that we might have to what voters might be thinking in changing local government representatives, as any reason why voters want to change incumbents, is general dissatisfaction," Associate Professor Williams said.

"So we know that voters, particularly in regional Queensland are unhappy with a range of issues.

He said cost of living was the biggest issue, followed by youth crime.

"So if the local voters feel politicians aren't doing enough about youth crime, if politicians aren't doing enough about cost of living, they will kick the incumbent at the first opportunity," he said.

"And the first opportunity in this occasion is a local government election in regional Queensland."

He said that was the case even if the level of government involved didn't have oversight over that issue. 

State election warning

Associate Professor Williams said the results in areas such as Townsville and Cairns would be a worry for the Labor state government, which is looking to hold onto those seats at October's State Election.

He said Labor members and candidates in the regions would feel the mood for change more than others.

"Just because voters have kicked incumbents in regional Queensland, particularly in the provisional cities, doesn't mean they're going to kick LNP candidates, far from it," he said.

In Townsville, neither Mr Thompson nor Cr Hill, who has been mayor since 2012, has claimed victory.

Mr Thompson said he would be closely monitoring the results today.

"I won't say I'm comfortable at all I'm just at the point where we wait with caution and see how we go," Mr Thompson said.

"There's still 45,000 votes to come in and also the preferences."

Mr Thompson, who is reported to have previously sought preselection with One Nation but is currently not a registered member of the party, ran on a rate freeze and tough-on-crime platform.

Crime, cost of living key issues

High crime rates in the city and the cost of living were two of the key issues voters raised at the polling booth.

"Just fix up the crime around Townsville make it a better place for all of us," one voter told the ABC.

"Cost of living … that is a lot, it's expensive."

Another voter, Grace Bryce, said that her while crime was an issue, road conditions and access to parks were also important.

The tough results for Cr Hill come after she was found not guilty in 2021 of driving without due care and attention in a crash that claimed the life of a 33-year-old motorcyclist.

The crash occurred in January 2020, in the months leading up to the previous council election.

She is one of many incumbent mayors across regional Queensland facing a strong challenge as counting continues from Saturday's elections.

In Bundaberg, incumbent Jack Dempsey, who in 2022 unsuccessfully ran for federal parliament, is trailing challenger Helen Blackburn.

Ms Blackburn, with 71 per cent of the vote counted, has just over 57 per cent of the first preference vote, while Mr Dempsey has just over 32 per cent.

Cr Dempsey took to Facebook on Sunday afternoon to thank people for their encouragement and support over the past eight years.

"It was a pleasure and a privilege to serve as mayor of the beautiful Bundaberg Region," the post said.

Ms Blackburn said the election results showed a mandate for transparency and accountability.

"I'm feeling very confident with the election results, that the people of the Bundaberg region have decided that what they are after is change," she said. 

Cairns Mayor Terry James is trailing challenger Amy Eden, who has 31 per cent of the first preference vote to his 22 per cent – with 55 per cent of the vote counted.

Ms Eden said she was feeling "buoyed" by the results. 

Mackay Mayor Greg Williamson is currently leading the first preference count, receiving 42 per cent of the vote.

However, former rugby league player Steve Jackson is coming second with just over 38 per cent of the first preference vote, while councillor Laurence Bonaventura has received just under 20 per cent.

"It's a very close race, there is no doubt about it," Cr Williamson said.

"All we can do now is wait.

"All of the pre-poll votes have got to be counted and there's a few thousand of those to go, and once that's determined then there's the distribution of the preferences."

Scenic Rim Mayor Greg Christensen is trailing challengers Tom Sharp and Jeffrey McConnell.

He conceded defeat on Sunday afternoon. 

On the Southern Downs, Mayor Vic Pennisi is behind challenger Melissa Hamilton.

Ms Hamilton said the votes were showing an appetite for change.

"If the voting trends continue then I am ready to lead a new council that works together to get things done for all of our wonderful communities, and I'm excited by the opportunities for our region," she said. 

Incumbent mayors in the Cassowary Coast, Aurukun, Burdekin, Cherbourg, North Burnett, Charters Towers, Mornginton Shire, Wujal Wujal and Maranoa were also under pressure as counting continued.

An 'anti-incumbency trend'

Queensland University of Technology Associate Professor John Mickel, a former speaker of Queensland's Legislative Assembly, said there had been an "anti-incumbency trend" across many parts of regional Queensland.

"It was profound in Bundaberg and the Scenic Rim. There is evidence of it in Mackay, and it seems to be there in Townsville as well," he said.

"In the absence of exit polling, it's hard to know why the trend is there.

"But it seems to be part of a story this time in regional Queensland."

Professor Mickel said local government elections in Queensland worked on an optional preferential voting model – where voters just had to put a 1 next to their candidate of choice.

He said the trend across previous elections showed voters generally didn't preference other candidates, so those who were leading in the first preference count tended to win.

"There might be some exchange of preferences, but not enough to overhaul anybody," he said.

"A lot of people are happy just to put one because they know that person."

But he said while there were these tight races in some areas, such as Gladstone and smaller regions like Goondiwindi, there had been a trend of some mayors running unopposed.

"It's a tale of Queensland in a way, there's so much regionalism," he said.

Some candidates confident

In Rockhampton, Mayor Tony Williams said he felt confident he would retain his role for another term.

Mr Williams is leading the count with 68 per cent of first preference votes, and around 80 per cent of the votes have been counted.

"There is plenty of opportunity coming up for our region over the next decade, and I think now is a great time to take advantage of that," Mr Williams said.

Former federal MP George Christensen looks set to return to politics as vote counting continues in the Mackay councillor race.

Mr Christensen is a member of Steve Jackson's 'Jacko's Team' grouping and is currently coming second in the race for one of 10 councillor positions — but only a small number of votes have been counted so far. 

In recent days, Mr Christensen, now a member of One Nation, has been running on an anti-woke platform, slamming a theatre event for kids at the council-owned events centre, as it features drag queens.
