Board a private, fully crewed vessel at Raby Bay Jetty in Cleveland and spend seven days cruising the Gold Coast seascape. This liveaboard experience runs from Raby Bay Jetty, Cleveland QLD 4163, and shuttles guests along beaches, river mouths and coastal anchorages toward Surfers Paradise and the wider Gold Coast. For up to six guests, the itinerary balances lazy sunlit mornings, active water-sports sessions and optional onshore excursions to theme parks, shopping precincts and waterfront dining.
The trip’s centerpieces are simple: a roomy sun-drenched bow, uninterrupted ocean views at dawn and dusk, and a compact suite of toys—sea biscuit, paddle boards, a large sea mat, tender for beach drops and optional fishing gear. Days are flexible and tailored by the crew; expect swimming at sheltered anchorages, beach landings from the tender, and late-afternoon cruises timed for sunset along the skyline near Surfers Paradise. Meals are included and geared toward casual BBQs, fresh salads, seasonal fruit and daily snacks, with beer and a couple of bottles of champagne provided—so the onboard vibe is holiday-forward but comfortable.
What makes this liveaboard distinct in the Gold Coast region is the private, small-group format combined with local access. Unlike larger charters that visit fixed harbors, a six-guest maximum lets the crew craft an itinerary that responds to weather, tides and your interests—fishing one morning, a beach picnic the next, or a tender run ashore for dinner and nightlife. The meeting point and service are anchored at Raby Bay Jetty, a practical launching spot east of metropolitan Brisbane but with direct access to Gold Coast waters.
Practical notes: the vessel is not wheelchair accessible and guests should have good mobility. Safety briefings and crew discretion guide all swimming and water sports; life jackets are mandatory for activities like the sea biscuit and paddle boarding. Boarding and disembarkation logistics run through the tender for many beach visits, so pack light and follow crew instructions.
This trip is an attractive option for families, small groups of friends and anyone who prefers a curated, low-hassle coastal adventure: you can go from morning paddle sessions to afternoon theme-park drop-offs and finish with a sunset cocktail on deck. Book from Raby Bay Jetty in Cleveland, plan shore excursions in advance with the crew, and expect panoramic ocean time, flexible daily plans and a private-boat pace that makes seven days feel like a true escape. Bring sun protection, reef-safe sunscreen and quick-dry layers; the crew provides safety gear but personal items make days more comfortable. Whether you’re chasing surf, cast a line or simply reading on the bow, this catered seven-day itinerary delivers a restorative, activity-rich passage along one of Australia’s most visited coasts. Reserve early to lock preferred dates now.
