Set Sail Cruises is a boutique charter operator based in Minyama, Queensland, offering curated small-boat experiences around the Mooloolaba waterways. Operating a 35-foot Tasman Catamaran, the company runs scheduled themed cruises and private charters designed for social groups, couples, and celebrations. The Blue Water Jazz Club with Girl Friday is a signature two-hour Sunset Jazz Cruise featuring a four-piece band, live jazz on an open-air deck and coastal sunset views. For private events, Set Sail Cruises offers fully customizable private charters on the same 35-foot Tasman Catamaran, allowing guests to cruise the Mooloolaba canals or sail offshore. Private charters include BYO options, spacious amenities on board and a high-quality sound system suitable for playlists or live performance.
The operation emphasizes clear booking details, personalized itineraries and attentive on-deck service to create memorable outings for small groups. Guests can expect an intimate vessel layout with open deck areas that support socializing and sightlines to coastal scenery. Sailing routes cover protected canal passages as well as nearby offshore waters when conditions permit. As a local Minyama operator, Set Sail Cruises works within regional boating regulations and coordinates departures from Mooloolaba-area launch points.
Whether booking the sunset jazz cruise for a special evening or arranging a private charter for a party, Set Sail Cruises provides focused, locally based experiences on a 35-foot Tasman Catamaran tailored to group preferences. Bookings are available online with flexible scheduling; crew members provide local route knowledge and on-board hospitality to enhance each cruise experience for families and groups.
