Our Re-Berth

(Pun intended)

Sunshine Coast Afloat is proudly back operating under our original name, with the same much loved vessel Crusader 1, the same experienced crew, and the same unforgettable cruise experiences our guests know and trust.

We now depart from a new berth, behind Fisheries on the Spit, surrounded by the working fishing fleet and showcasing live the history of our famous local maritime industry.

The short walk to the vessel sets the tone beautifully.
The smell of salt air.
The sounds of rigging and engines.
Fishing boats preparing for the day.

Your experience begins before you even step onboard.

Client Testimonials

Lovely evening out to see the Christmas lights. Professional and friendly team who went out of their way to make it a memorable trip for everyone. Boat is beautifully clean and well maintained. Highly recommended.

Lana Watson

We celebrated a 50th Birthday and reunion in the boat. Everything was excellent. We needed to change dates etc and found Paddy extremely accomodating. The team on board the boat were friendly and professional. They made our night run perfectly. We couldnÂ’t have asked for more. Had a great time!!

Jacqui Wilkins

We were absolutely blown away by our experience with them. We booked in with a group of friends and the kids to see the Christmas lights through the canals and it was definitely one for the core memory bank! All the staff were so kind and accomodating and Jess was even able to tame the children’s excitement with her calm and bubbly manner. Thank you so much guys – we will be making this one an annual for sure!
