EOFY Celebrations! With the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and end of financial year looming, it is time to consider celebrating! Who does not enjoy a EOFY celebration? This time of year is traditionally one of financial pressure and stressful deadlines, and with the uncertainty of recent lockdowns, the last few months have been a roller coaster ride. So why not reward your staff and recognise the achievements of your company in coming through this crisis. A well deserved “thank you” to your team or clients can involve a cruise on the waters of the Sunshine Coast aboard Crusader One. Forget the traditional EOFY ideas of corporate retreats, Christmas in July dinners, karaoke performances, ten pin bowling or cooking classes. A tailor made cruise to suit your business can be arranged for lunch, twilight or sunset, cruising the Mooloolaba canals. BYO food is the best option while certain restrictions remain, but a fully licensed bar on board can help with the celebrations of individual employees and their milestones. If you are interested in making the EOFY 2020 more memorable, keeping your staff motivated or celebrating your company’s success, consider Sunshine Coast Afloat. If you wish to discuss how we can tailor your trip to suit your ideas and budget, give us a call on 0412 155 814 or email us on – info@sunshinecoastafloat.com.au.

“We had an excellent experience with Sunshine Coast Afloat! Not only would we recommend them to others but we would happily go again. The staff were super helpful and happy to chat and get amongst the people. Great knowledge of fish and awesome enthusiasm! Personally what impressed me the most was the attention to safety and the pride they took in keeping the boat clean”
– Felicity Tripp 2017 (Google Review).
Sunshine Coast Afloat were the winners of the 2014 Sunshine Coast Business Awards, and runners up in 2015! It was a privilege to receive the top prize and realise our efforts and promises were paying off!
We will do everything possible to ensure you will have an amazing time!
A different way to celebrate - no need to worry about how loud your music is or if you are disturbing the neighbours or upsetting anyone. Head out to sea and let your hair down. Scream, yell, laugh & sing as much or as loud as you want while you are out in the Mooloolaba Bay and cruising the coastline. This group celebrated Dannii's 21st and took advantage of all the poles on Crusader 1 to throw in a few dance moves. BYO food and drink or we can arrange food platters for you. Hire the BBQ and have a cook up - it's your choice. As with all our group bookings we can also offer you some great specials for The Wharf Tavern for after your cruise to really make it a full evening of fun, dancing, eating, laughter and drinking.

Visit Sunshine Coast work hard to bring more conferences and events to our region and we were lucky enough to have Maui Motorhomes enjoy our 3 hour Coastline & Canal Cruise the other evening. After being locked behind closed doors for days they were looking forward to being out doors enjoying the surroundings that the Sunshine Coast can offer and what a lovely way to enjoy the evening, cruising the Mooloolaba Bay watching the sunset, enjoying some finger food, a few drinks and great conversations with their colleagues. Everything was catered for so they didn't have to worry about a thing, except bringing their alcohol which, lets face it, is not a chore. All our trips are tailored to suit your needs and we are as adaptable as possible.
