Looking for a family-friendly New Year’s Eve cruise in Mooloolaba that allows everyone to celebrate — including the kids?
Our Early New Year’s Eve Private Cruise is designed specifically around the Sunshine Coast’s 8:30PM fireworks display, giving families the opportunity to enjoy a premium waterfront celebration without the late-night exhaustion.
It’s New Year’s Eve — refined, relaxed, and perfectly timed.
A Safe, Spacious & Private Celebration for Families
Instead of navigating crowded foreshore events with children, step aboard your own private 55-foot vessel, Crusader 1, and enjoy a calm, secure and elevated environment on the water.
Cruise the protected waters of the Mooloolaba River and canals, with the option — guest numbers as we approach the early fireworks show.
For families, this means:
New Year’s Eve doesn’t have to mean midnight.
This cruise allows children to experience the magic of fireworks, celebration music and festive energy — all at a sensible hour. Parents can relax knowing there’s no late-night traffic chaos, no overcrowded public areas, and no stress navigating large crowds with young families.
You enjoy the celebration.
They enjoy the excitement.
Everyone is home at a reasonable hour.
Elevated Yet Relaxed
While this is a family-oriented New Year’s Eve cruise, luxury remains central.

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.

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!
