Say “I Do” on the Water in Mooloolaba

Celebrate your wedding day aboard one of the most distinctive Sunshine Coast wedding venues — a private luxury vessel cruising the waterways of Mooloolaba.

There is something timeless about exchanging vows on the water. The horizon stretches endlessly. The light shimmers. The atmosphere feels elevated, intimate and unforgettable.

Aboard Crusader 1, your wedding becomes more than an event.
It becomes an experience.

A Private Waterfront Wedding Venue Like No Other

Fully licensed and in survey to carry up to 45 guests, Crusader 1 offers spacious open-deck design, uninterrupted views and complete privacy for your celebration.

Unlike traditional venues, you are not confined by walls. Our 55-foot vessel provides a flowing, open layout perfect for:

• Cocktail-style wedding receptions
• Progressive stand-up celebrations

Romance and ambiance are simply built in.

Crusader 1’s open deck layout creates extraordinary versatility.

The bow of the vessel is a favourite for both relaxation and ceremony staging. With luxurious seating and expansive space, it can be transformed into a private Bride & Groom sanctuary — an exceptional location for wedding photography and intimate moments away from the crowd.
