An Introduction

The Gold Coast attracts visitors from all over the world but few ever realise the extent of local navigable waterways with over 180 km's of rivers and estuaries - an area of diverse scenery awaiting your exploration.

The Economy Factor

Accommodating the whole family economically in 'motel style' comfort, Houseboating is a popular means of family holiday with residents of South East Queensland making up the majority of hirers.

Young and old can enjoy the pleasures of boating in comfort and safety whilst indulging in individual pastimes such as fishing, swimming, para-flying, bungy jumping, exploring islands, sunbaking, shopping, visiting Sanctuary Cove, SeaWorld & Dreamworld or any of the myriad of pursuits this region has to offer.

Simple, Safe, No Experience Necessary!

Paradise Houseboats provide a full briefing on operation and navigation prior to departure so that even a 'non boatie' may set off with confidence. Our clients ages range from 18 to over 80 and recently included a group of adventure seeking ladies in their late 70's who 'knitted' their way around Russell Island with ease.

The 180 km's of waterways between Surfers Paradise and Brisbane which comprises our 'smooth water' survey area is very protected and sheltered anchorage's can be found to suit all weather conditions. Simple charts, back-up operating manuals, and 2-way radio contact makes for a relaxed and carefree holiday.

Modern, Fully Equipped

Our vessels are equipped with all necessary equipment, pots pans, cutlery, utensils and most linen. For interstate and overseas visitors we provide full linen hire.
A dinghy is provided and may be supplied with an outboard motor at small additional cost - recommended for a family group wishing to spend time ashore at Surfers Paradise, Southport, SeaWorld or Runaway Bay. Crab pots, fishing rods and tackle can be hired and we sell bait and ice on the marina.
