Our Lake Macquarie cruises offer you the perfect way to explore this beautiful waterway, with our friendly crew sharing their deep knowledge of the lake's secret spots and hidden gems.

From our luxury boat’s alfresco sun deck, spot wildlife on the water or on land, or relax on the foredeck as we glide past the lake's most stunning vistas. With newly refurbished features and modern furnishings throughout our vessel, every moment aboard promises comfort and style.

Discover Lake Macquarie’s Hidden Treasures

We offer a range different experiences, all with their own special touches to make each expedition unforgettable. Our most popular experiences are:

Private Yacht Charter Options: Our private charter options cater to intimate groups seeking an extraordinary experience. Whether you’re celebrating birthday parties, planning corporate events, or simply gathering friends and family for an unforgettable day, our luxury yacht accommodates your vision perfectly.

Romantic Indulgence: The only experience on the Australian Eastern seaboard where couples can stay unaccompanied on board a luxury yacht overnight. You will have exclusive use of our 40ft French yacht overnight, anchored in a secluded location. You will be treated to gourmet food prepared especially to your taste, including a three course dinner, before stargazing from the hammock on the bow, or the hatch above your bed. Wake to the sound of lapping water and birdsong before the hosts return and sail you home.

Morning & Sunset Experiences: There’s no better way to start or end your day than aboard our luxury yacht as the world wakes, or the sun sets over Lake Macquarie. Our cruises showcase why this is one of Australia's most beautiful waterways, with golden light dancing across the water as you enjoy locally sourced food and beverages.
