What a fabulous experience! We absolutely loved our Seafood Lunch Cruise with Coastal Cruises Mooloolaba.
A huge shout-out to Skipper Josh, who was friendly, funny and full of interesting local knowledge. The cruise was beautiful, the seafood was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the whole experience was relaxed from start to finish.
If you're in Mooloolaba, do yourself a favour and book this cruise. Great food, great views and great people. We'll definitely be back!

This was a lovely experience. The directions to the boat were spot on. We were welcomed warmly by Josh. Ellie was attentive with the bar service. We had a beautiful cruise around the waterways of Mooloolaba. Josh pointed out several houses and boats and the stories behind them.The lunch was excellent, nicely cooked and very tastey.

It was good, lovely captain and offsides. Extra for your drinks and if you want to upgrade for the fresh seafood platter it’s $85. When I booked for $75 it being a seafood cruise kinda expected a little more variety. King prawns are the only fresh seafood you can get in the deal and you cruise around looking at the rich peoples houses, nice experience but they could deliver a little better. Al margaritas to come in a low ball glass especially for the men and to serve glasses that are not chipped that’s a no go. I won’t be back or recommend. Sorry guys

Had an absolutely amazing time with Coastal Cruises Mooloolaba. The staff were incredible from start to finish and made the whole experience so enjoyable. The food was unbelievably fresh and delicious, and you could really tell a lot of care went into everything.
The skipper and crew were fantastic, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the local area which made the cruise even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxing, the service was outstanding, and the whole experience exceeded expectations. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great day out — we’ll definitely be back!

A group of 4 from Tasmania. We absolutely loved this cruise, our captain and his wife were fantastic, great humour and well versed in the area. Our lunch of fish and chips were fantastic. This is the second time I have done this cruise in 12 months, will do it again when I am back with a different group of friends.

Shortie, our skipper and Sandra were so friendly. The commentary was really interesting and just enough inbetween enjoying an Aperol and then some fresh Mooloolaba prawns and the best burger we've had in a while.
Shortie also takes a great photo of everyone before the cruise.
We are locals and it was terrific to have some time on the water with Coastal Cruises.

Brilliant day on the water, with fantastic commentary from the skipper, Captain Shorty & his assistant Ella from the UK. If you are staying / living or visiting the Sunshine Coast - you should make this a part of your itinerary. Food was good, drinks were cold & the weather turned it on + the staff as mentioned were brilliant.

Thank you Shorty (who's 6ft 3!) and Sandy. You really did make our mums birthday!

What an amazing experience today. Ollie, our captain and Fozzie, were hilarious, entertaining, and attended to all those on board. Being on my own, they really took great care of me, which I truly appreciated. The food was spectacular, and the drinks were superb. Well done all, and I'll be back again next time.

Despite it being a cloudy day, the seafood luncheon cruise we took today could not have been better. The captain and crew were lovely. Full of fun, stories and a genuine interest in making sure all guests were well cared for.
Our seafood lunch was excellent and the commentary as we explored the canals informative and interesting.
We loved our 90 minutes on board and would definitely do it again. We were particular grateful for the care taken in offering some excellent gluten free options for my wife.

We boarded the Saltwater boat that was over 100 years old.
Enjoyable cruise along the canals for 2 hrs whilst holding a glass of champagne, accommodating staff, live music playing and the sun setting. Highly recommend this cruise.
Midway we received a box each of fruit, 3 crackers, salami, cabana. Just a small snack but enough to finish the night off.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience on the water, look no further than Coastal Cruises! From the moment we stepped aboard, we knew we were in for something special.
Captain Shorty is truly a character — in the best way possible. With a larger-than-life personality, he kept us entertained with stories, jokes, and fascinating local knowledge. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious, making the entire cruise feel more like a fun adventure than just a scenic ride.
And then there’s Sandy, his lovely wife, who added such a warm and personal touch to the whole experience. She was incredibly accommodating, making sure everyone was comfortable, had everything they needed, and felt right at home. Her kindness and attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed.
The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfectly suited for a relaxing day on the water. Whether you’re in it for the sights, the company, or just a peaceful escape, Coastal Cruises delivers all that and more.
