The boat motored away slowly onto our trip in the Broadwater canals. After about 2 hrs the toilets stopped working and an emergency stop occurred to allow pumping of the tanks. 25-30 minutes later We got running again with little disruption as it was a Christmas party with drinks and chat flowing, then we noticed the toilets not working again within 30 minutes of the unscheduled stop. Unfortunately/fortunately we arrived back at the dock 35 minutes early and most were ready to depart.
I hope others do not have this bad experience as it was what could have been a very memorable night in different circumstances.
The whale watching tour itself was quite a disappointment too. For someone that claims luxury tours it was anything but. The cold instant coffee and hot chocolate you are offered is basically flavoured water its so weak. The toilets were tiny and not very clean. We did see a whale.
Would not recommend giving this business a dime when there are other better options literally next door.
The boat itself was super spacious and clean, plenty of space to move around to different parts of the boat. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!!
The staff was fantastic — super friendly and full of fascinating information about the whales and their behavior. Their passion really added to the experience.
Truly a beautiful, awe-inspiring day on the water. Highly recommend!
We had the most amazing whale watching trip this morning! From start to finish, everything was perfect. We saw so many whales— tail slapping, and cruising right near the boat. It was such a breathtaking sight to witness them in their natural habitat.
The staff were fantastic—so friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They shared so many interesting facts about the whales and the local area, which made the whole experience even more special.
It was honestly one of the best things we've ever done, and we’ll definitely be going again. Highly recommend this tour to anyone—an unforgettable experience! 🐋💙
Poor planning on boattime's part cost us money, and no trip, confusing communication.
Yikes!
I don't recommend them.
Try Surfer's Paradise River Cruises instead.
We booked a trip (for 4 adults) with them in the morning, online, and you make the payment online when booking.
In the afternoon Boattime Yacht Charters called and cancelled the trip.
Later that they they sent us a reminder text confirming the trip was on - so we were driving there, trying to reach them to find out what was happening. Is the trip on or is it off.
We were almost at the dock when we heard back confiming it was cancelled.
They should have shut down their booking slot the night before if it looked like they didn't have enough people to meet their quota.
Instead of cancelling the credit card charge they do a reimbursement.
Anyone usingin a credit card from overseas knows that the credit card company charges different exchange rates for charges than they do for reimbursements. So we lost money on that.
I made my reservation at 5:14 PM on 28/09/2024, but apparently, they told me emails were sent to guests at 4:11 PM that same day. Were those who booked after that time even notified of any updates? To make matters worse, I received a reminder at 7:29 AM on 29/09/2024 for an 8:30 AM boarding, despite the cancellation. Why send a reminder if the event is canceled? I emailed to question these and they just stopped replying.
Never imagined i would see so many whales and even a pod of Dolphin!
Excellent service, friendly and knowledgeable staff on board as well, made us feel welcome and always answered any questions we had during our tour.
The price of the photos was also very reasonable and the pro photographer got a better shot than I did
It was a bit choppy coming back in but definitely worth it.
If you want a reliable enjoyable whale watching experience we'd recommend going on the cruise from Seaworld - very professional and organised!
But I did climb the Q1 tower which was a lot higher..
