Wonderful experience out on the river. Ollie and Ollie we're excellent hosts for our lunch trip. The seafood was super fresh and there was plenty. Loved hearing about the various properties and history of the area.

The views were great and our food was excellent.
The commentary was funny and engaging and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Great way to spend a 90 min lunchtime. Cruising the river with the captain and his assistant. Quiet, spacious and comfortable dining cabin. Calm waters, even for my non-sea loving husband. The captain’s knowledge of local realestate and characters were very amusing. Lunch was delicious and so fresh from the local catches. Drinks are extra but it’s your choice, served very efficiently with lovely manners. Thank you for such an enjoyable and worthwhile experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our leisurely sunset cruise. The service onboard with Sarah and Gary was quick, efficient, friendly and humerous. I believe we had the best seats on the back deck. We kicked back and had a couple of drinks and shared some Mooloolaba king prawns while we cruised the canals and ventured up to the mouth at Pt Cartwright. It was great seeing part of Mooloolaba from this perspective. The staff led us all in singing Happy Bday to my husband. Highly recommend! Very reasonably priced also.

My partner and I had a great time on the sunset cruise. Staff were lovely, service was great. Very knowledgeable of the history of the river. We were worried it might of felt a bit crowded inside with the amount of people but it was very spacious and you could also go out on the front or back of the boat which made the experience even better.
Thanks! Would definitely do this again

What a great experience. Shorty and Sandy, our crew and hosts were brilliant. Ordered fresh seafood which was collected direct from the wharf 30 mins into the journey along with a few drinks while we watched a beautiful sunset, listened to some good tunes and average crowd singing 😂. A must do experience if you are in Mooloolaba. The views are amazing and unaffordable. Perfect evening.

Thanks guys, for taking my booking, patiently giving me directions & guiding me to your lovely boat. I really enjoyed the cruise & lunch on the water, and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

The crew are great and the drinks are cold. Spend a couple of hours doing something different for lunch and head out on the water to cruise the canal and enjoy a simple seafood lunch while you do.
This is suited to a small group of 4-6 for family or friends as it adds to the atmosphere. Good for couples also as it is something out of the ordinary and for the same price as going to a stationary restaurant. The food was simple but tasty and the drinks were great. Thank you :)

We recently joined Shorty and Sandy for a wonderful Christmas lights cruise as a part of our annual work Christmas party and had the best time! They were incredibly welcoming and fun and our whole team came away saying it was one of our best work parties we've had to date. We definitely recommend this service and hope to hop on board again in the near future ~ Thanks very much from the Massey Online team!

A thoroughly good way to enjoy a really good lunch.
A brilliant trip around the Mooloolaba Marina out to the estuary then back to collect a freshly cooked lunch en-route, then more sight seeing to view the water side homes of the rich and famous.
Thanks to Shorty our brilliant and informative Captain and especially little shorty for her amazing crewing ability in looking after the needs of all the passengers, they were a great team.
You will not be disappointed ????

No messing around with the service, as soon as got on the boat, we had a drink straight away.
Shorty is very knowledgeable of the area.
The fish, calamari and chips we had for lunch were up there with the best ????
Caroline even held a young mother's baby so Mum could eat her lunch.
Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks for the day.

Highly recommend going on a cruise with the captain & his lovely wife!
It was very affordable for our family of 5 and was seated comfortably without being overcrowded.
We picked up our yummy food of oysters, fish & nuggets fresh on the way.
Best 90mins!!

This was our favourite event on our Mooloolaba holiday. With incredible hosts, Captain Shorty and Sandy we enjoyed a beautiful seafood platter on the harbour. To our delight, the seafood was picked up fresh and we enjoyed the sights with a pairing bottle of white wine.
We would highly recommend this cruise to any and all who enjoy being on the water with the luxuries of fresh seafood and wine.

Had a wonderful experience with Coastal Cruises @ Mooloolaba today... Lunch time seafood Cruise. Captain Shortly and First Mate (his lovely wife) are a great team... Very friendly, accommodating and great service. Lunch was included coming from a local business near where the trawlers are , very tasty and fresh... good menu to choose from. We have lived on the coast for 3 years and now fully appreciate the waterways around Mooloolaba... should have done it years ago. Will be back as soon as we have visitors stay with us. Thank you Coastal Cruise team... Much appreciated
