The drinks were flowing the seafood was awesome🥂🥂 a must do and only takes a small part of your day up.
Cruise was very informative of the local area.
Seafood was lovely and fresh, could have had a little more salad!
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!
Boat was great. Covered so doesn’t matter what weather. Staff super friendly.
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!
Food menu was great and there’s a lot to choose from
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.
Our captain, Meghan, was very informative and knowledgeable of the sights we passed and her shipmate, Ella, was very good at keeping us in drinks!
A great lunch and would recommend anyone to experience it whilst in town.
Meghan and Ella were lovely and chatty, full of information about the area, houses & waterways.
The food was nice, hot, fresh & of lots of it. Delicious.
We would highly recommend.
Fish was yummm
Thank you Shorty (who's 6ft 3!) and Sandy. You really did make our mums birthday!
Highly recommended.
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.
Thank you!
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.
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.
