Beach access at Lionel Perry Park's Beach - access to 'Beachcomber' via front access ladder.
Description
Intimate small group Private Charter where up to 12 guests are our VIPs aboard Beachcomber.
Join us for a cruise of the beautiful waterways of the Gold Coast’s Broadwater where we’ll drop anchor at an island location for a spot of swimming, fishing and relaxing. While at anchor guests can also have fun floating on the Aqua Lily Mat which we will tie up alongside ‘Beachcomber’! A fantastic way to spend some time on the beautiful Broadwater!
Adventurous guests who can swim can choose to explore the shore if they wish! – our front access ladder allows access directly from boat to sand.
Guests are welcome to have a casual fish from Beachcomber – we have a couple of rods on board just in case you want to 'wet a line'!

A fun and relaxing day
Our family of 5 (almost 6!) had a great time with Andreas and Cooper. They were so knowledgeable, entertaining and had everything we needed. The boat was open air and plenty of spots to sit and relax after a float in the water. Food platter was fantastic, especially with the extra care taken for our dietary requirements. Thank you for a fantastic day, highly recommend!

Great crew and fun trip
Andreas and crew were very friendly and tailored our trip to our group. The way to South Straddie was beautiful, we went to a private beach and fished. Highly recommended!

Amazing time!
Andreas and cooper were amazing. They allowed us to decide what we wanted to do and made it happen! From fishing, swimming, relaxing, jumping off the top off the top of the boat, chasing dolphins, snorkeling, etc., we did it all! They were personable and got to know us. Great time!

Mums wonderfully send off.
We had an amazing day out with Andreas and Amanda on Beachcomber Charters. We are so glad we chose them to see whales and scatter my mother's ashes. Whales, dolphins, great food. Andreas and Amanda were kind, friendly and professional. They made sure we all, including mum, enjoyed a wonderfully special day on the water for her send off. The boat was well set up and spotless. If I could I would give them a 6 out of 5 star review!! Could not recommend them highly enough.

Great time on the water with Beachcomber Charters
With the weather conditions excellent we chose to spend our day on the water combining whale watching and fishing and it was amazing. Andreas Amanda and Cooper are super friendly and helpful and ensured we enjoyed ourselves with nothing too much trouble. We saw dolphins and heaps of whales had a wonderful lunch and fruit platter and then managed to catch parrot and dolphin fish to top it all off. Absolutely fantastic day and highly recommend.
