Always our place to go each time we visit the Sunshine Coast
This was our third sunset dinner cruise with them and we keep loving it. The views, hosts, food and crowd make it a great afternoon to experience it. We will be back as Arnold would say.

A must Do!
Great atmosphere, informative banter about the history and development of the Mooloolaba Marina/River & canals. Josh was great at story telling. His happy, well mannered character really made the day. The seafood lunch was exceptional! It’s a must do activity whilst on the Sunshine Coast. We’ve been 3 times in the last 3 weeks! Highly recommended! And sorry but I wasn’t able to submit my review for the seafood cruise we went on, so I have hopefully done it successfully here
