Spirit of Mulgumpin
Luxury Charter Vessel · Brisbane & Gold Coast
A $10 Million Vessel, Two Cities to Call Home
- Spirit of Mulgumpin is a $10 million custom-built tri-level catamaran, designed for smooth sailing and built for the launches, end-of-year celebrations and corporate nights that deserve more than a function room.
- For half the year she treats guests to day trips out to Moreton Island, and owns the Brisbane River by night.
- As whale season rolls in over the cooler months, she heads south to the Gold Coast — yours for exclusive charter once the whales have clocked off for the evening.
- Up to 160 guests across three levels. Limited availability.

Three Decks, One Vessel
Our largest charter vessel, and the one built for looking outward.
Main Deck
Comfortable seating for 105 passengers, with large central bar service, two refreshment refrigeration units keeping drinks close by, and three bathrooms so guests are never far from one. Large windows run the length of the deck, so every passenger can enjoy the iconic views while onboard, seated or on the move.
Mid Deck
Lounge-based seating for 28 passengers, laid out so passengers can enjoy the views whether standing or seated. Also features a second bar, two additional bathrooms, outdoor front-of-vessel seating for 40 passengers, the wheelhouse, and a multifunctional platform that doubles as a lifeguard station during snorkelling tours and a DJ booth on dinner cruises.
Capacity: Seats 15
Roof Deck
An open-air deck accessed via dual stairways from below, offering spacious and secure outdoor seating for 32 passengers alongside generous standing room. It’s the deck for guests who want nothing between them and the view — open sky, sea air, and uninterrupted sightlines in every direction.

Spirit of Elston
A purpose-built dining vessel with a climate-controlled floor below and an open-air sundeck above, low enough to slip beneath the bridges into the Broadwater's canals where the bigger boats can't follow.
Spirit of Migaloo II
A 160-guest vessel with three viewing levels and a fully licensed bar, built for open water and named after the Gold Coast's most famous visitor. Book for a cocktail evening year round, or exclusively yours to cruise up past South Stradbroke Island and Sanctuary Cove in the warmer months of November to May.
Spirit of Mulgumpin
A 160-guest charter vessel working both the Brisbane River and the Gold Coast seaway, built for evening cruising in the city or a full day's exclusive run to Moreton Island or Stradbroke Island.
Hopo I & II
Up to 50 guests per ferry. Book one, or run both side by side for a group of 100. The deck is covered for year round use, with seating for 50. There are no bathrooms onboard, however there are at each available stop. Ideal for shorter events, or for pre-dinner drinks onroute to the final destination.
Kaiala
Our smaller, more intimate vessel — two levels of Broadwater views, a licensed bar and a kiosk aboard. In the warmer months she'll run your group up to Tipplers or Sanctuary Cove; come winter, she's made for sunset drinks on the Broadwater.
Sunset Deck
Almost thirteen metres of west-facing waterfront at Main Beach — the best vantage point on the Broadwater for a sunset, and our only venue on dry land. Your exclusively with a Dinner Cruise charter, or reserve an area for your guests when your boat comes back to moor. Minimum spends apply for exclusive use.
Arro Jet + Sunset Deck Combo
The team day that doesn't need a function room. Half an hour of thrills out on the water, then burgers and beers (or nuggets + chips) at your reserved table on the deck. Up to 50 across two boats.
