A must do on the Gold Coast - Brilliant tour of the Gold Coast. Had so much fun with friends. We cruised the Gold Coast for 2 hours while enjoying a fruit platter.
Highly recommended.

Perfect Day on the Water - Such a wonderful few hours out on the water. We originally were going to self drive but last minute were given a skipper (Peter) which was a wonderful surprise. Peters interaction with us all was wonderful, his knowledge of the area superb. Having grown up in the area gave him some more detail into certain properties we went past.
We come upto the GC every year to reunite and catch up old friends and do a different boat trip every year. This one has surpassed them all. Thank you Nitsa for organising a wonderful day for us and an extra big thank you to Peter for being our No. 1 Skipper tfor the day.

Must do cruise! - We just finished our canal cruise with Skipper Gordon. What a treat! He was knowledgeable and accommodating while giving us some of the history of both Duffy and the Gold Coast. This was, by far, the best way to see the canals and the harbor. Incredible!

Wonderful from booking to docking - What a blast!!
From the moment I booked this, the operator was in touch to ensure we had the best possible experience.
I had so many questions and requests and Nitsa was prompt in her responses and beyond accommodating!
On the day - coordinating small children, elderly participants with mobility considerations, special custom catering requests - they had it all under control and made everyone feel equally welcome and included.
Nitsa was our skipper and she was fabulous - we felt safe in her hands, she was fun and knowledgeable about the area we toured.
The experience itself is wonderful.
So much fun, so much to see and well, well worth the time and price.

An enjoyable cruise on the canals - We had a canal cruise with Nitza on New Year’s Eve. It was a lovely way to see Surfers Paradise from a different perspective and Nitza was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide.

Brilliant fun. Not to be missed. - Spent the afternoon with friends on a cruise around the river and canals of the Gold Coast and just so relaxing. Gordon skippered the boat and took us to see all the pads of the rich and famous. Gordon is a lovely guy and made the whole trip a lot of fun. We were lucky enough to see a pod of Dolphins on the way back and Gordon turned around and we spent a bit of extra time just cruising with them. Will definitely be back and of course the weathers beautiful on the Gold Coast so just relax and kick back.

Relaxing! Experience the Gold Coast in Style!! - What an amazing experience and an incredibly relaxing way to see the beautiful Gold Coast! It's a must do for any visitor. We went out on a skippered cruise with for about 4 hours, just cruising up the canals checking out the fabulous homes of the rich and famous. We even had pods of dolphins come right up to our boat as though to say hello.
The boat was super comfortable with lots of lounge space, tables, fridge and sun shade. Being electric, the boat is really quiet, and being in the canals the water was incredibly calm.
Our skipper was Gordon, who is super chilled and friendly. It was as though we just had another friend along on the cruise.
I did this cruise with some work friends, but am definitely going to take my family back there soon. I can't recommend Duffy Boats enough.

Relaxing on the Gold Coast waterways - Our Skippered cruise was fantastic! We booked a two hour cruise that we wish had lasted longer, as our time sailed by too fast. With great views of the million dollar homes of the Gold Coast waterways, and the insightful narrative provided by our Skipper, we sipped our wine and enjoyed a most relaxing cruise. Travelling on the very quiet and comfortable Duffy was so smooth that even the Dolphins popped up to say G'Day. This is definitely a tour worth taking, and we will be sure to take the longer cruise the next time we are back.
