Pelicans and platters - My sister and I had such a lovely time on our charter. We saw the pelicans feed, had a lovely swim, snacked on a platter expertly prepared by Andreas and had drinks on the boat which was really neat and had all things anyone might need during a 3 hour trip. Andreas and Cooper were super friendly and well equipped with fun facts about the GC. Great music choices as well. 10000% recommend!

In our opinion, if you want the best way to see the amazing Gold Coast Broadwater; then seek out Beachcomber Charters, especiall - We had a fantastic time with Beachcomber, Amanda and Andreas are exceptional hosts. We so enjoyed the Pelican feeding, then off to Wave Break Island, where we snorkeled in the 28C temperature Broadwater with the tropical fish. We can highly recommend Beachcomber Charters.

Highly recommended! - We were lucky enough to have the boat to ourselves, so we had our every need catered for! We had glasses topped up with Prosecco, platters out when we wanted them, a convenient swim off the side of the boat with the float mat and extra towels and sunscreen as well. Amanda and Andreas were very friendly and it was easy to spend a few lazy hours in the afternoon on and off the boat. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend this company/trip - Had an excellent experience on this trip with Beachcomber Charters. We had 3 adults and two kids. I would highly recommend. 1) The crew (Andreas, Amanda & Cooper) were very friendly, professional/safe and entertaining, 2) The boat was excellent (inc good group size), 3) The itinerary/length of trip was good, 4) The picnic basket was really good and the crew were generous with drinks/snacks. Overall, a great day out and good value for money. Look forward to booking with them again in 2024 for one of their other trips.
