Customer Reviews
Maria Garcia
I want to give a very special thank you to Charlie. Despite all the inconveniences we had with our reservation, he helped us rearrange everything. We had an amazing day, an incredible family day, and enjoyed ourselves so much. The boat was very clean and comfortable. Thank you for everything, and without a doubt, we will be back.

We had 4 adults and 2 children and our dog on a 10 Seater Salty Kisses. The BBQ Boat was a perfect size, easy to operate and an adequate fishing platform and a great BBQ for to manage the hunger pains for the day. As a group we caught 18 fish with a 65cm Flathead being the prized catch. We were very impressed with Charlie who handled the booking, the pilot out and back from the marina and all the ‘bests spots to catch fish. Thanks again Charlie, a great day had by all.

Had an awesome day out on the water! Maryann was super friendly and helpful from the start—made the whole process really easy. The boat was clean, ran perfectly, and everything was explained clearly before we set off. Such a smooth and fun experience. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! Bonus is that they have a toilet onboard which was super handy with kids.

Boat was fantastic value!Posted on Kerren LangeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charlie is a very gracious and accommodating host. He helped us create a brilliant day of memories out on the water. None of us had any boating experience, yet we motored through river and canals, anchored in different spots to try our hand at fishing even managed to catch a few. My elderly in-laws and wife with wheelchair had no problems accessing the 12 seat rig. Fabulous day!Posted on Tara JeffcoatTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I had a fantastic day cruising the water, stopping on the beach for a play and bbq lunch and did some good fishing. Our boat was clean and spacious and the kids loved every minute of it! The owner Charlie is very friendly and relaxed with an informative briefing and helpful tips for the day. Would recommend for a great day out!Posted on MARY CHOITrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly & professional. BBQ boat travel route was located in beautiful spots along Hope Island canal, Coomera River & near South Stradbroke Island. All our family & friend children enjoyed BBQ & fishing @ Coomera River. There were various species of fishes caught on that day and numbers of huge mud crabs caught truly entertained kids even we didn't dare to touch those angry big mud crabs. Also, big thanks to Charlie. When we had a little issue with motor @ Coomera River bend, a guidance given from Charlie was professional and given advice was truly helpful to make our day. That's when we caught the mud crabs! Contingency boat came to us in timely manner and we continued our adventure. Definitely coming back.Load more
