FAQ

Graduation Cruise FAQs

Is the graduation cruise suitable for school leavers and university graduates?
Absolutely! Our graduation cruise is perfect for Year 12 school leavers, university graduates (Bachelor, Masters, PhD), TAFE completions, and any academic milestone. We cater to all age groups — whether you're celebrating finishing high school or completing a professional degree, the private boat experience is perfect for the occasion.
Is the boat completely private for our graduation group?
100% yes. The entire catamaran is exclusively yours — no other passengers, no strangers. Your graduation crew has the whole boat for the full duration. This is a fully private charter, meaning exclusive access to both the open deck and the indoor lounge area throughout your booking.
How many graduates can come on the boat?
Our power catamaran comfortably accommodates up to 38 guests. Whether you have an intimate group of 10 or a large cohort of 35+ graduates, the boat has plenty of space to celebrate in style. Many grad groups bring a mix of graduates and their families — all are welcome!
Can we BYO food and drinks on the graduation cruise?
Yes! BYO food, snacks, and drinks are fully welcome — no corkage fees. We provide glasses, ice, and cooler space onboard. Pop the champagne, bring a graduation cake, set up a grazing board, and celebrate exactly how you want. Decorations, grad caps, and banners are all welcome too!
When is the best time to book a Gold Coast graduation cruise?
Graduation season (November–December) is our busiest time of year. We recommend booking at least 6–8 weeks in advance for weekend dates during peak graduation season. Don't leave it too late — many groups book their grad cruise even before results day! Weekday bookings have more flexibility.
How much does a Gold Coast graduation cruise cost?
Graduation cruise packages start from $1,000 for a 2-hour private charter (up to 38 guests), $1,500 for 3 hours, and $3,000 for a full 6-hour day. All pricing is for the entire boat — not per person — so the more graduates you bring, the better value it becomes. $1,500 ÷ 20 guests = only $75 per person for an unforgettable 3-hour graduation celebration!
