About Spirit of Gold Coast Cruises
Spirit of Gold Coast Cruises is a premium cruise operator based at the Aqua Adventure Centre on Marine Parade in Southport, just five minutes north of Surfers Paradise. The company operates a purpose-built 24-metre power catamaran designed specifically for whale watching, offering some of the most comfortable and stable viewing conditions available on the Gold Coast with 360-degree sightlines from multiple deck levels.
The flagship product is a two-and-a-half-hour whale watching cruise that runs during the annual humpback migration season from June to October, with a 99 percent success rate in spotting whales over 27 consecutive years of operation. Cruises include expert commentary from onboard marine biologists, a complimentary morning tea, and access to a fully licensed bar. A free return-trip guarantee applies on the rare occasion that no whales are sighted. Outside whale season, the vessel is available for private charters, corporate events, and scenic Broadwater cruises.
Spirit of Gold Coast Cruises has built its reputation on reliability, comfort, and the quality of its onboard naturalist commentary. The catamaran's size and stability make it particularly well-suited to families and passengers who may be prone to seasickness, while the professional crew and marine biologist guides ensure every cruise is both entertaining and educational.
