About Gold Coast Sailing Charters

Gold Coast Sailing Charters is run by skippers who own the two boats at the heart of the business. Serrano is a sailing catamaran for up to 20 guests, and Nevaeh is a 10-metre catamaran for up to 30. Every booking is private, so the group has the whole boat, a crew to run it and a say in how the day goes. Most groups bring their own food and drinks. The catamaran charters supply a BBQ, plates and cutlery, an esky with ice, a Bluetooth sound system, two stand-up paddleboards and a large float mat. Crew will often take over the cooking, leaving guests free to swim or sit in the sun. The usual playground is the Broadwater, with anchor stops around the Spit and Wave Break Island. Hens and bucks parties are the regular trade, and the team also takes birthdays, corporate events, family reunions and surprise parties. A morning at anchor with paddleboards suits one group, while another wants the music up and a dance on the deck. Groups too big for the catamarans have other options. The business also offers motor yachts owned by others, from a 25-guest cruiser up to vessels licensed for 76, and some carry a full bar and a commercial kitchen. Send an enquiry with your date and guest numbers and the team will suggest the right boat.
