Your Crew of 8, Your Own Floating Hideaway

Sapphire Lady sleeps 8 across 3 cabins (2 double, 1 bunks) plus a trundle, plus she's got something special—a master cabin that opens right onto the back deck. Wake up, slide the door, and you're on the water.

Better Value Than You Think
Here's the math: split between 8 people, Sapphire Lady costs about the same per person as a decent hotel room. Except you get an entire floating home, your own kitchen, and 50km of pristine Gold Coast waterways. No fighting over the bathroom queue. No complaining about the hotel breakfast. No noise from the room next door.

The Sweet Spot Books Fast
Sapphire Lady hits the sweet spot for most groups—not too big, not too small, well-equipped, and properly affordable. That combo means she books out early, especially for weekends and school holidays. We're not trying to pressure you, just being straight: if you've got specific dates in mind, worth securing them sooner rather than later. Someone's crew is always eyeing the same weekend you are.

Always Reachable
Full support during business hours plus emergency help 24/7. You're never alone on the water—one call and we'll sort whatever comes up.
No-Rush Training
We'll train you properly before you leave the dock. Not a quick handover where you're nodding along pretending you understood. Actual comprehensive training until you're confident. If you can reverse park, you can drive Sapphire Lady.
Your Gold Coast Escape Is Waiting
Picture this: It's 7am and you're the first one awake. You slide open that master cabin door, step straight onto the back deck in your PJs, and make coffee while the water laps against the hull. Later, someone will BBQ on the top deck while your crew argues about which beach to explore next. Tonight, you'll gather on the deck under the stars, laughing about the dolphin that scared the hell out of your mate this afternoon. This is what three days on Sapphire Lady actually feels like. Not a resort. Not a hotel. Your own floating piece of the Gold Coast.
