A unique weekend in the luxury floating apartment "Blue Bayou"… Australia's first luxury apartment holiday afloat. Absolute privacy… 360º water views… 4 bedrooms and modern spacious facilities on one of Surfer's Paradise's most popular houseboats!

3 days 2 nights on "Blue Bayou" includes one night, Friday or Saturday, at Sanctuary Cove Marina berth... then cruise next day with our skipper to an exclusive anchorage on Broadwater… where you'll enjoy two days in Surfers premier location. A bonus bottle of champagne is in the fridge to add to a barbeque you might like to enjoy during the 2/3 hour cruise via the millionaire mansions of Sovereign Point to your anchorage.
Sanctuary Cove is one of Australia's most unique & stunning Marina & Holiday locations. Restaurants of world class cuisine, sophisticated shopping in the up-market village, world class golf courses and right next to the 5 star Hyatt Resort... with private car parking and one of Australia's most stunning "beach" swimming pools...
There is the luxury floating apartment "Blue Bayou" a concept recently featured on Channel 9 "Getaway". Our exclusive and private anchorage on the Broadwater (off Southport & Surfers Paradise) is close by the magnificent Marina Mirage and Versace world class waterfront hotel... So it's location, location, location for your perfect weekend afloat.
You come on board Friday or Saturday afternoon or night... and then your first champagne aboard in the spacious upper deck dining area... Sleep in late… and awake to the lap, lap, lap of luxury prior to a sojourn to Sanctuary Cove's shopping village or a swim in the magnificent Hyatt sandy beach pool.
Let's slip our mooring lines... & welcome popular Scottish skipper "Scotty" aboard... & we're off sailing down the Coomera River to wonderful Broadwater. About midday Scotty comes aboard and whilst you're trying to emulate Jamie Oliver on the barbeque! It's the river and island sights in absolute comfort... Scotty is sailing "Blue Bayou" via the millionaire mansions of Sovereign Island and then up the beaches and coastal views of Broadwater... one of Australia's most beautiful waterways. The trip usually takes about two hours and there. Before you, is the skyline of Surfers Paradise... Our exclusive anchorage couldn't be better located to view the boating & skyline of Surfers.
On arrival at anchorage our skipper leaves in the chase boat & you have complete privacy. Now! You have a myriad of choices! Take out the powered dinghy for some fishing... or a swim in the nearby protected area... explore Surfers canals or run over to Versace luxury hotel or Mariners Cove with all those famous seaside restaurants...
Not only is our anchorage exclusive... but once Scotty has briefed you on "all things boating"... you have absolute privacy on one of the best anchorage spots to be found worldwide... this spot of the Broadwater is "magic"... Calm waters... (except that occasion when some huge Riviera decides to break the 6 knot rule off Mirage!)… In front of you is the backdrop of Surfers skyline… Off to the right is great shopping at Australia Square and the huge enclosed swimming pool and sand off Southport... All this in easy reach with the powered dinghy… But! Even better... just a few minutes away is Marina Mirage and the famous Hotel Versace... with countless waterfront restaurants and up-market shopping... & to your left is Sea World... an absolute must if you've not been there before.
The kitchen on "Blue Bayou" is absolutely modern & spacious... You'll find all "the necessary" to emulate any chef... there's a full size fridge and stove. The equipment and set out are the equivalent of any up-market home kitchen. The modern fridge operates on electricity at the Marina... and then switches over to gas at the anchorage.
