What an amazing experience! We took one of the boats out for Christmas day and spent the day cruising up and down the canals of the Gold Coast. The boat... read more was clean, well designed and so so QUIET! We loved being able to slide along the water down these canals and not disturb anyone with our noise.

The boat was super comfortable with lots of lounge space, tables, fridge and sun shade. Being electric, the boat is really quiet, and being in the canals the water was incredibly calm.

Our skipper was Gordon, who is super chilled and friendly. It was as though we just had another friend along on the cruise.

I did this cruise with some work friends, but am definitely going to take my family back there soon. I can't recommend Duffy Boats enough.

  What a day. Five hours on the most amazing Duffy electric boat. The boat was beautiful, clean and spacious. We'd taken our own food so the ice box and large... read more table just made it so easy to set everything out. Met the owner Gordon who was a brilliant guy. So knowledgeable and gave us directions to check out some famous peoples houses including Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's mansion, Nicole Kidmans new home, Jacky Chan's joint and Clive Palmer's massive joint. We also pulled in at a couple of bars and had a few beers which was nice. The best thing about the whole experience is that anyone can drive the boats. Its so easy and quiet and at one stage, before we knew it, we found ourselves surrounded by a pod of dolphins that stayed with us for a while. I never knew you got dolphins in the Gold Coast Canals. Magic day. Great if you want to see the Gold Coast from a different angle. Thanks also Duffy Boats for the great music mix on the stereo. Brilliant.
