\"BLUE BAYOU\" \"APARTMENT AFLOAT\" is the perfect retreat for a romantic weekend...a small intimate wedding..for that holiday break afloat you\'ve been seeking for years...!
We have many families declaring this was the best holiday they\'d enjoyed for years!
************************
A bond of $500 applies to all bookings covering possible damage etc
An Apartment Afloat in Style!...
************************
BLUE BAYOU IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SELF SKIPPERING
We\'ve renovated her as one of the best boats on the Gold Coast...and the way to keep that standard is with our skipper
For cruises and your anchorage bookings our qualified skipper takes the helm..or sits beside you as you try your hand! At the anchorage he gets in the chase boat & you have complete privacy for a holiday afloat!
*************
Many houseboat holidays are offered on \"self-skippering\" basis..You\'ll find these boats are often \"tired\" in appearance & equipment.
We\'ve furnished & equipped \"Blue Bayou\" to a degree of luxury not found generally in Australia...and we offer holidays afloat with our qualified skipper on board whilst sailing to your preffered anchorage...On arrival he briefs you with the equipment and then leaves in the chase boat...giving you absolute privacy
\"Is that a blue or green marker?\"...\"Let\'s not run aground !\"...\"Is that the anchor dragging?\"...
None of these concerns arise on \"Blue Bayou\"
The real joy of cruising is relaxing with the breeze thru your hair...the sparkle of sun on blue water...To assist with the steering & boat running...But!...not to have the concern of boat safety or responsibilty.
So let\'s give you the best of both worlds !...
*************
The advantage of a\"Blue Bayou\" holiday is the ability to relax in privacy...To go for a swim when you feel like it...eat at any time..go off exploring the beaches in the dinghy..and most importantly...Not to have worries about navigation and boat handling.
We\'ll take care of that for you !
Most of us enjoying life afloat want to have a red or a beer or two or three...Having a Skipper aboard solves that.
Next day (or when you choose)...early or late.. he returns and you choose the route to the next mooring or back to the Marina. \"Blue Bayou\"is available either for one week holidays...weekends or mid-week...it\'s your choice!.
HOWEVER!...IF SELF SKIPPERING IS A MUST!
Our associate fleet at Horizon Shores has small & large houseboats nd cruisers..Ask us for a quote!
DO YOU CHOOSE A 2 BEDROOM FLAT OR A FOUR BEDROOM LUXURY HOUSEBOAT FOR THAT NEXT GOLD COAST HOLIDAY?...
SUCCESS OF \"BLUE BAYOU\" is that you\'ve got the best of several \"worlds\"...360 degree water views...Space for your family! We find many clients prefer the Village atmosphere of Sanctuary Cove...great restaurants...clothes and upmarket shopping..close to the theme parks...Your own powered dinghy to go fishing...explore the river and canals...& to top it all...the magnificent sand beach swimming pool right next door to our Marina berth.
IN OTHER WORDS!...A marina holiday is a fun comparison to being cramped up in a huge apartment block!
AND THE DAY CRUISE!...
Our popular skipper Scotty..comes aboard about 9.30 am...casts off the lines & you\'re sailing down the Coomera river via millionaires mansions on Sovereign Island and out onto the magnificent Broadwater..We cruise over to Stradbroke Island wherethe anchor goes down...Ashore for a trek through the island to the surf beach...a swim and then a barbeque aboard in the sunny & shaded upper deck...Then it\'s back via North Coomera..a beautiful remote area and home about 3PM...AND if the kids want to try their \"Skippering skills\" under Scotty\'s watchful eye...That\'s fine!
