Boating for Romance

Boating for Romance

The notion of romance brings about different feelings and emotions for each individual. For some, relaxing with their loved one at home having cheese board and wine is quintessential; for other couples, a day on their tinny, fishing and having a laugh are what light their fire. There are many romantic Gold Coast destinations and hideaways accessible by boat, jet ski or other watercraft to create lasting memories. With romance in mind, here are some ideas to create a unique romantic celebration with your partner.

The Gold Coast offers a multitude of luscious green public parkland. In addition, the Gold Coast offers more canals than Venice. Combine these two attributes and you will find that many of these parklands adjoin our abundance of canals reachable by boat and jet ski. From the relaxing and serene Cascade Gardens in Broadbeach Waters all the way to the Southport Broadwater Parklands, and little shaded beach spots north of Southport, with a view of the Broadwater. You and your soul mate can pack your salads, cheeses, wines and candles, and venture through the river systems or the Broadwater, and access these community parks with greenery and calm. Lay down a cosy rug on your own private al fresco spot, pop a bottle of champagne, and BAM! you have an idealistic escape accessible via your vessel. Of course, Wave Break Island is always a handy option too!

If you have the budget and want to venture out on South Stradbroke, Tipplers or Couran Cove are delightfully dreamy nature spots for you to enjoy. From either a delicious breakfast or lunch at Tipplers Café, or a cosy and sparkling evening dinner at one of the many Couran Cove restaurants, the stress-free and easy accessibility of these two locations for your vessel provide extra bonus points when planning your day away. Booking a romantic dinner at any of the waterfront restaurants and cafes along the city’s waterways, where public berths are available, offer options closer to the city.

Two stunning romantic hotspots accessible by boat or jet ski for southern Gold Coasters are the glorious Tallebudgera and Currumbin Creeks. On days where the surrounding water is crystal clear, the sand is white and the sun is beaming, these places make you feel like you are sitting on any tropical destination the world over. And the good thing is, they are right in our very own Gold Coast backyard. If you and your partner enjoy being active, then activities you can attempt your hand at include stand up paddle boarding or canoeing. Along these creeks are cosy spots to lay down your picnic blanket and soak in the relaxing energy of the flowing waters.

Have no boat or jet ski? Then hire one! You can go on a jet ski adventure, take one of the many romantic canal cruises, or organise sunset and dinner on a gondola. There is nothing stopping you from accessing amazing romantic Gold Coast locations via our creeks, rivers, and the Broadwater. If you have the desire, there will be a way to make you and your partner’s romantic visions come true and create lasting memories.
A boat and water add romance to any day out. The pair joined together create positive vibes, and take us all to a place where the water gives the rider an opportunity to feel free in the open air.
