What a day!!!
Dec 2020 • Friends
We hired the Spirit of Gwonda for a 6 hour private charter and all I can say is WOW!! All our guests had an amazing day.
The captain Nick and host Jemma were brilliant and took such great care of us. In the organisation stage Jess was so helpful. We had an Amalfi Coast theme and a lot of specific ideas which she helped us work through safely and meeting Covid requirements.
Can’t recommend them highly enough.

My partner and I spent 2 hours on a sunset cruise and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Staff were so accommodating and took plenty of photos they shared with us later. If you’re looking for a beautiful, relaxing, sunset cruise on the Gold Coast, book a Sailing in Paradise experience and you won’t be disappointed.

The perfect memorial cruise
Jun 2022 • Friends
Last weekend we did a 3 hour memorial cruise on “Oceans” to celebrate my Dad’s life and scatter his ashes.

Mady was fantastic with organising our booking and making sure all of our needs were covered. The boat crew and chef were really friendly and respectful and nothing was too much trouble. They even took discreet photos throughout the day so that all the special moments were recorded. The catering was delicious and there was plenty of food for everyone.

Everything on the day was just perfect and I can’t recommend Sailing in Paradise highly enough. Thank you for making our day so special!

Epic 18th on "The Spirit of Gwonda"
May 2022
We celebrated our sons 18th birthday on The Spirit of Gwonda - it was fantastic. Under the command of cool Captain Josh and Jem the dancing deckhand everyone had the best time. Cruising at twilight with the music pumping with everyone dancing on the front was so much fun. The boat was amazing, with the easy flow of inside to out, it was perfect for the 18 of us. Being able to BYO drinks and food was a huge bonus. A big thank you to Josh, Jem and the team at Sailing in Paradise for making Taj's birthday so epic.

Amazing time with Sailing in Paradise
Dec 2022
We celebrated with our team for Christmas this year with the wonderful staff from Sailing in Paradise. Captain Daniel, Konisha and Chef Brendon were amazing the whole time. The food Brendon prepared was spectacular, he was a wealth of knowledge about different foods and recipes, dietary needs were met and everyone enjoyed every mouthful. Daniel and Konisha were just amazing to host our team. Friendly, knowledgeable, happy to have a chat and make our whole experience fantastic. Even from our first point of contact with Mady, the whole booking and sailing process was seamless and done in the most professional manner. Great customer service from the whole team! Thank you. We will be back!!!

Amazing
Jul 2022 • Family
I celebrated my birthday with my family on Oceans catamaran. From the time we arrived we were made to feel welcome and relaxed. With ages ranging from 1 to 65+ we all had an amazing day with activities like fishing, stand up paddle boarding, beach cricket and of course enjoying a few cold drinks in celebration. The crew were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly recommended.

BEST BOAT TRIP ON THE GC
Feb 2022 • Family
BEST BOAT TRIP ON THE GC!!!! This was a late family Christmas celebration (we originally had to reschedule due to Covid-19 which the admin ladies were very understanding and so accommodating for, thank you!!). Both families had a wide range of ages from 9 - 47 yrs which this trip was incredible for. There were 15 of us and we sailed on Seawind XL which was a perfect size, beautiful, clean, modern catamaran. Our crew channy and jj were awesome! They made sure everyone felt included, ensured there were activities for the younger ones, were friendly, kind, safe and extremely knowledgeable about the boat, sailing and the areas around us. The weather was not ideal but Jj adjusted the trip to ensure we had beach time in the sun, and sailed when it was not too choppy as the it was the kids first time sailing (thank you!!) Channy took some awesome pictures of the day and the lovely office staff had them sent to us in under 24 hours. Thank you so much everyone for going above and beyond to ensure we had a great day! Overall awesome day trip sailing and highly recommend this company!! Awesome staff and will be returning for our annual family Christmas trip.

WOW, thanks so much for your amazing, detailed review! It really means so much to us :) Covid definitely threw some curveballs for everyone with constantly changing restrictions, lockdowns and border closures and we are so delighted we were able to finally welcome you onboard for a great day out on the water with our fantastic crew. It sounds like everyone enjoyed the complimentary beach activities, adults & kiddies alike, as well as a sailing experience too. Our crew love any opportunity to get the sails up wherever possible and get the kids involved if they can :) We look forward to welcoming you back on board for your next family Christmas event!

The best boating experience on the Gold Coast
Sep 2021
A SENSATIONAL EXPERIENCE! We were in the market for a Large Catamaran to do a photoshoot on and we were more than impressed. The staff were friendly and worked hard to accomodate our needs on the day. The vessel itself was very clean and modern with loads of room to move about. We would highly recommend Sailing in Paradise for anyone looking for a hassle free and relaxing boating experience.

Sunset Cruise
Nov 2022 • Family
Our family of 8 adults and 2 toddler went sunset cruise aboard XL We had a great time. The canapés were delicious. Josh and Kaniesha were absolutely wonderful and made our experience so much more enjoyable. Very warm and welcoming hosts who added so much to our evening. Spectacular service. We’d definitely be asking them again if we ever planned another cruise in the future.

A perfect day on the water
Nov 2022
We just had my teenage daughter's birthday party on Spirit of Gwonda. It was wonderful. The boat was spacious, having a toilet a bonus and the guests all loved sitting on the trampolines at the front. The Captain and crew were very accommodating but more importantly safety conscious. It was a very windy day and they managed to find a spot near Wavebreak Island sheltered enough for everyone to have a swim and get to the island. Our day on the sailboat could not have been better, It was quite simply, perfect.
