About this experience

More than just a pontoon boat, this is one of the most versatile ways to spend a day on the Gold Coast Broadwater.

With room for up to 12 people total, our landing craft pontoon is ideal for family days, fishing trips, birthdays, island adventures, accessible outings, beach drop-offs and relaxed days on the water with a larger group.

The front landing ramp makes getting on and off the boat easy, giving you direct beach access for stops at the islands or shallow-water locations. It is also a practical option for transporting approved gear such as dirt bikes, buggies, fishing equipment and larger items, subject to Bayside approval, safe loading limits and hire conditions.

Enjoy the comfort of a hot-water shower, flushing toilet, onboard BBQ, full shade coverage and a large, powerful sound system for the ultimate day out on the water.

The layout is designed to be flexible. The front deck seating can be removed on request before your hire, creating a large open space for fishing, extra gear, wheelchairs or a more open entertaining area. Wide front and side access makes this one of Bayside’s most accessible and practical vessels for groups with different needs.
