About OceanUP

Your All-in-One Destination

for Marine Experiences on the Gold Coast

OceanUP was founded with a simple purpose — to help people experience the beauty of the Gold Coast waterways in a way that’s effortless, memorable, and environmentally responsible. We believe that the ocean connects us all, and every cruise we operate is designed to bring people closer to nature, to each other, and to the best of what Queensland has to offer.

With a strong focus on quality, sustainability, and personalised service, OceanUP has quickly become one of the Gold Coast’s most trusted names in eco boat tours, boat hire for functions, and private boat parties.

Our Vision

To redefine marine tourism through experiences that inspire connection — with nature, with community, and with sustainable adventure.

We see the waterways as more than just a backdrop; they’re a living ecosystem that deserves to be protected and enjoyed responsibly. Every
OceanUP experience reflects this belief, combining world-class comfort with environmentally conscious operations.

Our Mission

To make the ocean more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, without compromising its future.

We do this by:

  • Operating low-impact, fuel-efficient vessels that protect marine life and water quality.
  • Designing experiences that highlight the Gold Coast’s natural beauty while minimising environmental footprint.
  • Delivering seamless service through expert crew and personalised itineraries.

Whether you’re joining us for an eco-friendly boat cruise, a private function, or a luxury event charter, you’ll enjoy a premium experience that reflects OceanUP’s values of care, innovation, and connection.

OceanUP operates four distinct vessels, covering every corner of the marine tourism market — from a 300-person party and sightseeing vessel, to a luxury superyacht, fishing charter boat, whale-watching RIB, overnight charter vessel, and small jet boat.
This diverse fleet means we can deliver a tailored experience for every guest, no matter the size or style of event.

From intimate family cruises and romantic sunset tours to large-scale corporate events or private celebrations, OceanUP is building a reputation as the one-stop shop for every type of marine experience on the Gold Coast and across Queensland.
