Gold Coast New Year's Eve cruises 2026
The Broadwater is calm, sheltered and close to the fireworks, which makes a cruise one of the best ways to see in the new year on the Gold Coast. You can choose an early family cruise for the 8pm show or an adults-only party boat with drinks and canapés for midnight.
