Value Point

Better Value When You Split It

Here's the math that makes Kea Lea brilliant: split between 12 guests, you're paying less per person than a basic hotel room - but you get an entire floating home with full kitchen, entertainment, and 50km of pristine Gold Coast waterways. No separate accommodation bills. No fighting over restaurant bookings. No cramped hotel breakfast queues. Just your crew, your schedule, your adventure.

See Available Dates

3-night minimum. Price varies by season. All 12 guests sleep comfortably across multiple private cabins.

Large Group Boats Book First

Kea Lea is one of our most sought-after boats for group getaways and celebrations. With only one boat that sleeps 12 this comfortably, dates disappear fast - especially for school holidays, long weekends, and summer. Groups planning reunions or milestone celebrations often book 8-12 weeks ahead. If you've got your crew ready and dates in mind, securing your booking early means no disappointment.

The Reunion Your Crew Deserves

Picture this: All 12 of you together, watching the Gold Coast sunset paint the water gold. Someone's grilling dinner, someone else is telling that story everyone's heard a thousand times (and everyone still laughs). The kids are fishing off the back deck. Tomorrow you'll explore hidden beaches together. This is what Kea Lea makes possible - the kind of trip your group will reference for years. 'Remember when we...' starts here.
