The Best Value Per Person on the Water
Here's where the math gets beautiful: bring 12 people and you're looking at around $45-55 per person per night - less than a budget hotel, but you get an entire floating home with 4 cabins (including bunks), full kitchen, expansive deck space, and 50km of pristine Gold Coast waterways to explore. No hotel can touch this value for groups.
See Our Group Rates3-night minimum. Sleeps up to 12 comfortably (sweet spot: 10-12). Price varies by season. Perfect for splitting costs across families.
Large Group Dates Book Fast
As our largest houseboat, Osprey is the first choice for family reunions, milestone birthdays, and big group celebrations. When 12 people need to coordinate calendars, the early planners get the dates that work for everyone. School holidays and long weekends? Book 6-8 weeks ahead or you'll be rescheduling around availability.

This Is What Your Reunion Could Look Like
Picture this: It's Saturday night, you're anchored at your favorite spot, and all 12 of you are on deck. The BBQ's going, someone's telling the story about that time in '03, the kids are fishing off the back, and three different conversations are happening at once. Tomorrow morning, half the crew will sleep in while the early risers make coffee and decide which beach to explore. Monday? Nobody's thinking about Monday. This is what three nights on Osprey with your favourite people feels like - and it's the trip everyone will still be talking about at Christmas.
