High Tea on the Gold Coast

The Gold Coast has become synonymous with luxury high tea experiences. From the opulent chandeliers of Le Jardin at Imperial Hotel to the elevated 77th-floor views at SkyPoint, there's no shortage of places to indulge in the timeless tradition of afternoon tea. But here's what most venues have in common: you're sitting indoors, often in hotel lobbies or dining rooms, surrounded by walls and windows.

At Sun Sailing, we asked ourselves a simple question: what if your high tea could be as breathtaking as the food itself?

What Makes Our High Tea Different? You're on the Water

Imagine this: instead of watching the world go by through floor-to-ceiling windows, you're gliding across the pristine Gold Coast Broadwater. The gentle sea breeze replaces air conditioning. The sound of water lapping against the hull creates your soundtrack. And instead of sharing a busy dining room, you have an entire 38-foot luxury yacht to yourselves.

This is high tea as it was meant to be experienced on the Gold Coast, on the water, under the sky, completely private.

Your Private Yacht, Your Perfect Morning

Our three-hour high tea sailing experience runs from 9am to 12pm, accommodating up to 10 guests on your exclusive charter. Unlike hotel venues where you're seated at a table for 90 minutes, you have the entire morning to relax, explore, and truly savour the experience.

What's Included

Traditional 3-Tier High Tea Service

Our elegant tiered stands arrive laden with freshly prepared delicacies: delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones straight from the oven with jam and cream, and an assortment of petit fours and sweet treats that rival any hotel offering.

Premium Beverages

Choose from curated premium teas, or elevate your experience with complimentary sparkling wine. Unlike many venues that charge $10-20 extra per glass of champagne, ours is included in your charter.

Complete Privacy

This might be the biggest difference. While other venues seat you alongside dozens of other guests in bustling hotel lobbies, your sailing charter is exclusively yours. No sharing tables, no waiting for service, no competing with other parties for attention.

Professional Service

Our experienced crew handles every detail, from navigation to service to capturing photos and videos of your special morning. We share these with you before you even leave the boat.

The Gold Coast Broadwater Setting

The sheltered waters provide smoother comfortable sailing conditions. You'll cruise past waterfront masions, spot dolphins playing in the wake, and see the Gold Coast from perspectives that htoel windows simply cannot provide.

Daily Availability, Easy Booking Unlike many hotel venues that book out weeks in advance (especially for weekends and special occasions), we offer daily availability. Our 9am-12pm time slot means you can enjoy your high tea and still have the rest of your day free.

We're conveniently located on the Gold Coast Broadwater with easy access from Gold Coast, Brisbane, and surrounding areas. Our crew handles all the details, you just arrive, step aboard, and let us take care of everything.

The Sun Sailing Difference

Here's what our guests tell us sets their experience apart:

"We've done high tea at several Gold Coast hotels, but this was something else entirely. Being on the water, having the yacht to ourselves, and watching dolphins while sipping champagne, it's an experience you can't get anywhere else."

"For my 40th birthday, my friends surprised me with this charter. The food was beautiful, but honestly, it was the whole experience that made it unforgettable. We felt like we were on our own private getaway."

"As someone who's organized countless hens parties, I can say this is the most unique and memorable option on the Gold Coast. The bride loved every minute, and the photos are incredible."
