Overview
About this vessel
Welcome to the Mooloolaba Canal Cruise! We are a local, family-run business located on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Queensland. The Mooloolaba Canal Cruise has been operating from The Wharf Mooloolaba for over thirty years and is proudly the best and highest rated cruise company in Mooloolaba.
We are moving on and are looking for a new owner to get as much joy out of this historic vessel as we have, and to make a million new friends.
The Vessel
Built in 1963 of oak planking and bunya pine, and originally called the 'John McMaster', our vessel, the M. V. Mudjimba, is a historic timber boat that began her working life as a Brisbane Cross River Ferry, operating from the suburb of Hamilton to the Apollo Street wharf in Bulimba. Her name is inspired by the nearby Mudjimba Island, located just off the Sunshine Coast near Marcoola. For Indigenous locals, Mudjimba Island is also known as 'Old Woman Island', relating to two First Nation Dreamtime stories about the Island and its creation.
One Hour Mooloolaba Canal Cruise
Leave the land behind for a relaxing change of pace, cruising through the calm waters of the Mooloolah River on Mooloolaba's most popular canal cruise. Board your cruise from the Mooloolaba Wharf for a tranquil journey through the heart of Mooloolaba. Step onboard our 1-hour cruise and immerse yourself in our Skipper's live commentary, ensuring you not only see the sights but also learn about the region's rich history and significance.
Mooloolaba Sunset Cruise
Cruise the Mooloolaba waterways aboard the MV Mudjimba as the sun gracefully dips behind the majestic Blackall Mountain Range to the west of Mooloolaba. The cruise begins at The Wharf Mooloolaba, moving towards beautiful Mooloolah Island. Along the way our Skipper regales guests with entertaining commentary, while the glass-fronted waterfront properties reflect the setting sun, creating a mesmerising spectacle.
Private Charters
Celebrate on the water and book your next event on our beautifully refurbished M. V. Mudjimba. Her nautical-themed carpet, upholstery and iconic navy blue and white paint job make our vessel a highly photogenic event space. Whether you are planning a birthday bash, corporate affair, wedding ceremony, or family celebration, our private river cruise charters can be tailored to make your event one to remember.
