Brisbane's skyline fades behind you. Moreton Bay opens up. And the only agenda is yours.

Jeremy Wolff
When you step aboard Sea La Vie, you're not getting a hired skipper reading from a script. You're getting the owner — a man who left university research to share Moreton Bay with the people who appreciate it most.
With a marine biology background from UQ and over a decade navigating these waters, Jeremy knows where the dolphins feed, where the coral is recovering, and which sandbars emerge at low tide.
What Our Guests Say
“An absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. This was not just a boat trip — it felt like a true luxury, very private escape. Departing from Brisbane (New Farm) towards Moreton Island, everything was beautifully curated, from the comfort of the boat to the attention to detail throughout the day. The atmosphere was both elegant and relaxed, making it easy to fully unwind and enjoy every moment. We were fortunate enough to encounter dolphins along the way, a magical highlight, and the snorkeling experience was simply breathtaking, with the wrecks set in crystal-clear waters and surrounded by stunning marine life. Lunch on a quiet beach was the perfect finishing touch. A truly unforgettable day, delivered with professionalism and care by Jeremy. I highly recommend this experience!”
“Nous avons vécu une expérience absolument inoubliable à Moreton Bay avec le capitaine Jeremy ! Dès le début, tout a été fluide & naturel. Jeremy n’est pas simplement un capitaine, c’est quelqu’un de profondément passionné et ça se ressent dans chaque détail. Son énergie, sa connaissance des lieux et sa manière de partager tout ça rendent l’expérience à la fois unique et très humaine. Les paysages sont incroyables ! Une eau cristalline, une nature brute et cette sensation rare d’être totalement déconnecté du reste du monde. On a vraiment l’impression d’être dans une carte postale. Mais ce qui fait toute la différence, c’est l’ambiance à bord. Jeremy crée quelque chose de simple, détendu & authentique. Aucun stress, aucun timing imposé juste le plaisir de vivre le moment comme on en rêve dans un endroit pareil. Si vous cherchez plus qu’une simple excursion, quelque chose de vrai, de sincère et de mémorable… c’est exactement ça ! On le referait sans hésiter. Merci Jeremy pour ce moment hors du temps !”
“Booked a trip with a couple mates, awesome captain, everything care of, scooba diving, breaky, even fishing! Perfect day trip !”
“We had an absolutely incredible private boat experience in Australia! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and enjoyable, making it easy to fully take in the stunning surroundings. One of the highlights was definitely the food. It was unbelievably delicious and clearly prepared with great care. It added so much to the overall experience and made the trip feel even more special. Our boat driver was fantastic. Not only was he very friendly and professional, but he also knew all the hidden gems in the area. He took us to beautiful, secluded spots that we would never have found on our own. It felt like a truly unique and personal adventure. What made it even more memorable was his knowledge of local wildlife. He showed us where koalas could be found, which was such a special moment. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins along the way, which makes the experience even more magical. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for something special and authentic in Australia!”
“Amazing experience! Jeremy knew exactly where to go and made us discover lovely hidden places. Way better feeling that being on a crowded boat with strangers. Can't recommend enough!”
“I had the most incredible time with Moreton Bay Private Escapes. Jeremy is honestly amazing — you can tell he truly cares about every single detail and makes sure everything runs perfectly. From the moment we arrived, his energy was so positive and welcoming. He’s always attentive, making sure everyone is comfortable and having a great time. The food was also surprisingly delicious way above what you’d expect on a boat experience! What really makes it special is how much effort he puts into creating unique moments. He organizes fun activities, keeps things exciting, and if you come back again, he always has new surprises prepared for you. It never feels repetitive every trip feels special and different. Highly, highly recommend if you’re looking for a memorable and personalized experience in Moreton Bay!”
“I had a unique experience.”
“Une expérience agréable avec un capitaine professionnel et super sympa ! Merci Jeremy pour ce moment inoubliable 🙌🏿”
“Mille fois merci à notre capitaine Jérémy qui nous a fait vivre, dans une joyeuse ambiance et pour nos premières vacances en Australie, une expérience inoubliable ! Passionné de nature, et super professionnel, il nous a fait communiquer avec les dauphins, plonger et vu un incroyable monde sous marin, faire un délicieux pique-nique français sur une île exceptionnellement belle. A ne surtout pas passer à côté !!!”
“A unique experience that I highly recommend! We were warmly welcomed by Jeremy Wolf, the owner of Moreton Bay Private Escapes. More than just a captain, he is a passionate scientist and a lover of aquatic flora and fauna. Thanks to him, we learned a great deal and had the chance to discover unforgettable landscapes and secluded coves, and we swam in an exceptional sea. What wonderful memories! Not to mention a very special and refined brunch, just like our French host, Jeremy, an Australian by adoption. Nothing could be more wonderful than sipping a glass of champagne at sunset in this paradise!!! We can’t wait to go back!”
“This private boat trip really feels premium from beginning to end. It’s a gorgeous way to see Moreton Bay, you get the whole place to yourself, and the service adapts to whatever you want. Honestly, if you’re looking for a memorable day out on the water, I’d absolutely recommend it.”
“J'ai adoré mon séjour, Tres bon tour de bateau skipper tres pro”
“This was my first time visiting Queensland, staying with my dear, longtime Australian friend. We were recommended this boat trip for a wonderful day exploring a wild environment within easy reach. We particularly enjoyed this unique "immersive nature" experience, with an "exploration" feel to it, not just a touristy one. Captain Jeremy is a caring and reassuring skipper. Special mention goes to his attentiveness, kindness, and naturalist knowledge. We were lucky enough to interact with dolphins and see sea turtles. It was marvelous. I highly recommend this adventure; it's safe and suitable for everyone.”
“Jeremy is incredible. He runs an amazing business and makes the whole experience truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing experience! Had the best day out on the water with Captain Jeremy! Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better private trip around Moreton Island. He’s super easygoing, knows all the best spots, and made the whole day feel relaxed and fun. We got to check out some amazing beaches, and just enjoy the vibe without feeling rushed at all. Jeremy made sure everything was taken care of so we could just kick back and enjoy it.”
“Hands down one of the best days we’ve had! Perfect weather, stunning views and such a fun, relaxed atmosphere with friends. It felt really private and special, not crowded or rushed at all and we got to go at our own pace and really take in the beautiful scenery. Jeremy is so friendly and made the whole experience effortless, it was honestly so good and the highlight of my year so far! If you’re thinking about booking, do it! You won’t regret it!”
“We took some clients out on the boat for the day. Everything was very professional; the boat was on time, food was great and Jeremy, the captain knew the area and his stuff. Our clients had a great time, and we cannot thank you enough Jeremy for the amazing experience you provided us all. Definitely doing this again for a work function!”
“Une promenade de rêve pour qui veut se ressourcer et se rafraîchir la tête et voir un bout de l'immensité des côtes australiennes. Jeremy est un bon capitaine qui parle français.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! - what we thought was another boat charter, turned into one of the greatest experiences. Captain Jeremy pulls out all the stops and provides only the best. He is charismatic and passionate about what he does and it shows! Quality food, excellent banter and a great atmosphere.”
