The experience

The Private Day

A private day on Moreton Bay, built entirely around your group. The whole boat, the whole bay, and a captain who knows exactly where to take you.

6 hours Up to 7 guests Departs New Farm or Manly Boat Harbour

There's no fixed route, and that's the point.

The morning you come aboard, Jeremy reads the wind, the tide and the light, and picks the best of the bay for that day.

Some days that's Moreton Island: the great southern sand hills, the Tangalooma Wrecks alive with fish, or Bulwer in the north and its little Castaway Café. Other days the water sends us across to Stradbroke, where the private sand cay of Amity Banks rises out of the bay, and the quiet beach and garden-pub at Amity Point. On the right day, we do both.

Wherever we land, the rhythm is yours: snorkel the clear water, swim from the boat, walk a sandbar that won't be there at high tide, share a French-style lunch in the sun, and watch for the dolphins and turtles Jeremy always seems to know how to find. Far niente is an art, and we're happy to teach it.

Where we leave from

We depart from New Farm or Manly Boat Harbour. Jeremy will recommend the best one based on where we're headed, the tides and the wind, but if one is far easier for you, we'll leave from there.

Guests don't call it a tour. They call it therapy.

Had an absolutely amazing day out at the Tangalooma Wrecks with Captain Jeremy! From the moment we set off, everything was easy, relaxed, and really well organised. Jeremy is super friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable straight away. His boat is sleek, clean, and very smooth on the water, which made the trip across really enjoyable. The wrecks themselves were incredible; crystal clear water, heaps of fish, and just an all-round beautiful spot to explore. Jeremy gave us plenty of time to enjoy it without feeling rushed, and his local knowledge really added to the experience. Merci

We escaped the everyday with a perfect day on Jetemy’s private luxury boat. Jeremy arranged every detail, so everything ran smoothly and we could simply relax. The champagne surprise set a wonderfully indulgent tone from the start. The wildlife was incredible: sharks added a hint of thrill, but dolphins stole the show, swimming alongside the boat and even joining us in the water. It felt like a dream, utterly unforgettable. Jeremy struck the ideal balance between privacy and attentiveness. We had plenty of private moments, yet he was never far when we needed a hand or a quick touch base. The entire experience felt therapeutic—calming, restorative, and deeply rejuvenating. We’re already planning our next Ocean Therapy outing and would highly recommend this to couples seeking a luxurious, serene, and truly memorable escape.

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!
