CHARTER BOAT, WHAT CHARTER BOAT?

Meet Rosie, the ultimate 1960s-vibing charter boat.

With a name like Rosie Boat Charters, what you’re picturing is 100% on the money. Cute as a button, she’s a fully renovated 1960s timber cruiser with comfort and style for dayz. Filling a gap in the GC market for a vintage-vibing full-service charter boat, Rosie is the water-based bestie you’ve always wanted.

Perfect for any occasion, Rosie is a birthday girl/boy’s, hen’s, newly engaged couple’s, fambam gathering’s dreamboat. With capacity for up to 30 passengers and both indoor and outdoor entertainment options, this cool kid is KNOT your average charter boat, packing more personality and charm than you can poke an oar at.

Chill outside on the fully covered deck (#SunSmart), up front for Titanic-esque pics (KOFTW – King of the World for acronym novices), or inside in the insta-awesome red vintage booths. Offering both day and sunset cruises on our beloved Broadwater, Rosie delivers the goods and is more than just a pretty face (but man, #IsShePretty!).

Equipped with barbeque facilities for srsly scrumptious sausage sizzles (Bunnings, eat your heart out), and catering options for those of us who can’t be arsed heading to the butcher, we love the flexibility to choose the food that suits our mood. But before we go on, we feel the need to immediately highlight the fact that she’s BYO and point proven, case closed, thanks for coming, #SOLD.

Boasting a bangin bar, gnarly DJ / muso space (karaoke anyone?!), and a sound system to make Retro’s green with envy, what’s not to love(boat)? Picture festoon lights (happy sigh), modern bathroom facilities (always a b.o.n.u.s.), and legit the friendliest fun-loving crew you ever did meet, just get on board already. They’ll pop your bubbles, mix your cocktails and bring their signature rosiness every day of the week (literally

– Rosie sets sail seven days a week).

Equipped with All.The.Things (glassware, eskies, ice), all you need to bring besides your grog are your panty pants and dancing shoes (and shoe cushions #you’rewelcome). There’s even an inflatable Twister Mat and if you weren’t sold by her swashbuckingly sexy good looks (said in our finest Austin Powers voices), this orta do it.

Setting sail for the first time in December last year, Rosie is the boat baby of Rowan Fletcher and Tamara Briffa. Previously known as Maltby, she was built by Cayzer Boat Builders in Victoria and used as a survey vessel in the waters of

Port Phillip Bay. Taking on the treacherous conditions of the Southern Ocean, she proved time and time again that she’s sturdy AF and built to last. In her new life as a Gold Coast charter boat, she’s already earned a reputation on the Broady as a one-of-a-kind old-skool it-girl #ShowUsYourHyphens.

On a final note, Rosie is feeling all kinds of generous this season with an opening summer special to knock your boardies off #AllAboard. Curious to hear more? SO.ARE.WE!
