Cove Talk to a real person

The week nobody organises anything.

We go where it's good.

A fully crewed catamaran that follows the weather up the east coast, run by watermen first, not waiters, so your family goes where it's good and nobody organises a thing.

  • 2–7 nights
  • Max 8 guests
  • March to November

You've done the polished trip.

Crew in white. Everything perfect. The kids on iPads, someone on a call.

You came home feeling like you'd bought a holiday, not had one.

That's staged. That's all it is.

There's a better week.

Go Where It's Good

Everyone else is stuck in Airlie whether it's blowing 30 knots or not.

Every day is planned around the conditions, not a fixed itinerary.

The boat follows the weather up and down the east coast, March to November.

The skipper checks the weather and picks where to go, so the guests don't have to.

Watermen first, not waiters

The skippers are watermen first, not waiters.

The skipper reads the weather and moves the boat, so the guests don't have to decide anything.

The deckhand/host shows the kids the efoil and wing foil gear and gets them in the water.

Real kit

Most boats have a paddleboard and a sad kayak.

The kit is real: efoil, wing foil gear, a zero jet tender with a sailing rig, paddleboards, kayaks and freediving gear. All of it is included.

The moment a kid gets up on the foil for the first time and screams, that's the whole thing for me.

Nobody organises anything

No drivers, no bookings, no "what are we doing tomorrow."

All inclusive: the skipper, a deckhand/host, food and all the toys. Only premium alcohol is extra.

The week the whole family's a kid on the water.

The fine print

Three things that don't move.

  • If the weather's bad

    The trip gets moved or refunded, never run just to bank it.

  • Eight guests at most

    Eight is the cap, and it doesn't move.

  • No uniforms and no "sir"

    Crew are on the water with the family, not staff in costume.

Price

It's $10,000 a day, AUD.

Skipper, deckhand, food and all the toys are in.

  • 2–7 nights
  • Max 8 guests

Only premium alcohol is extra.
