Rosie’s Story: From Nautical Explorer to Iconic Party Boat

Rosie’s story begins in 1960, when she was crafted from New Zealand Kauri timber by Cayzer Boat Builders. Originally named Maltby, she wasn’t built for parties—she was a survey vessel, navigating Port Phillip Bay and charting underwater channels. Sturdy and built to withstand the unpredictable Southern Ocean, she spent decades exploring before life brought her to calmer waters.

Fast forward to today, and Rosie has been lovingly transformed into the Gold Coast’s most charming private charter boat. Her journey from a working vessel to a boutique party boat experience is a testament to timeless craftsmanship and the art of reinvention.

Rosie’s current owners Tamara and Rowan birthed the idea of a vintage charter boat experience on their home waters of the Gold Coast, as they wandered the canals of Amsterdam during their time working on luxury yacht charters through Europe. Upon returning home to Australia, enjoying a glass of rosé aptly named Rosie, the name for their yet-to-be-found boat was settled. When they laid eyes on her, they knew they’d found their Rosie.

Rosie has been lovingly brought to life with meticulous attention to detail, splashes of vintage luxury, and a personality that shines through in all the little details. You will truly find no other boat like her on the Gold Coast. She makes the perfect venue for special celebrations (and a pretty gorgeous backdrop for the photos you’ll be looking back on for years to come!). She is lovingly referred to by all who know her as…

“The cutest boat that ever did float”
