The iconic Rhythmboat has become a beloved sight along the tranquil waters of the Hastings River.
Mention the Rhythmboat, the playful dolphins, or the ever-charismatic Tom "Cruise Director" i.e. our very own David Lazarus, and you'll find that everyone in the community has either experienced one of our renowned cruises firsthand or knows someone who has, or who eagerly plans to embark on this memorable journey.
Returning customers
What sets Port AdVenture Cruises apart is not just the singular experience of sailing aboard the Rhythmboat, but the enduring relationships we foster with our passengers, who return time and again, often with their loved ones in tow, creating cherished memories and marking special occasions in style.
The unique connection that Port AdVenture Cruises shares with our clients is evident in our unwavering commitment to going above and beyond. Guests interested in hosting a private event aboard the vessel are graciously offered the opportunity to first partake in one of our delightful 2-hour dolphin spotting cruises. This thoughtful gesture not only allows prospective clients to familiarise themselves with our business but also serves as a testament to our confidence in delivering exceptional service and the belief that generosity only strengthens trust and goodwill.
At the end of the day, our warm, friendly and welcoming nature that is uniquely Australian is what keeps clients coming back!
For David, Port AdVenture Cruises has a very simple mission statement. "Customer service! It is important that every passenger on board has a good experience with us, with comfort, good catering, and a relaxed atmosphere.”
Community engagement
Port AdVenture Cruises is deeply committed to community engagement and integration. Each Australia Day, we lend our vessel to Sailability, a charity supporting people with disabilities, to raise funds. We contribute to a charity tin with our tips, and David actively encourages passengers to donate spare change during cruises. Additionally, we collect used cans and bottles from our bar to support Sailability's recycling efforts. These contributions, no matter how small, significantly aid Sailability's fundraising endeavors.
On another occasion, Mayor Peta Pinson requested our vessel for the annual Mayor's Sporting Fund event. Needless to say we felt incredibly honoured, and we even donated one of our cruises as part of the prize pool!
We never turn down charitable or fundraising requests. For David, fundraising is embraced as "FUN-raising," aligning with our desire to make community events enjoyable for all.
