M.V Princess is getting ready for life after NOVA! Built in 1991, this European style cruiser has done many a lap of the Harbour with us! Peter skippered her down from Brisbane in 2012 and since then she has seen many a wedding, proposal, birthday, anniversary and special event. This socialite has seen it all! We'll definitely miss her and wish whoever takes her on all the best

We are so, so close! NOVA Spirit is a much-welcomed vessel to our fleet and we have been furiously renovating her to ensure an amazing customer experience. Last Friday we inducted the staff and threw them in the deep end with a cruise for just our staff, family and friends the following evening. Needless to say, the staff did amazingly well, the boat is more than comfortable, and we can't wait for summer... cocktails and canapes on the deck will be amazing!

The first thing you feel is the noise. It arrives before the boats do, a deep, savage growl that rolls across the water and seems to vibrate through the hull, your chest and your teeth. Then comes the roar of engines at full throttle, echoing around the lake, followed by the sudden crack of sound as a boat tears past. Conversation becomes almost pointless. Listening to the ongoing commentary of the races, you communicate with grins, gestures and wide eyes.

From the centre of the course, the view is extraordinary. You don't want to miss this amazing experience! Reserve your tickets TODAY! https://novacruises.com.au/our-cruises/superboats-spectator-lunch-cruise/

CHECK... THIS... OUT!! We have listened to our customer's feedback and have made some changes to this cruise offering. Teaming up with our friends at Rover Coaches we have split this experience into two. Cruise from Newcastle to Morpeth and coach back OR Cruise from Morpeth to Newcastle and coach back. There're so many positives to this:
1. This will give you more time in Morpeth to do the Heritage Walk or shopping
2. Doesn't take as long to do this tour
3. Nothing repetitive
4. Easier for those living in Maitland or the Lower Hunter to experience this immersive journey
