"Holy Ship Restaurant & Bar Environment Dining on a boat already makes the experience feel special. Enjoying seafood while taking in the ocean views creates a unique and memorable atmosphere. With the sea breeze and the gentle movement of the water, it feels completely different from a regular restaurant on land. It’s a wonderful place for celebrations or meaningful moments. Food I ordered the seafood platter, and everything was fresh and enjoyable. Service The staff were warm and attentive. As we were celebrating my birthday, they kindly lent us a lighter for the candles, which made the celebration feel even more complete. Overall I celebrated my birthday here, and it was truly a special and memorable evening. The overall experience was very satisfying Thank you for giving me such an unforgettable birthday A small reminder: since you’re dining on a boat, the floor may gently move with the water. It’s best not to wear high heels for safety and comfort"

"There's just no view like it on the GC. With it's Broadwater views, eating fresh seafood on Holy Ship was an enjoyable and unique dining experience. We were seated upstairs on one of the two actual fishing trawlers. These boats have had some lux upgrades but maintained a very cool seaworthy vibe ! We had great attentive service from Bailey who was absolutely lovely. Don't cruise past the fish tacos or the trawler bugs and prawns. In my son's words "Mum this is officially my new favourite restaurant.... yes it is". So 'Seas the day' & get onboard Holy Ship. You'll love it x"

"Outstanding seafood and service. We had the restaurant's famous "Holy Ship I'll have it All!" and absolutely loved it. The seafood was Super Fresh, Huge portions and the food was artistically arranged on the plate. The restaurant has a lovely setting - you eat on the boat surrounded by water with a cooling breeze and soft music in the background. White wine perfectly complemented the food. On the other visit, we had a "Cheese board" (there are 2 size options in the menu) and it was very nice as well. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was served super fast. It is a real treat to have a meal at this place (although pricy, but the quality of food is outstanding). The place is easy to find - all approaches are clearly signposted. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to pamper themselves."

"Holy ship is right! Happy hour from 3-5pm is amazing! They have the best Margaritas. We ordered oysters Kilpatrick, miso half shell scallops and muscles. All of it was delicious… compliments to the chef. The staff funny and friendly. We watched the sun go down over the water while eating and drinking. Couldn’t have been more perfect. Highly recommend this place!"

"Couldn’t think of a better way to spend Australia Day!!! Water Sun Seafood and Cocktails . Great food (although portion to price needs a little tweak), delicious cocktails (ask for a Pina Margarita! we changed up the Coconut Margarita added ) and Service was amazing!! If you’re looking for a perfect way to enjoy a Gold Coast sunset or just a delicious lunch…get yourself down to Marina Mirage and board the Holy Ship! Best of all they’re dog friendly !!"

"We had a great evening out. The chef was kind enough to change our garlic bread to garlic pizza & it was Sssoooooo good!!! Calamari was spot on as was the bug mornay. Like grilled bug & prawns but prefer these served hot so didnt order them."

"Great little place! Stumbled upon this while staying locally for a few days. We had dinner tonight and the fish was the best I’ve had in a long time! Prawns and salads were perfect too! Highly recommend, if we knew about this place earlier we would have gone more than once. Cheers to the chefs and service was excellent."
