About this space

Step aboard the Crusader 1—a luxury charter boat and one-of-a-kind floating shoot location cruising through the heart of the Sunshine Coast. Framed by glimmering waters, lush greenery, and a rotating backdrop of coastal homes and landscapes, this moving location transforms every moment into a cinematic scene. From fashion and branding to editorial portraiture or golden hour lifestyle content, Cavalier Cruise Boat offers something few other locations can: constantly shifting light, texture, and perspective.

The spacious main deck delivers 360-degree panoramic views and open-air flexibility for a variety of visual styles. The bow is bold and dramatic—perfect for hero portraits or fashion-forward solo shots—while the seating zones lend themselves to candid lifestyle content, relaxed group moments, or product storytelling with an elevated coastal feel.

This boat was built to be photographed. Whether you’re shooting an oceanfront campaign or a romantic editorial, the sea-level vantage, shimmering natural light, and layered backdrops make every frame feel expansive and alive. At golden hour, the experience becomes even more dynamic—with tailored cruise timing designed to match your shoot schedule and lighting needs.

The onboard amenities elevate the experience:
– Fully licensed bar for lifestyle content or crew catering
– Sound system to set the tone or direct models and crew
– Professional crew from Cavalier Cruises to assist with seamless transitions, positioning, and safety
– White walls and open deck space to support clean, editorial framing

Perfect for:
– Fashion & swimwear campaigns
