AMAZING! HOLY SHIP is a truly one of a kind dining experience. The fresh seafood is fantastic and the staff are so fun - everyone is so hospitable. The atmosphere is brilliant - Out in the fresh air, eating on the deck of twin ships actually on the water - with all the fish underneath was magical. You can even see dolphins. The cocktails were so good and I loved the cute bathroom with seashell wash basin. The nautical theme runs throughout the ship and I saw they also do a Bottomless brunch on Fridays! I must return. Are you tired of the ordinary? Are you in need of a change of pace that combines great food with great scenery? Do you love seafood? Well, I've got the perfect place for you to visit! Holy Ship is a former prawn trawlers that has been converted ti a lovely seafood restaurant. Maybe I should mention that they do more than seafood for those folks out there who might be turning up their noses. But the star of the menu is definitely the prawns, bugs, oysters, and salmon! And boy-oh-boy... is it fresh! The boats have two levels for seating and the tables are arranged with bench seating to accommodate larger parties. This is an ideal way to cap a busy day at the office or an excellent way to start a night on the town. You can take advantage of their Happy Hour specials on drinks and ½ price oysters - a can't miss! The staff are super friendly, attentive, and they do their best to get your food and drinks to you quickly. This could take longer when they are packed but it is well worth the wait. Holy Ship, we had an excellent time with you guys! Thanks for a treat. My family was pleased. We went for lunch yesterday and shared the seafood platter and added an additional half dozen oysters. The oysters were large, fresh and delicious, the prawns and Moreton bay bugs had that perfect hint of sweetness and the sashimi salmon was a lovely extra touch. The service was incredibly friendly and not overbearing in anyway. It’s such a great location and they definitely don’t disappoint. Perfect spot for a locally sourced, seafood lunch. The drinks served in insulated tumblers was an excellent and appreciated touch to keep your drinks cold too. Thanks for having us, we’ll be back.

Great experience. Somewhere different to dine and drink! Very fun. Long Island iced tea was terrific. A little disappointed to find out the prawns were from Brisbane and not locally but still fresh and nice. Happy hour half price oysters was great

Excellent for really fresh yummy seafood. Lovely atmosphere dinning on the Broadwater in the marina on nicely converted trawlers. Seafood was as fresh as what we have bought direct from the trawlers up the road, without the long queues. Meals were delicious with excellent friendly service. We had lunch and then stayed for the happy hour and enjoy a dozen fresh oysters and wine. Also, staff pointed out what was included in the happy hour menu and made recommendations. Excellent casual dinning and considering how fresh the seafood was, good prices. Plenty of parking in the underground Marina Mirage car park. Will definitely visit again.
