Queensland Cruising Yacht Club

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

I am a lover of chowder meals and found that they served Seafood Chowder so we visited the restaurant on a Friday night for dinner. The chowder was very average, the atmosphere was nice and the service was very average. I would not be returning... again as the chowder was not to my liking. More

Nice venue and food ok but some meals are expensive by lunch standards, particularly the fish and the pork. Limited individual main meal menu options and whilst no issues with food quality it is not value for money. Drink prices are reasonable and staff member... was friendly and helpful. Pleasant outlook over the water and inside dining also offers good views. More

The meal quality was exceptional and presented beautifully. All 4 members of our family experienced delicious choices. Staff were very friendly and meals were served within 15mins of ordering. We will definitely be booking again.

Arrived this Friday at 12.30 for lunch. Ordered a cider, was told barrel needed changing and 2 minutes later that cider had run out. Ok, can happen. Started to order food, of the 3 Specials only one - the curry was available - may be... bad planning? Ordered the seafood marinara - when it arrived it was quantity before quality and should have been renamed squid marinara as 95 % of the seafood was squid !!! No fish,prawns,mussels or scallops. Had a quiet word with the staff and asked them to pass on my comments to the chef. Upon return I was told that the chef uses a seafood portion pack for a dish costing 32 Dollars!!! The ingredients of the pack must have been so small that they became part of the tomato base and could not be identified any longer. This in spite of the fact that the prawn trawlers are based on the creek less than 300 meters from the Club and are selling from the boat. Not sure they need a chef for this kind of cooking. Was offered a free dessert,declined as I would rather have had a decent main course. Not happy. More

Hmmm, being at the club on the water , thought I would try the seafood basket. 1 prawn, 5 calamari, as big as a five cent price, two flathead tails..all deep fried to the max..,.so poor, very disappointing @ top dollar $28.

There is no doubt the Yacht Club is a great venue for a Sunday afternoon drink and relax. However the dining experience has taken a complete change of direction. I recall from older days when the Club boasted their own Chef and restaurant quality food.... The Chef has now been replaced by a microwave and deep fryer and is being prepared by someone who has no knowledge on how to use those two appliances. More

Had to wait 2.15 Hrs for food today, table of 5 & that was 4 ordering Tapas. Staff looked very uncomfortable as we had to ask twice where the meals were. Great spot, but obviously need more catering staff on Sundays

Booked here for lunch with a group of friends. What a great ‘secret’ local spot. Great service & great food. Bar is limited on what they sell, but was ok. We would have liked to see maybe one or 2 cocktails on offer. We loved... qcyc so much, that we are booking our upcoming function here. A very ‘cruisy’ afternoon listening to some music & soaking up some sunshine. More

After a play at the Shorncliffe pier we decided to pop in to the QCYC for dinner and a drink with our children and were very impressed! It's a gorgeous little club with amazing food and helpful service. My Barra was to die for!! Outstanding!... Everyone else had great things to say as well. We decided to sit inside next to the little pot belly fire to keep warm but could still enjoy the marina and boats thought the glass doors. The Yacht Club has older style decor but it was super clean and has a great vibe and is extremely kid friendly! Danny also supplied us with some colouring in paper and crayons for the little ones. We will be recommending to all our friends and family. Thank you for a great night QCYC. Lauren More

This venue is a working yatch club and has gone through positive change over the last 12 months. 12 months ago the food was mediocre and the bar was pretty average. The current Chef, (Scott), has been on board for around 12 months and consistently... delivers high quality, surprising dishes. Via a large outside servery window, you can hear the kitchen working, (this includes positive comments from the Chef to his junior staff), and get a birds eye view of what goes on. The bar has a new manager which is a good thing. Sunset drinks and dinner is just spectacular. More

Well, if you light water and yachts, who wouldn't like the views here. Unpretentious little place, especially outside, you can get dressed up as much as you want, or just come in and site after kayaking (as we did). The food was fantastic, the views... very good, and service was quite good after the initial busy rush. We can't wait to visit again - we love old fashioned places that aren't just all glamour! Will try brekky on a Sunday next! More

Food here was to die for until they changed chefs now it is very mediocre. Food lacks quality and presentation, have given breakfast a couple of go,s since the chef change and the major problem is consistency but when it's bad it's bad.

First I am a Director of the club, however I often pop in for breakfast or dinner and have had many guests over the last few years...fantastic food and with our new chef...the new menu is looking great...it's family friendly and a must do in... Brisbane... More

The food was great and wait could not be more helpful. Very quiet but a glorious day. Would go again.

In Australia, Fathers' Day is on the first Sunday in September. The QCYC, although they displayed no signs whatever for Fathers' Day, and did not welcome dads, at least were open on the day and lunch was available. Well, you have to make a dollar.... I had booked in advance, but found that our party of four had been assigned stools on a high bench, even though I had booked well in advance, low tables with actual chairs were available, and most certainly were when I had booked, and the place was not full on the day, although it was quite well-patronised. The pleasant bar-staff sorted that out fairly quickly, but why did they have to, given that I had been promised a good table? The service staff were very pleasant, and I suspect that all or most were casuals, but the time it took from ordering to delivery of the meals was extraordinarily long, which was entirely down to the kitchen staff. We were told that it may take 45 minutes, but at 70 minutes I approached the bar - where one ordered - and told them that it had been well over an hour. The meals, or 75% of them turned up shortly afterwards. Not a word of apology accompanied them and not a word of explanation as to why there were three only delivered. The apology, which was richly deserved, not from the wait staff but from management and kitchen staff, was not forthcoming. Never. 45 minutes is extremely acceptable, but 80 minutes is absolutely disgraceful. The bar/wait staff were both pleasant and plentiful, but clearly the kitchen staff was inadequate or had decided to ignore the actual restaurant patrons in favour of the many in a large tent outside. My belief is that the kitchen staff made a decision to ignore orders from the real restaurant in favour of those outside in the marquee: we who had booked early (I had booked long before for 12 Noon) and were in the club, were looked after AFTER those in the marquee. In some ways that is reasonable, but 1) we were not told at any point that our orders would not be considered until after all those from the marquee had been prepared, and 2) we were a party of four, just four, so easily ignored. I will never return to this place solely because of the way the restaurant is run. It is difficult to reach, yes, but it is on a very pleasant creek - or really river. I learnt to sail here many years ago when it was much easier to reach. It is a marvellous place for he eyeballs, but sadly a disappointment on so many grounds now. It is most definitely not a place to take your family on Sunday for lunch, unless you're happy to order at 1.07 pm, have three of the four meals delivered at 2.20pm, and the fourth at 2.30pm. Not recommended More

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

9 Things to See in Moscow's Red Square

In most cases, you'll be entering Red Square from the north, passing landmarks such as the Bolshoi Theatre and Duma parliament building as you make your way southward. Although you don't necessarily have to pass through the Voskresensky (or Resurrection in English) Gates in order to gain access to the square these days, they definitely provide a sense of arrival, to say nothing of the way their left arch frame's St. Basil's Cathedral if you look from just the right angle.

An interesting fact is that while a gate of some kind has stood here since the mid-16th century, the one you currently see wasn't built until 1994, having been destroyed in 1931 so that tanks could enter and exit Red Square during military parades.

St. Basil's Cathedral

Few sights are as iconic not only of Moscow and Red Square but indeed of Russia than St. Basil's Cathedral, whose colorful, onion-shaped domes are a symbol of the country around the world. Officially known as the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, this church has stood since 1561, which is quite miraculous when you consider all the turbulent history that has transpired since then.

Among other things, religion was severely prohibited during the Soviet period , which led some to believe that this emblem of the Russian Orthodox church might not withstand the tenure of the USSR. 

An interesting fact is that St. Basil's is the so-called "Kilometer Zero" of Russia; all of Moscow's main roads (which can take you anywhere in Russia) begin at the exits to Red Square. In this way, St. Basil's iconic status also has an extremely tangible element.

The Kremlin

TripSavvy / Christopher Larson

When you think of The Kremlin, it's unlikely that positive images enter your mind. The fact that simply saying the word "Kremlin" is too vague a descriptor (most Russian cities have their own Kremlin complexes; you should say "Moscow Kremlin") notwithstanding, this misunderstood place is incredibly beautiful, even if you don't like the policy that comes out of it.

Senate Square

In spite of its name, which refers to the role the building that rises above the square played during Imperial Russia, Senate Square is actually home to Russia's presidential administration, currently helmed by Vladimir Putin. In order to see where Russia's legislature operates from, walk just outside Red Square to the Duma parliament building.

Dormition Cathedral

Dating back to the year 1479, the gold-domed Dormition Cathedral pays homage to an Orthodox religious feast that commemorates the death of the Virgin Mary . As is the case with St. Basil's, it is curious that such a conspicuously religious structure was able to survive through the Soviet period.

Armoury Chamber

Though it takes its name from the fact that it housed Russia's royal arsenal when it was built in the 16th century, the most notable resident of the Kremlin's Armoury Chamber today is the Russian Diamond Fund.

Notable Kremlin Towers

Robert Schrader

The interior of the Moscow Kremlin is more beautiful and inviting than you'd expect, but the walls and towers that rise around it better live up to the intimidation with which the complex is associated. 

Borovitskaya Tower

Named to commemorate the dense forest that once stood atop the mount where it's built, this tower is extremely picturesque. Built in the late 15th century, it's visible from most places in the square, and also as you walk along the Moskva River.

Nikolskaya Tower

Also built in the year 1491, this tower currently suffered destruction at the hands of Napoleon's army in the 19th century. What you see now is the result of an 1816 re-design and renovation, though artillery fire during the Russian Revolution also caused superficial damage to the tower, named to honor St. Nikolas of Mozhaysk , so it's difficult to know which elements of it are original.

Spasskaya Tower

Known in English as the "Savior's Tower," this iconic, star-topped tower is perhaps the best-known of all the Kremlin's towers. Built in 1491 like the other two towers on this list, it's certainly the most photographed. As a result of its proximity to St. Basil's, it often makes its way into tourists' pictures.

Mausoleum of Lenin

Just as it's strange to learn how many religious monuments survived through the Soviet period, it's a bit odd to think that Lenin's preserved body still sits in a mausoleum just beneath the walls of the Kremlin on Red Square, given the lack of consensus about the ultimate impact of his Revolution, even in Russia.

It's not guaranteed that you'll be able to see the body (which, believe it or not, seems to be improving with age ) when you go, and if you do you will likely have to wait in line, but even strolling past the outside of the Lenin Mausoleum, flanked by stone-faced guards that almost look like statues, illuminates the gravity of his body still being here.

GUM Shopping Center

You might cringe, at least initially, when you realize that one of the most iconic stops on a tour of Red Square is a department store—until you see said department store, that is. Built in 1893 and known during Soviet times as the State Department Store, GUM  ( Glávnyj Universáľnyj Magazín​ or Main Universal Store in English) hearkens back to the grandeur of the late 19th century, both seen from the outside (especially, when lit up at night) and the interior, which might have you feeling like you're further west in Europe.

A trip inside GUM is a particularly good idea during winter, when frigid temperatures outside will have you savoring the heat, the quality of souvenirs, confections and other goods sold inside notwithstanding. Also, make sure not to confuse GUM with CDM, which sits near the Bolshoi Theatre, even though both are stunning and iconic in their own right.

State Historical Museum

The Russian State Historical Museum is located near Voskresensky Gates, though you should wait until after you've seen the first few attractions of Red Square and the Kremlin to head back there and go inside. To be sure, as you pass by its facade (whose late-19th century grandeur somewhat obscures that fact that it's currently a museum accessible to the public) you might not even think to try and gain entry.

Once inside the museum, you can plan to spend at least a couple of hours, given that artifacts here date back to the very beginning of the Russian state in the ninth century. As is the case with GUM, this will be a particularly alluring prospect if you visit in winter, when Moscow is arguably at its most beautiful, but certainly at its least tolerable. 

Minin-Pozharsky Monument

It's somewhat easy to disregard this monument, which pays homage to the two Russian princes who ended the so-called "Time of Troubles" in the mid-16th century, during which Polish-Lithuanian forces occupied Russia, among other awful things including a famine. That's because the statue currently sits just at the base of St. Basil's Cathedral, which makes it very difficult to photograph or even see without being overwhelmed by that much more famous edifice.

Though the statue originally sat at the very center of Red Square, it came to be an obstacle to the movement of tanks during the Soviet period, much like the Voskresensky Gates. As a result, authorities moved it during that time, and it's stayed where you currently find it ever since.

Kazan Cathedral

Taken by itself, the smokey-pink Kazan Cathedral is an architectural marvel; originally built in the 17th century, the church you find here today, located just north of the GUM department store, dates back only to 1993.

Unfortunately, since it sits not only in the shadow of GUM, but also in the shadow St. Basil's and the Towers of the Kremlin, it's easy to miss entirely if you aren't looking. As a result, you might wait until you've seen just about everything else in Red Square before coming here to take photos, and to appreciate the understated beauty of this oft-overlooked cathedral.

Moskva River

As you head south from St. Basil's Cathedral to exit Red Square, make sure to walk onto Bolshoy Moskvoretskiy Bridge, which crosses the Moskva River. If you look due north, you can get an excellent shot of the church framed, on the left, by the towers of the Kremlin. Directing your gaze a bit to the west allows you to see the skyscrapers of Moscow City as they rise above the Kremlin's walls.

Walking westward along the riverbank is also a worthwhile excursion, for the views it provides of Red Square and the Kremlin, as well as the fact that doing so takes you to other iconic Moscow attractions, including Gorky Park and the Pushkin Museum. The views you enjoy from the river and the bridge are particularly stunning at night, though you should make sure you bring a tripod if you want to get a clear picture, given how strong winds over and near the river can be.
