Local tip
Check availability before setting out, as Holy Ship accepts both reservations and walk-ons.

Holy Ship Restaurant & Bar brings casual waterfront dining to the Marina Mirage berths at Main Beach. Set aboard two refurbished timber trawlers, Austral Eagle and FV Havana, the venue offers a boat-based setting with views across the Broadwater and the surrounding marina.

The menu has a seafood focus, with fresh produce sourced from local Gold Coast trawlers alongside meat dishes and vegetarian plates. Oysters, prawns, bugs and grilled fish feature among the sea-inspired choices, while pizza and other approachable options make the menu suitable for different appetites. The venue also caters for diners seeking plant-based choices through its vegetarian selection.

A full-service bar complements the food with cocktails and a wine list, creating a relaxed setting for an afternoon meal, evening drinks or a longer dinner by the water. The atmosphere is informal and social, with the trawler setting adding character without moving away from the easygoing style of a marina restaurant.

Holy Ship suits casual dining, seafood-focused meals and gatherings where the setting matters as much as the food. The Broadwater outlook provides a calm backdrop for catching up with friends, while the boat-based layout gives the venue a clear connection to Main Beach’s marina surroundings. Celebrations and functions are also part of the venue’s offering, making it an option for larger occasions as well as everyday meals.

Bookings and walk-ons are welcomed, allowing diners to plan ahead or call in while exploring Marina Mirage and the nearby waterfront. The restaurant is located at Berths C7-C8 on Seaworld Drive, with the dining experience centred on the moored trawlers rather than a conventional indoor restaurant room.
