About Holy Ship Restaurant & Bar

Berthed at Marina Mirage, this converted prawn trawler serves fresh ocean catch right on the water. Grab a bench on the open deck, where the boat sways gently while you sip cold drinks and take in the marina. Regulars drop in for the late-afternoon happy hour—half-price oysters and frosty margaritas as the sun sets across the Broadwater. Platters come stacked with king prawns, salmon sashimi, and Moreton Bay bugs; once you finish peeling, staff show you how to toss the leftover shells over the gunwale to feed the schools of fish circling below.

  • Dining on the Trawler: Two deck levels on a restored trawler offering open-air seating directly on the marina water.
  • Sunset Oyster Happy Hour: Afternoons feature discounted fresh oysters and cocktails as the sun sets over the Broadwater.
  • Marina Fish Feeding: Guests toss leftover prawn and bug shells straight over the side to hungry schools of fish.
