Founding Membership · Strictly limited

Private boating.
Without ownership.

Premium boating membership in Melbourne, with Hamilton Island access built into qualifying memberships.

A better way to boat

Your boat. Ready when you are.

Elevated One provides members with access to a professionally managed fleet of premium boats — without the cost, administration and responsibility of ownership. We prepare, maintain, clean and manage the fleet. You arrive and go boating.

01

We own & manage

Premium vessels, professionally maintained, fuelled, cleaned and berthed.

02

You book

Choose your day and your boat in your member portal.

03

You go boating

Arrive at the marina. Your boat is ready. That’s the whole experience.

The fleet

A fleet for different kinds of days.

Melbourne · Day Fleet

Premium 8–9m dayboats

Family days, swimming, lunch on the water and cruising Port Phillip Bay.

Melbourne · Premium Fleet

Larger 10–12m vessels

More space, comfort and capability for longer days and larger groups.

Hamilton Island · Whitsundays

Island dayboats to premium vessels

Whitehaven, island hopping and Whitsundays boating for qualifying memberships.

Built into qualifying memberships

Melbourne membership.

Hamilton Island Hub · January 2027

An island membership,
for people already on the island.

Alongside Melbourne, Elevated One is establishing a separate Hamilton Island Hub — a completely standalone island membership for people whose boating happens in the Whitsundays. No Melbourne membership required. The Hub is planned to open in January 2027, subject to final approvals and licensing.

Island residents

Living on Hamilton Island with a boat on the water whenever you want one — without a berth, a maintenance list or a hull to look after.

Home owners

Your island home comes with boating. Arrive, book, go — and leave the vessel behind when you fly home.

Frequent visitors

Several trips a year to the Whitsundays, each one on the water. Built for repeat visits, not one-off charter.

Island Fleet

Island Hopping Fleet

5.5 – 5.95 metres

Nimble sports boats for reef days, beach drops and island hopping across the Whitsundays — easy to handle and quick to get going.

Island Fleet

Premium+ Fleet

9 – 12 metres

The same class of premium vessels as our Melbourne Premium+ fleet, permitted for Great Barrier Reef Marine Park operation — for longer island days and larger groups.

Three membership levels

Water — Island Hopping Fleet. Elevated — Premium+ Fleet access. Prestige — Premium+ Fleet with more days on the water. Your level is recommended after a private conversation.

Founding intake capped at 45

Island membership is limited by permitted vessels and berthing capacity, not by demand. The founding intake is capped at 45 memberships — 15 at each level — then it closes. Growth beyond that depends on additional permitted vessels.
