Steves Whale One
Steve’s Whale One is a spectacular vessel that boasts 20 meters of comfort, including a 360-degree observation deck and room for up to 115 guests. The name Steve’s Whale One is as special as the vessel itself. It was named after Steve Irwin’s two children, Bindi Sue and Robert. Bindi said she wanted to call the vessel “Whale One” and Robert said he liked to call it “Steve”. And so it became Steve’s Whale One. The name encapsulates exactly what the vessel is about: Steve’s passion for Australia’s precious marine life and their environment and for enabling guests to have an authentic Australia Zoo experience onboard a luxurious vessel.
Steve’s Whale One aims to provide you with a unique Australia Zoo marine encounter. You will be taken on an adventure of a lifetime along the beautiful coastline of the Sunshine Coast. The luxurious mega vessel is the second vessel to join Irwin’s fleet. Croc One was the first and was personally designed by Steve. Croc One is Australia’s premier extreme adventure and wildlife vessel and boasts 71 feet of the same luxury as Steve’s Whale One. Steve’s Whale One is more than just a spectacular vessel; it is an extraordinary ocean adventure. Onboard Steve’s Whale One, we aim to instill in you the same passion we have for the majestic Humpback Whales, our gorgeous marine life, and their environment.
