We used the "Red" boat and were extremely satisfied with their service.
It's owned and run by a local family concern.
The "White" boat and most of the accommodation andTouristy stuff in
Strahan is owned and run by an overseas (Malaysian, I think) conglomerate.
I prefer that, as much as possible, any money I spend stays in the local are rather than going into the pockets of an overseas company.

Hi Dean
We have done the
Gordon River cruise 5 times over the years and can thoroughly recommend it. Our last time we also stopped off and landed on
Sarah Island. If they still do this option, them make sure that you do that cruise and it was a another great part of the trip.
Another great cruise that we also have done and was
well worth it was the Pieman River cruise from
Corinna down to the sea. You will learn of how Alexander Pearce a pastry and pie vendor who had the nickname of "The Pieman" became an escaped convict and ate his fellow escaped convicts companions on more than one escape. That is how that River got its name.
Have a great time.
Cheers
Stephen
