Afternoon Moreton Bay Sailing Tour

4 hours to 1 day

Overview

This half-day sailing trip is a relaxed way to get out on Moreton Bay without needing to organise your own boat or gear. You’ll cruise on a large catamaran through the Moreton Bay Marine Park, with the chance to get involved in the sailing or just stretch out and enjoy the water. Along the way, there’s time for a swim, stand-up paddle boarding if conditions allow, and beach time on a sandy national park island. Antipasto boards and seasonal fruit are served on board, and there are glasses and an iced esky available if you want to bring your own drinks.

Why backpackers love it

It’s a good pick if you want a more laid-back day on the water that still feels a bit special. The BYO drinks setup helps keep costs more reasonable than fully catered cruises, and the mix of sailing, swimming and beach time means you’re not just sitting on a boat the whole afternoon. It also suits travellers staying in Brisbane who want an organised trip with nearby public transport access rather than hiring a car or planning a full island transfer.

What to expect

The tour departs from Raby Bay in Cleveland and runs for around 4.5 hours. Once on board, you’ll sail across the bay on a spacious catamaran, with the option to take the helm and learn some of the basics from the crew. Depending on the conditions, the trip can include a swim stop, use of the stand-up paddle boards, pool noodles and a giant aqua mat, plus time to relax on a sandy beach within a national park island. If you’d rather keep things easy, there’s plenty of space to sit out on the nets and watch the bay go by. Wildlife sightings can include dolphins, turtles, seabirds and dugongs, though of course they’re never guaranteed.
