Half Cabin Boat Hire for 6 on North Bribie Island

4 Reviews

2 hours

Overview

This is a self-drive boat hire for up to six people on the waterways around North Bribie Island. You get two hours to head out at your own pace, whether you want a relaxed cruise, a bit of fishing, or to pull up near sandbars and quieter beaches. No boat licence is needed, which makes it a straightforward option if you want time on the water without booking a guided tour. Fuel and safety equipment are included.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

This suits travellers who want a small-group day on the water without needing boating experience or paying for a fully guided trip. Splitting the hire cost between a few mates can make it better value, and the self-drive setup means you’re not locked into a fixed sightseeing schedule. It’s also a handy choice if you’re staying around the Sunshine Coast and want something more laid-back than a standard tour.

What to expect

You’ll hire a 6-person half cabin boat and explore the Pumicestone Passage independently. The route is flexible, so you can spend the time cruising, anchoring near sandbars, or looking for a quieter beach spot. The half cabin setup also gives young kids a more sheltered front area. Fishing rods are available to hire if you want to fish. It’s worth knowing the boat may be harder to get in and out of if you have hip or knee issues. Public transport is available nearby, and public holiday bookings incur a 15% surcharge.

What's included
