boat hire bribie islanD, Sandstone Point
Bribie Beach Shack has hire boats that do not require a boat licence as well as a selection of higher powered boats that do require a boat licence. The boat hire area is in the Pumicestone Passage between the mainland, Sandstone Point, and Bribie Island. The area is classified as a Marine Park, so aside from great fishing, you may see dolphins, turtles and dugongs. We have specific hire boats suitable for crabbing, for fishing, for cruising and for larger groups, our BBQ boat.
Our team at the Bribie Beach Shack will do all the hard work for you - launch and retrieve your hire boat from the white sand just in front of our location in Sandstone Point, Bribie Island.
All safety equipment is provided including lifejackets for children.
As we are in a Marine Park we are unable to allow pets on our boats.

IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE YOU BOOK
Bribie Island hire boats
You don't need a boat licence to hire most of our boats including our large BBQ Pontoon Boat and you can hire for a half or full day. All boat hires are based on an average weight of 1 person = < 75kg (including children).
RMDL Boat Licence is required for our more powerful 15hp, 30hp and 50hp fishing and cruising boats.
Boats can be hired for half days or full days. Half day hires are either in a morning session (pick-up anytime after 6:30am (7:15am for the BBQ Boat) and return by 11:30am) or an afternoon session (pick-up anytime from 11:45am and return by 4pm).
