Nestled between Brisbane and the Sunshine coast, the award winning Bribie Beach Shack adjacent to Bribie Island is set on 2 kilometres of white sandy beach in a purpose built facility. Licensed for over 40 different vessels, Bribie Beach Shack offers the best price BBQ boats and Fishing boats that do not require a boat license, as well as a selection of higher powered boats that do require a boat license for hire charter rental. The Beach Shack boat operational area in the Pumicestone Passage between the mainland at Sandstone Point and Bribie Island offers the largest range of any operator with a 30 kilometre round trip area for unlicensed vessel operators and over 50 kilometres for those with a boat license. The area is classified as a Marine Park, so aside from great fishing, you may see dolphins, turtles and dugongs. We also have specific hire boats suitable for crabbing, for fishing, for cruising, and for larger groups our BBQ boat hire.
Our team at the Bribie Beach Shack will do all the hard work for you - launch and retrieve your hire boat from the boat ramp just in front of our location in Sandstone Point, Bribie Island.
All safety equipment is provided including lifejackets for children older than 12 months.
We are located in a Marine Park, so are unable to allow pets on our boats.
As we need to arrange staff for your vessel preparation, launch, retrieval, payment for the boat hires are non-refundable for change of mind within 24 hours of departure time. Outside of the 24 hours of departure time and with prior notice and arrangement, we can easily move your booking to any other date within a generous 12 month period from your original booking date. If the booking is still not used within this 12 month timeline and no correspondence exists from the original booking party within the 12 month period from the original booking date requesting a further new date, then any fees paid will be forfeited and all bookings cancelled.
A failure to show for your booking within 1 hour after the agreed pick-up time, with no prior notification (email, Phone call, txt etc) or reasoning, will be classified as a no-show and result in immediate cancellation of the hire and loss of all payments as the vessel hire is deemed a total loss and cannot be re-hired on that day for that time slot.
Boat hire cancellations on our part will only be if the wind is outside of the vessel operating parameters or if we deem the weather unsafe. In this instance, we will work with you to either reschedule your booking within the next 12 months, or provide a refund.
Bribie Beach Shack also sells Promotional vouchers for all of their services, please note that as prices can change and boats do change, the vouchers have an expiration date being either 6 months or 12 months from the date of purchase, giving you plenty of time to use. The expiration date will be written on the Voucher and agreed at the time of sale with the purchaser. If you have any issues in meeting the expiration date for whatever reason, as long as you write to us prior to the original voucher expiration date, we will contact you in return and the promotional voucher may be extended upto a further 3 months, at the discretion of Bribie Beach Shack

TACKLEBOX. Where we connect you to live weather, tides, fishing maps and guides.

Maps are supplied in all boats to give you the best chance of catching fish in the Pumicestone Passage, Bribie Island. This map shows the hire area for customers who do not have a boat license. RMDL boats have a larger hire area which extends to Mission Point to the North and Red Beach to the South, weather permitting.

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, 20hp, 30hp, 50hp & 70hp 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 from 7am (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).
Bookings Essential.
The hire area is within the Pumicestone Passage, Sandstone Point and Bribie Island.
To make your booking with us you will need:
and if you are hiring our 15hp, 20hp, 30hp and 50hp boats the skipper will require:
At the time of booking, we will require payment for the boat hire, or you can book online via our website.
On the day of your hire, simply come to the Bribie Beach Shack at your booked time. After a safety and local fishing brief, the boat / watercraft will be launched for you from one of the many boat ramps.
At the end of your hire period, simply return the boat to the beach area near the boat ramp at the Bribie Beach Shack where we will take care of it from there.
Crab pots and cast nets can only be used on our crabbing boats which have a casting deck.
As per Australian Marine Safety requirements, children under 12 months (1 year old) are not recommended to travel on any boats or watercraft unless absolutely necessary or in the event of an emergency; therefore, children under the age of 12 months are not permitted on any of the Beach Shack vessels.
All children over 12 months and up to and including 12 years of age must wear the lifejacket provided.
The skipper of each boat hire must be a minimum of 18 years of age.
As we are in a designated marine park and also launch from a no-dog beach, sorry, no pets are allowed on any of our boats or watercraft.
Due to both space and safety reasons, surf boards or other finned boards are not permitted to be carried on any of the Beach Shack vessels. Also, as towing is prohibited and for space reasons no inflatable 'donut' or similar apparatus are permitted onboard.
Due to the volume of fuel onboard and the fact that fuel vapour is heavier than air and can linger in a boat hull, all of the Beach Shack boats are strict 'No Smoking' vessels
All our hire boats have shade canopies and appropriate safety equipment including life jackets, fire extinguisher, 'V' Sheet and more.
Many of our boats have fish finders / sounders. See BOAT PHOTOS & DETAILS.
Our 30hp, 50hp and 70hp boats have the full range of necessary safety equipment for their extended range of travel.
We provide maps and guidelines suitable for each option of boat hire according to the hire range and engine capacity. Please also visit our TACKLEBOX page with direct links to live weather, wind and tides as well as recreational fishing guides and maps.
