Hiring a boat in Brisbane can cost between $80/person for a day cruise on a catamaran around Moreton Bay, to well over $2,000 for a private luxury yacht. There are tons of different sizes and styles of boats and yachts you can hire or charter in Brisbane, with options for many budgets and interests. For boaters on a budget, consider booking a kayak hire or tour, or try water sports lessons to get on the water in Brisbane.
Moreton Bay surrounds the coastal city of Brisbane, and it’s home to many great places only accessible by boat. Some of the best boating locations around Brisbane include Moreton Island, the Mud Island wildlife sanctuary, St. Helena Island National Park (check out the historical prison facility, now offering educational tours, and North Stradbroke Island (Straddie), a stretch of land with stunning beaches just across Moreton Bay from the Port of Brisbane.
If you want to host a special event on the water, book a party boat in Brisbane. A boat charter can be the ideal venue for a corporate party, a family gathering, a wedding, an anniversary, a reunion, a birthday party, or any other excuse to get together with people. Book a captained boat charter to take you around the stunning sights of Moreton Bay or the Brisbane River, and enjoy food and drinks onboard as you celebrate. Brisbane is a great city to plan a party on a boat.

Life is made up of moments that are truly hard to forget! My partner provided me with one of the best birthday presents anyone could ever ask for. I was under the impression we would be staying in an air bnb but when we arrived at a luxurious property and the gate drew back, my surprise took a turn and I quickly realised this was not the place I would be staying. The walkway down to the boat made me very giddy indeed as this was not something you experience every day. We were met by Grant and Carolyn all dressed in boating regalia and the tone was quickly set by their wonderful greeting and eagerness to provide a first-class service. This tone didn’t drop an iota throughout the trip. Every single detail was meticulously planned and I felt like I was royalty for the weekend. The Yacht itself was decadent and opulent beyond what thoughts I could muster. My partner and I did not have to worry about anything at all on the yacht as we were waited on hand and foot by these wonderful people. I have worked in hospitality for the majority of my life and I believe my standards have always been high…..these guys blew it out of the water…..and then some. You have the choice to do exactly as you please and they facilitate all that you require. We got to jump from the top of the boat and go swimming, we visited an idyllic isolated island and had a champagne picnic and we were treated to one of the best meals I have ever had and Grant and Carolyn had just themselves to organise such a ridiculously mouth watering meal. Such was the decency and salt of the earth nature of these guys that we asked them to join us for a few drinks in the evening and we had an absolute blast with them. Top shelf spirits and wines were all part of the package and you really did feel like you would never get an experience like this ever again. I can’t speak highly enough of what this trip meant to us and given the opportunity; we will be embarking on such a voyage in the near future. This trip would not have even been close to what it was without the decency, generosity and kindness that the hosts provided all the way through.
What an amazing experience. Captain and crew were very professional and accomodating. Sovereign Lady is truly luxurious and so spacious. Such a wonderful experience to share with our family and friends. Thank you Bill
