What to expect
You'll collect the boat and head out onto the calm waters of Pumicestone Passage. The two-hour window gives you time to explore at leisure—motor past the sandbars, find an isolated anchorage, or simply drift and fish. The half-cabin design keeps children shaded and secure up front, whilst adults enjoy open space aft. Water conditions are generally gentle, though you'll need basic boat-handling confidence (no formal licence needed, but some familiarity helps). Bring sunscreen and water.
Good to know
Boarding requires reasonable mobility; the cabin entry isn't suitable for those with significant hip or knee issues. The 15% public holiday surcharge applies. Wear shoes with grip. Not advised if you have serious heart conditions.
