      What a way to spend a day !!!
      Had a wonderful day. The changes to the Pumicestone Padsage actually enhance the experience. Lots of marine life, varying places to stop (beaches, sand bars, in the channel to fish or relax). Booking online was easy & secured our BBQ boat at a very busy time of the year. Staff were very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. It's just a magical area to visit & relax. Thank you Bill's, for a fabulous experience

      Awesome family day out
      It was a great family day out on the water and Gary was excellent to deal with. Adults, teenagers and toddler all had a ball. Caught a lot of fish, had a barbecue and did some swimming. A day creating memories that we will always treasure.

      Great people, perfect family day out
      Bill’s boat hire staff were friendly, good people and clearly very experienced at empowering young adults how to skipper their boats. We had a magnificent morning with our four children aged 19-24yrs. Highly recommend:)

      Daves review
      Briefing on do's & don'ts was excellent. Pay attention as the brief cover's safety and many other things to make your boating experience better. The 11-person boat was in excellent condition and the motor was 1st time every time. Esky was properly sized, however the webber BBQ was just a little on the small size to cook up 11 breakfasts. It did the job but took quite a while. We would certainly recommend Bill's boat hire...give it a go. Almost all of us have not been on one before and it was just a treat. Thanks u Craig & Kellie.

      BIRTHDAY PARTY ON A PONTOON
      A beautiful stretch of water. Our pleasure was greatly enhanced by the friendly and professional service from the crew at Bill's BH. Everything was clearly explained. (I once hired a boat in Ireland. The website assured me, "Full instruction will be given." When we arrived, Paddy asked me if I'd driven a boat before. Told "Yes," he handed me the key and said cheerfully, "Off you go then.") It was NOT like that at Bill's. They gave us a slightly bigger boat than we'd booked, spotlessly clean and everything in good order. Gave us thorough advice on what to do and not do, and a useful map with routes and places of interest marked. We will be back. Enjoyed by the whole family.

      Family boating
      Took my wife, adult sons and 3 year old daughter out for a morning session with Bills Boat Hire and absolutely loved it. They do a fantastic job preparing you for the day with an instructional video and then more tips before you head out on the day. It really is a great way to explore the waterway around Caloundra and Bribie and has everything you need, including a barbie! We came prepared and anchored for a few hours and swam, explored and enjoyed our BBQ on the boat. Highly recommend this unique experience for both locals and visitors. An awesome way to spend the day with family & friends.

      Stunning location! Family of 10 consisting of 4 adults and 6 kids ranging from 15mths to 13yrs. Hired a 10 seater Pontoon BBQ Boat “Cruisa” . Introduction before take off included quick but comprehensive operation & safety talk. Straight up impressed with vessel, plenty of space, luxury comfortable seating. Storage/esky options very good. The on board Weber BBQ was easy to use, a convenient central table, we enjoyed a lovely gourmet sausage sizzle. Operation of the boat was straightforward & uncomplicated. We had the best day, & all aboard agreed it was the highlight of our week in Caloundra.

      Best boat hire ever, thank you Bills Boat Hire
      We had an amazing afternoon cruising, swimming, fishing & enjoying the beauty of Bribie Island & the passage thanks to Bills Boat Hire. Kerrie was awesome giving us all the info we needed for our 1st time skipper. The boat is well set up, clean with plenty of room to move around & the BBQ was a bonus. A great family business with awesome service, this is our 2nd time using Bills Boat Hire & our 3rd is already booked!

      An amazing way to see such a beautiful part of the world! We took out the half cabin boat for 2 hours but needed longer! Kerrie was a pleasure to deal with and we had such a fun time checking out Brunei Island North. Would highly recommend - especially to anyone with kids.

      We hired the half cab boat for three hours. The lovely Kerrie taught us beginners how to drive. Within 10 minutes, she had us all feeling confident. I highly recommend this company.

      Great Customer Service !
      This is a very professional and friendly boat hire service - we have booked before and will again. We had to cancel our trip recently and as we were outside the 48 hour refund policy the refund was swift and straightforward - a sign of great customer service.

      A day to remember! BBQ and Private Island
      What an amazing day, visiting from the UK a boat trip booked to enjoy the bay. We headed over to the tip which was like our own private oasis, enjoying beautiful memories with the little and big ones. To top it off a short walk with my (now) fiancé and a proposal that will never be forgotten and then the chance to celebrate with the family. The glistening waters, the love and laughter, this will be a day I will never forget. We then circled back taking a longer route to soak in the last of the sun and check out Caloundra from the water. Thank you for the most magical day Bills.

    My partner and I hired a boat and explored the beautiful Bribie Island for the day..what a spectacular part of the world!
    So much to see and do in this waterway. We saw Kangaroos and even caught fish for dinner off one of the rods Craig hired us!
    The boat was awesome, super spacious, easy to drive and the service was 10/10. Great little family owned and run business.
    Highly recommend booking in advance and paying Craig and Kerrie a visit your next trip to the Sunshine Coast..beautiful people and country!

    I cannot agree more Matt - it is simply a beautiful location on beautiful country - we are just so stoked that you got to share that with us and explore at your own pace in your own boat in your own time. It is great to take a step back and simply enjoy. Thanks so much for your 5 star review and kind words - it really means alot to us. We do hope you can come back and visit us again next time you visit the Sunny Coast. Big Cheers to you. Craig, Kerrie and the Crew @billsboathire.

    Bill's Boat Hire and Bike Hire is the BEST boat hire service on the Sunshine Coast QLD. They welcome you with a smile, and go out of their way to make your experience extra special. Their boats are clean and reliable and they have access to the most beautiful waterways on the Sunshine Coast. Blue water and white sands of Bribie Island! I will definitely be back to hire again!

    My friend hired a kayak and I took out a SUP. We had a beautiful morning paddling around the passage, including popping over to Bribie and pulling up for a relaxing swim. The 360 degree views you get out on the water are perfection. Thanks Kerrie for taking some pics for us too!

    I have had several friends and family members come for a visit to to the Sunshine Coast and my first point of contact as far as an introduction to the Sunny Coast is always Bill's Boat Hire as we have always enjoyed the scenery and serenity of cruising through the passage and anchoring at the prestigious nature which is Bribie Island. The BBQ Pontoon Boat is 100% a must A++++++
    Craig and Kez are a wealth of knowledge to the area.
