About
Here at Boating Planet, getting out in a hire boat for a day on the water doesn’t get any easier! Simply choose from one of our 3 quality hire boats, get a leave pass from the wife and or the boss and book your boat, then meet us at the Newport marina where your boat will be waiting. When your day is over there’s nothing more to do than tie the boat up from where you left and cook your catch or decide what to do for dinner! Up until October 2018 we were a Boab Boats franchise but have now rebranded as Boating Planet – we are still focused on providing the best quality service, and helping you get out and explore our amazing Moreton Bay! All of our hire boats are equipped with up to date electronics, the two larger boats are even equipped with GPS!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We hired a boat from boating planet 3 times by now and loved it every time. The boat is excellent for a day trip to Moreton Island (in the right weather conditions) and the service from Adam was perfect. We live on the canals in Newport, Adam brought the boat to our pontoon one night before the booking date and also picked it up after we were done. Boating couldn’t be easier. The boat itself had everything we needed, and enough space for a family of 5.

The booking was easy to make. The price is fair and cheep if you split it through 5 persons like we did. We had the watersport package too. Worked great. The airwheel we got was brand new. The boat had all it needed on board (safety-kit, lifejackets, etc.). Got great advice where to go and saw really nice places. The boat was clean and in best condition. Onboard there were a bluetooth connection to a really good sound system. Adam was really nice and explained everything in easy english so even a foreign could easy understand. Minimum hire age is 18, but you need an international boat licence. Bond is required but you get it back minus the fuel cost.
It Was a fun day. Would rent again with boab boats if i have the opportunity.
Thanks Michael.

Whenever I'm up this way I always stop here for lunch. Great burgers, fish & chips. Great value for money and a great spot.

Thanks for the review Yvonne! Redcliffe certainly is a great spot to stop in and visit, especially if you're looking for an adventure on the water!
