Great day 😀

We had a great day out on the pontoon. Easy to follow instructions and map, pontoon was easy use manoeuvre. Plenty of space for everyone. Lots of sightseeing to do as well as fishing. Recommended activity for Cairns.

Would definitely book again.

Had a great time on the pontoon, boat was great , easy to use. Caught some fish, it rained a bit, so the canopy was great. Already making plans to book another trip.

Awesome adventure

These guys go above and beyond, I will definitely be back, not only was this great value, the customer service was 10/10, they also have wheelchair accessible pontoons available for hire, because of this I would give these guys 100/10, more buisnesses should take note of these guys, its great they cater for people with limited mobility, Thanks lots a great day out 😁

Pontoon boat hire

The pontoon boat was perfect for us to to go fishing and crabbing. There was plenty of space, the seats were comfortable and it was easy to control. The staff were really nice and helpful.

Great time on the water

Great time out, caught fish, ate them on the BBQ and had a lovely look at the Cairns estuary/islnd area. I bought a boat after having a ball with the kids so yes, you will enjoy
