Eight Hours on the Tweed: A 12‑Person BBQ Boat for Cruising, Swimming and Fishing.
A flat-deck boat, a three‑burner gas BBQ and a 180‑litre esky: the 12 Person BBQ Boat is built for a single, deliberate purpose—an eight‑hour day on the Tweed River where families and groups can cruise, fish, swim and relax together. The operator supplies basic onboard amenities and safety gear while you bring the food, drinks and utensils that shape the day.

What the day feels like
How the Day Unfolds
Expect a relaxed, eight‑hour loop of river time: board, set a course down the Tweed River, find anchorage for fishing or a swim, fire up the gas BBQ and take the esky ashore—or eat on deck—before returning at the end of your hire. The layout and steering console make the boat easy to drive for whoever you appoint as skipper.
