From Clontarf you can tow a fully equipped 4.2m Quintrex to a chain of coastal waterways — Moreton Bay, the Noosa River and nearby passages — for multi‑day, self‑guided exploration and fishing. Coastal Boat Hire outfits the boats with lifejackets, an electric trolling motor and sounder/GPS, and provides an induction and safety briefing before you cast off.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A compact, ready‑to‑tow fishing rig

The hire package is a 4.2m Quintrex aluminium open boat with a 50hp four‑stroke Yamaha outboard, Minn Kota 55lb front‑mount electric motor and Hummingbird HELIX 9 sounder/GPS — set up for fishing and shallow coastal work.

THE WATERS

Access to Moreton Bay and regional rivers

Tow the boat to nearby waterways — including Redcliffe, Moreton Bay and river systems along the Sunshine Coast — and launch for days of coastal cruising and fishing.

THE EXPERIENCE

Self‑guided, multi‑day exploration

Extended Hire is a tow‑and‑go arrangement for 3–7 days that lets small crews plan their own routes, anchoring in passages and rivers while relying on the provided safety briefing and onboard inclusions.

What the day feels like

What the Extended Hire Feels Like

You collect the boat early in the morning after an induction, hitch it to your tow vehicle and drive to your chosen launch — then spend days navigating sheltered bays, passages and river mouths with a compact, fully supplied fishing boat. The arrangement is deliberately self‑directed: Coastal Boat Hire gives the briefing and the gear, and you manage the route, fuel and days afloat within the 3–7 day hire window.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this hire suits — and who should think twice.

1
Experienced AnglersA compact fishing setup with fishfinder and trolling motor suits anglers who plan their own multi‑day itineraries and can manage basic boat systems and fuel responsibility.
2
Small Crews & FamiliesCapacity is for up to four adults, making this a good option for small groups who can tow and rig the boat themselves.
3
Drivers with Tow VehiclesHirers must have a vehicle with a tow ball and a valid Australian car licence to tow the vessel; without that capability this hire is not feasible.
4
First‑time BoatersBeginners are welcome only if they hold the required licences and are prepared to absorb the operator’s induction and safety briefing — the arrangement is self‑drive, not a skippered charter.
