Maroochy Dreamboat Hire Reviews
Hiring the XL BBQ Boat and spending a day on the river was SO MUCH FUN and such a different way to experience the beautiful environment. The team at Swan Boats made it all very, very easy. Couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough. If you get a chance – do it.

Such a fun and relaxing activity to enjoy with friends or family at a great price! The boats are easy to operate, well-maintained, and come with everything you need for a few hours of fishing, swimming, or just chilling with a BBQ on the river. The staff team is fantastic—friendly, helpful, and really make the experience even better. Highly recommend!
