Swan Boat Hire is a small business which has been run by the Planck family for over 10 years. Located on the beautiful Maroochy River, we have a boat to suit all needs!

The wonderful Maroochy River is one of the Sunshine Coast's premier recreation areas - the Aboriginal word 'Maroochy' means 'Place of Black Swans' which features highly in Aboriginal legend.

Experience, explore and enjoy the magnificent river and its many tributaries. Get a group together or go out on your own for a fish, barbeque or paddle. At Swan Boat Hire, you have the freedom and independence to easily drive your own boat to wherever your heart desires!

Go sight-seeing, bird-watching or just observe the ecosystem at your own pace! You will discover the unique environment of the river system which is navigable up beyond Dunethin Rock picnic area (approximately 20km from the river mouth).

Stop for a barbeque in a Pontoon Boat, pack a picnic to have at one of the parks along the way or call in for a pub lunch at the Waterfront Hotel. Swan Bites (take-away next door) can also provide you with drinks, snacks, and a delicious lunch of hot food, scrumptious gourmet burgers, sandwiches or seafood to go!

For fun on the water – try our fleet of quality, clean, comfortable and safe boats. We aim to provide our customers with a fun and memorable experience on the river and hopefully catch a few fish too. There are over twenty boats – 6-8 seater tinnies, runabouts, half cabins, cruisers for 7-10 and luxury BBQ boats (with toilets) for 8-12 people. Also available are paddle craft : 1-3 person canoes, kayaks, paddleskis and stand-up paddleboards.
