Rods BBQ Pontoon

Rods BBQ Pontoon operates a custom BBQ-equipped pontoon boat based in Steiglitz, Queensland. The business offers private hires for groups seeking relaxed boating experiences with on-board cooking and swimming opportunities. Rods BBQ Pontoon provides two main hire options: a Full Day Hire (eight hours) with complimentary fuel included, and a Half Day Hire with 25 to 35 litres of free fuel. Both options are designed for social gatherings, family outings, fishing support, or leisurely days on the water.
Safety and local knowledge are priorities for the operation. The pontoon is maintained for recreational use and prepared for day hire departures from local waterways near Steiglitz. Guests bring food to cook on the onboard barbecue, and fuel allowances are included per the chosen hire duration. Bookings are arranged for private groups, and the vessel is presented as a self-contained day-boat for hire.
Hire packages include the barbecue-equipped vessel and the fuel allowance stated for each trip. The business offers only day-hire durations—half day and full day—so all services are delivered as single-day outings suitable for daytime recreational use on local waterways. Booking terms are provided at reservation.
