Bill's Boat Hire And Bike Hire is a watercraft and bike rental operator based in Pelican Waters, Queensland, offering a range of self-drive boats and paddlecraft for exploring Pumicestone Passage and nearby Bribie Island. Featured on The Adventure Collective, the company lists single and double kayaks, stand up paddle boards, half-cabin boats, and several BBQ pontoon boats in its fleet.
Single kayak hires are available for experienced paddlers; single and double kayak hires and stand up paddle board hires require swimmers only and are not available to non-swimmers. The double kayak accommodates two adults and one child and provides all required safety gear. Stand up paddle board hires typically run two to three hours and are ideal for serene coastal exploration.
Family-friendly motor options include a half cabin boat rated for six people (three adults and three toddlers) that does not require a boat license, and multiple pontoon boats with BBQs and seating for groups: a Cruiza 10-seater luxury BBQ pontoon, an 11-seater BarbieQ BBQ pontoon, a Sweetwater 10-seater with sunbed available in two- to six-hour bookings with fuel and safety equipment included, and a 7-seater Tracker BBQ pontoon. Several boats are offered without a boat license requirement, making local exploration accessible for families and groups. Safety equipment is provided across rentals to support responsible outings on the water.
Launch points operate from Pelican Waters, providing direct access to Pumicestone Passage and short crossings to Bribie Island. Rentals include clear safety briefings and equipment checks before every departure safely.
