Stretching along Queensland’s eastern coast, Moreton Bay Marine Park offers a vivid snapshot of Australia’s rich coastal ecosystems and island landscapes. Departing from Raby Bay Harbour in Cleveland, Brisbane Yacht Charters invites adventurers to step aboard the Aristocat, a spacious sailing catamaran designed for stability and comfort. This 4.5-hour public charter balances active sailing with relaxed sightseeing, carving out a unique niche in the region’s outdoor recreation.
Moreton Bay itself is an ecological hotspot, home to sweeping seagrass beds and coral reefs that support abundant marine life—including dolphins, dugongs, turtles, stingrays, and migratory birds. Glide across the clear waters weaving between bay islands as the skilled crew offers hands-on sailing instruction, from helming to sail trimming, making this a memorable experience for novices and seasoned sailors alike.

With the freedom to dinghy ashore, guests can engage with Moreton Bay’s unique natural environment away from the crowds.
Afternoon tea features locally sourced antipasto and seasonal fruit, paired perfectly with champagne enjoyed on the front net of the catamaran under full sail.
