Boat hire in Brisbane
The easiest way to get out on the bay. Pick up from Manly or have us deliver to your preferred ramp.
Manly base, full Brisbane reach
Based in Manly with delivery available to ramps across Wynnum, Redland Bay, Cleveland, and the greater Brisbane region.
A boat for every plan
A well-maintained fleet that covers the lot: a quiet fish, a family cruise, a serious day chasing fish, or a run out to the islands. There's a boat to match whatever you've got planned.
Local team, local knowledge
We're Brisbane locals. We'll tell you where the fish are biting, which ramps to avoid at low tide, and how to get to Straddie without the chop.
Where you can go
Tide isn't tied to one stretch of water. The bay, the river and the lakes are all on the table.
Moreton Bay
Calm water close in, islands and fishing grounds further out, right on our doorstep.
The Brisbane River
A relaxed cruise or a quiet fish, with the city skyline for a backdrop.
The local lakes
Trailer the boat inland to the lakes and dams around southeast Queensland.
Based in Manly
Our home base is Manly, on Brisbane's bayside, the biggest marina on Moreton Bay, with fuel, food, ice and tackle all within walking distance. Come and collect the boat from us here and you're minutes from open water.
Not near Manly? No worries. We also deliver and launch at ramps right across the bay: Redcliffe, Cleveland, Victoria Point, Raby Bay and more.

What our customers say
Great friendly service and a great day out with the flexibility of time, distance and options for the boats. Thanks heaps team
So understanding and so lovely to deal with. Made our belated valentines boat trip a million times better with their kindness and patience during a tough time.
Super easy to book, fast responses and boat better than expected. Had a great day out. Will book again! Thanks!
We hired the Bayliner for the weekend at Somerset Dam. It was a great weekend for our family. It was a simple and easy process with Adam. The boat suit our requirements and was a super fun weekend. Thanks and look forward to other adventures with these guys.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a family fun day! We took the Bayliner out in Moreton and the kids couldn't get enough of it.
Quality day out with the family!! Adam even dropped the boat off and loaded it into the water at Manly as we didn't have a trailer to take it down. Thanks so much!
My friend and I rented the Tinny for a day fishing. We didn't need a licence to operate the tinny, as it's under 4hp. We are newbies to boating and the Tide team made us at ease with their briefing on how to operate the boat. Great experience and will definitely be booking again.
Organised this for a company day out on a boat for something different. They made it extremely easy and straightforward. Very good value for money and great boat options. Special thanks to Omar
