Boab Boat Hire Hervey Bay

Launch your own Hervey Bay adventure with Boab Boat Hire, where calm, protected waters meet wide sandy beaches and rich marine life. Hire licence-required boats equipped with GPS, fish finder and depth sounder, and explore a remarkable boating playground just 10 km from K'gari (formerly Fraser Island). With very limited swell and around 50 km of accessible sandy shoreline, the bay is ideal for relaxed family days, beach picnics and water sports. Water temperatures rarely fall below 19°C, so it’s a year-round option. Choose from inshore runabouts through to centre cabs with offshore limits up to 15 nautical miles. The main launch point is Urangan Harbour, with alternative ramps at Point Vernon, River Heads, Burrum Heads and Maryborough (South Street) available—perfect for tailoring your day on the water. If fishing’s your focus, seasonal highlights include mackerel (November–January), tuna (February–April), snapper and winter whiting in the cooler months, and even juvenile black marlin (November–December) in shallow water. Hervey Bay is also famous for humpback whales from late July to October—an unforgettable sight in these protected waters. Always follow local regulations and safe distances around wildlife.
