1Join Fraser Island Boat Charters for a private day skippered charter along the beautiful waters of the Fraser Coast! Departing from Hervey Bay, we’ll set sail across the Great Sandy Strait and anchor at spots like Pelican Bank and Big Woody Island and cruise along the coast of World Heritage-listed K’gari [Fraser Island] where you'll be treated to breathtaking sunsets. This experience is fully skippered and perfect for birthday parties, business functions, a private experience for couples or just a fun day out with mates. This is a completely private charter so you will have the vessel to yourselves with those in your group + the skipper. We offer both catered and BYO food and drink options and can take a maximum of 12 people for the full day. Add an inflatable pontoon for some extra fun on your day charter! It acts as an additional back deck area to relax and when the middle insert is removed, it doubles as a netted swimming area. *Subject to availability. Contact us for more info
