what our clients are saying about us

  •   We always hire a pontoon boat with any friends or family who come to Noosa. Great prices and the staff are always happy to help. We get a BBQ pontoon and the kids love being able to fish and then have a cook up.

      Thanks to Pelican Boat Hire for ensuring our New Year got off to a fantastic start on the beautiful Noosa River. Daytripper is the perfect party boat and the staff made our evening very memorable!

  •   Thought we would grab a coffee and watch the world go by. The girl serving took ages and although not busy couldn’t look and say i’ll be with soon etc The slogan is not correct either. Coffee was burnt and not drinkable.
