Most people know the Brisbane River for its skyline views, riverside dining, and iconic Story Bridge. But what many don’t realise is that just a short 1.5 hour cruise takes you from the heart of the city to one of Queensland’s most stunning destinations: Moreton Island.
Crystal-clear waters, sunken shipwrecks, and white sandy beaches await, and there’s no better way to explore than aboard YOT VICE, Brisbane’s most distinctive entertainment yacht.
Start with a Scenic Brisbane River Cruise
Your journey begins on the Brisbane River, with convenient pick-up points at New Farm Park River Hub or City Botanic Gardens River Hub. As you cruise out of the city, you’ll pass:
The historic Story Bridge and shimmering Brisbane skyline
The cultural hub of South Bank
Riverside suburbs and scenic waterside estates
In the evening, the river glows as the city lights reflect off the water — an unforgettable start or finish to your adventure.
Moreton Island: A Playground on the Water
Located just 40 kilometres off the coast, Moreton Island is the ultimate boat day destination. Here’s what makes it so special:
Snorkelling at the Tangalooma Wrecks: Explore 15 sunken shipwrecks that now teem with tropical fish and coral.
Crystal-clear beaches: Perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply soaking up the sun.
Water sports & adventure: Add jet skiing or beach games for an action-packed day.
Nearby gems: Extend your adventure to Peel Island or Cowan Cowan for more pristine scenery.
