Australians have always been drawn to the sea, with approximately 85 per cent of Australians today living within 50 kilometres of the coast. Abundant coastlines, waterways and river systems lure us to their shores year-round to mess around in boats of all sizes from stand-up paddleboards to superyachts, and almost 2.6 million Australians live in a household with a boat.

In this guide you’ll find inspiration, ideas and planning tips for your next Queensland boating adventure organised into six themed sections: short breaks, coastal hopping, marinas and harbours, islands, nature getaways and gourmet getaways. Whether you plan to voyage along the entire coast or simply cruise to a nearby bay for lunch at a waterfront restaurant, the Boating Guide to Queensland will help you plan your next boating getaway.

The book includes:

• restuarants and cafes where you can park your boat and hop off to grab a bite to eat. which marina’s are available for berthing your vessel overnight or for the day.
• rules and regulations around coastal waters and the great barrier reef.
• what sealife and bird life you will encounter and rules around fishing and diving these areas.
• things of interest and history information.

A great guide book for enjoying time on your boat.
