Private luxury boat hire from Manly, Brisbane. Just you, your guests, and the open waters — guided by a marine biologist.
Moreton Bay Private Escapes exists for one reason: to give you a day on the water that is genuinely yours. No shared vessels. No rigid timetables. No strangers.
When you book with us, the boat belongs to you and up to 6 of your chosen guests — and nothing else. This is private luxury boat hire from Manly, Brisbane — the way it should be.
Explore Peel Island, the Tangalooma Wrecks, and hidden sandbars only locals know. Snorkelling gear, gourmet catering, and a flexible itinerary.
A private cruise along the Brisbane River. Ideal for sunset drinks, a birthday surprise, or a midweek reset without leaving the city.
Every photo on this wall is a real day on the bay. Book your charter and the next one could be yours.
Book Your DayNo packed ferries. No strangers on your deck. Just you and your chosen guests in total seclusion on Moreton Bay's pristine waters.
Guided by a former UQ marine biologist, rescue diver, and 10-year Moreton Bay local.
Change the route mid-trip. Linger at a secret sandbar. Chase the sunset. Your itinerary answers to you.
Gourmet catering, premium beverages, snorkelling gear, and a vessel equipped for comfort. You bring the guests — we handle everything else.
Call, email, or book online. Share the occasion, group size, and what kind of day you're after — adventurous, relaxed, or somewhere in between.
Captain Jeremy plans the route, prepares the vessel, and coordinates any catering or extras. You just show up at Manly Boat Harbour.
Brisbane's skyline fades behind you. Moreton Bay opens up. And the only agenda is yours.
When you step aboard Sea La Vie, you're not getting a hired skipper reading from a script. You're getting the owner — a man who left university research to share Moreton Bay with the people who appreciate it most.
With a marine biology background from UQ and over a decade navigating these waters, Jeremy knows where the dolphins feed, where the coral is recovering, and which sandbars emerge at low tide.
