About Noosa Watersports
Noosa Watersports is the Noosa River's one-stop watersports hub, offering everything from self-drive boat hire and jet ski rentals to kayak and stand-up paddleboard hire, sailing lessons, and offshore fishing charters. Located right on the banks of the Noosa River, the business has built a reputation as the easiest way for visitors to get out on the water without needing any prior experience or a boat licence.
The fleet includes a range of boat sizes from nimble runabouts to spacious BBQ pontoons that seat up to 12 guests, all available for self-drive hire with no licence required. Jet ski experiences range from guided river circuits ideal for beginners to exhilarating ocean tours that head out through the Noosa River mouth into Laguna Bay, passing the famous Noosa surf breaks. For something more relaxed, guests can rent kayaks, SUPs, or sailing dinghies to explore the river's calm upper reaches and mangrove-lined tributaries at their own pace.
What makes Noosa Watersports the go-to operator is the sheer breadth of options available from a single waterfront location. Families can split up — kids on jet skis, parents on a pontoon cruise, grandparents paddling a kayak — and all meet back at the same dock. The riverfront position in Noosaville is central to restaurants, cafes, and parkland, making it easy to combine a morning on the water with lunch on Gympie Terrace. Their fishing charters also depart from the same base, targeting reef fish offshore in the Great Sandy Strait.
