Small boat hire at Airlie Beach

[boatboy50]

Hey Guys,

Heading to the Whitsundays soon, and I was hoping someone up there hires out a 5-6m Polycraft or similar with a decent engine.

Can someone point me in the direction of such a company?

Give Phil a call at Tropic Car & Truck rentals.

He has a really tidy 4.75 Topender with a 70hp Yammy which goes for about $200 a day and a couple a bit smaller (& cheaper).

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the replies.

I cant find any contact details for tropic car and truck rental. Anyone have any phone numbers.

The other place has two boats which are both two stroke engines. Im hoping the Quinnie has a 4-banger.

Hey,

Thanks for the heads up.

Im not driving up, im flying, but thought hiring up there would be better than going on tours with charter boats.
