"The best boat hire option in the area no doubt."
Coral L
Thanks to Coral L for this fantastic review yesterday. (posted on Tweed Escapes Business Page on Google)

"My family had such a good day with Tweed Escapes, it's definitely the best boat hire option in the area no doubt. The luxury BBQ boat was really impressive, super modern, and had everything we needed, a BBQ, pizza oven, running water, toilet, and plenty of space for everyone and easy to operate.

What really stood out was how friendly and accommodating the staff were. They didn’t rush us at all and even gave us some extra time so we could catch the sunset it was such a beautiful way to finish the day.

If you’re thinking of exploring the Tweed waterways, I can’t recommend them enough. It’s not just a boat trip, it’s a chance to slow down, enjoy the scenery, and spend quality time with your family in comfort. Everything about it felt really well thought out and welcoming."
