About Terrace Marina
Terrace Marina is the largest boat and jet ski hire operation on the Noosa River, offering self-drive boats, guided jet ski tours, SUPs, and kayaks from their waterfront base on Gympie Terrace in Noosaville. Originally established over 80 years ago as Terrace Boat Hire, the business was relaunched under new ownership in 2022 with a refreshed fleet and a popular waterfront cafe.
Their boat hire fleet includes bow riders and BBQ pontoons for up to 12 people — no boat licence required. Jet ski options range from self-drive river circuits to guided open ocean tours that cross the Noosa Bar and cruise around Noosa National Park to Granite Bay. All jet ski tours include a land-based lesson and the latest model Sea-Doo GTS Pro machines. They also hire stand-up paddleboards and kayaks for exploring the river at a slower pace.
Terrace Marina stands out for the sheer breadth of watercraft available at a single location, plus the convenience of their onsite cafe — grab a coffee before heading out, or debrief over lunch after a morning on the water. No experience is needed for any of their hire options, making it a go-to for families and first-timers visiting Noosa.
