If you’ve lived on the Redcliffe Peninsula for any length of time, chances are you’ve already enjoyed a feed from Bay Boats Take Away — or at least heard someone rave about it. After more than 70 years of serving locals, Bay Boats isn’t just a takeaway shop… it’s part of the Redcliffe story.
Old-School Charm, Timeless Flavour
Since opening way back in 1950, Bay Boats has been the go-to corner shop for generations. It’s where locals came for a cold drink, a bag of hot chips, or a thick, creamy milkshake after school — and decades later, not much has changed (thankfully).
Now in its 75th year, Bay Boats Take Away continues to deliver that authentic, old-school experience that locals love — homemade burgers, crispy potato scallops, and freshly cooked fish and chips that taste just like you remember
The team still believes in doing things the right way: sourcing quality ingredients, making everything fresh, and serving it all with a smile.
Where Retro Meets Renewable
While the menu might be classic, the operation is anything but outdated. Bay Boats proudly runs on clean, green energy, powered by almost 100 solar panels keeping the fryers hot and the fridges cold. It’s a blend of nostalgia and innovation — a business that respects its roots while embracing the future.
And speaking of nostalgia, there’s even a retro arcade machine inside for customers to enjoy while waiting for their order — because who doesn’t love a quick game with their chips?
Award-Winning Local Favourite
It’s no surprise Bay Boats continues to earn recognition across the region. In 2025, the team proudly took home the Local Business Award for Best Fast Food/Takeaway, solidifying what locals have known all along — this is the best fish and chips on the Peninsula.
But beyond awards and accolades, it’s the loyal customers — the families, tradies, retirees, and kids who’ve grown up on Bay Boats chips — that truly tell the story.
More Than Just Fish and Chips
Sure, Bay Boats is famous for their fresh fish and burgers, but they’re also your friendly corner store when you need the basics. Grab bread, milk, bait, tackle, or ice, or stop by for a morning coffee and bacon-and-egg roll before hitting the water.
With locally roasted coffee brewing behind the counter and a menu full of local favourites, it’s easy to see why people keep coming back.
And for those who like convenience, Bay Boats now offers online ordering — so your next meal is just a few clicks away.
Still the Heart of the Peninsula
Decade after decade, Bay Boats has remained a constant — serving the community with warmth, great food, and genuine local spirit. It’s more than a takeaway shop; it’s a piece of Redcliffe history that continues to evolve while staying true to its roots.
So whether you’re craving a fresh fish fillet, a handmade burger, or that unmistakable taste of nostalgia, you know exactly where to go.
