Friday 9th August – Sunday 11th August 2024
The RMC Bribie Island Experience offers a serene and sociable weekend getaway, commencing with a leisurely cruise from the Sovereign Islands on the northern end of the Gold Coast Broadwater. This journey, set for a Friday morning, takes us through the scenic routes up into Moreton Bay, culminating at our picturesque anchorage in Bribie Island. Upon arrival, participants have the opportunity to anchor their vessels and join a laid-back meet-and-greet on the beach, setting the tone for a weekend focused on relaxation and camaraderie.
The experience is designed to offer a tranquil contrast to the bustling Brisbane Experience, prioritising leisure and social interaction in a stunning natural setting. The agenda for Saturday includes an exploration of the beautiful Pumicestone Passage, followed by a gathering at the renowned Sandstone Point Hotel. This venue, known for its vibrant atmosphere, the Oyster Shed, and a plethora of live entertainment options, serves as an ideal backdrop for Riviera owners to enjoy and engage with one another. Although the gig guide has yet to be announced, the hotel’s reputation promises an enjoyable day with something for everyone. Conveniently, tenders can be moored at the jetty located in front of the hotel, ensuring easy access for all attendees.
To summarise, the RMC Bribie Island Experience is an invitation to unwind and connect with fellow Riviera owners in a relaxed and picturesque setting. The weekend is a blend of serene cruising, leisurely beachside gatherings, and vibrant social events, all set against the backdrop of Bribie Island’s natural beauty and the lively atmosphere of the Sandstone Point Hotel.
As the weekend concludes, we will embark on a leisurely cruise back to the Gold Coast on Sunday morning, allowing for a gentle end to a memorable weekend. This experience is crafted to foster a sense of community and relaxation among Riviera owners, offering a perfect escape from the everyday.
