About Little Ship Club

Step off the Dunwich ferry and onto the waterfront lawn at Little Ship Club, where cold beer and Moreton Bay views wait just steps from the terminal. Boaters tie up at the pontoon while day-trippers settle under the palms for crisp fish and chips, chilled prawns, and live afternoon music. It is an unhurried, dog-friendly patch of North Stradbroke Island that welcomes non-members for lunch right by the water, best paired with a plate of oysters as the sun drops behind Peel Island.

  • Direct Waterfront & Ferry Access: Steps from the Dunwich water taxi with dedicated pontoon berths to moor private vessels directly ashore.
  • Lawn Dining & Sunset Views: Pet-friendly green lawns host live weekend music overlooking Moreton Bay with space for kids to roam.
  • Seafood & Cold Pours: Barramundi, local prawns, fresh oysters, and tap beer served in an easygoing club setting open to non-members.

  • Fresh Island Seafood and Cold Beers

    Enjoy freshly prepared island seafood paired with cold tap beer right by the water.

    Dropped in this arvo for some wonderful seafood on the island and it certainly didn't disappoint. Big juicy oysters, fresh prawns and crisp fish and chips.

  • Relaxed Transit Buffer on Arrival or Departure

    Turn waiting periods into an easy stop for a quick lunch and cold drink before catching the island barge.

    Thanks for serving our food early last week, helping us easily catch the barge.

  • Expansive Waterfront Lawns with Live Music

    Soak up the Moreton Bay views and live music on sweeping waterfront lawns shaded by palm trees.

  • Bayside Sunsets Where Time Stands Still

    Unwind in an open-air bayside setting famous for peaceful afternoons and vibrant island sunsets.

    One of those places where time stands still—palm trees, sea, and a sunny day with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reserve Ahead for Peak Times

Book ahead online or secure your table early, especially during peak seasons and weekends, as popular dishes like the barramundi sell out quickly during busy lunch services.

Plan Pontoon Moorings

Private vessel owners should reserve a berth on the pontoon in advance, noting that the adjacent public pontoon is primarily suitable for medium and smaller boats.

Time Your Ferry Departure

Located just steps from the water taxi and ferry terminal, the club makes a convenient pre-departure stop—let staff know if you need to catch a departing ferry or barge so meals can be timed smoothly.
