about us

Shaun Dionysius, originally from Brisbane, has been visiting Hervey Bay for 15 years and now resides there with his family. His love for fishing in the area has inspired him to create opportunities for others to experience the beauty and adventures he has enjoyed over the years, making a significant sea change in pursuit of sharing his passion with the community.

Shaun's passion for fishing blossomed in his youth, as his father introduced him to the sport in the dams of the South Burnett area. Since then, Shaun has been hooked, fishing locally around Brisbane and the Gold Coast, before eventually venturing to Hervey Bay and beyond to the iconic Great Barrier Reef. His lifelong love for fishing has taken him on a remarkable journey through different waters, shaping his experiences and deepening his connection to the sea. Shaun has a history of delighting family and friends with whale watching, dolphin sightings, and beach picnics during boat outings, receiving exceptional feedback on their experiences giving him the idea to start doing these amazing experiences for everyone else to enjoy.

With his Coxswain Grade 1 Near Coastal qualifications, Shaun ensures that you are in safe and capable hands while aboard his vessel. His expertise and experience in navigation and operation guarantee a secure and enjoyable experience for all passengers.

Join us on Playtime, Saltwater Playgrounds' newest vessel, for remarkable adventures and unforgettable moments. Experience breathtaking sights, create lifelong memories, and enjoy amazing experiences all in a single day. We look forward to sharing these special moments with you.
