Perfect for self drive boat & first timers.

Perfect option for first time self drive boat experiences. Requires no experience and the onboarding is awesome and easy to understand! Stefan is the best!

Best experience in Sydney

It was an excellent experience. My family of six had a whole boat to ourselves. The scenery from the water was completely different from what you see on land. Being on the boat was very relaxing. David, who received us, was extremely friendly. I highly recommend this tour.

A Great Day Out On The Water

The self drive boat was fantastic. David was great and helped us understand the waterways and how to operate the boat - it was all very easy and straightforward. We enjoyed sailing around the harbour at our own pace and enjoyed some drinks and snacks on board. So relaxing.

Serene Surroundings On Relaxing Boat

We had a wonderful time on the boat! We had perfect weather and enjoyed exploring Middle Harbour on a gorgeous day. The boat was easy to operate even though we were sailing novices. Would definitely do it again!

One of the most incredible experiences we have ever had

We booked a birthday fun boat in Sydney, and it was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The boat was beautiful and perfectly organised, with an amazing and professional team, thanks to Stephen, David and Rose. Everything felt seamless and special, and it made my partner’s birthday truly unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience.

3 hours of fun..

We did a 3‑hour self‑drive boat hire with friends and had an incredible time. The briefing was quick and clear, and the boat was easy to handle even for beginners. Once we were out on the harbour, it felt like pure freedom — cruising past iconic views, stopping for snacks, and enjoying the sunshine and music. Three hours was the perfect length to explore without rushing. We stepped off relaxed, happy, and already planning to book again. A fantastic way to enjoy Sydney with friends.
