Electric Picnic Boat Hire on Middle Harbour

The maximum capacity on each boat is 8 people. This limit includes children and is a legal requirement for our boats. Picking up additional guests is not permitted and may result in the loss of your security deposit. You could also be liable for a fine.

No, you don’t need a boat licence or any previous boating experience to drive a GoBoat. Our friendly crew will provide you with clear instructions and demonstrate how to drive the boat when you arrive.

You can reschedule your booking for any reason without penalty up to 24 hours before departure, so we encourage all guests to keep an eye on the forecast leading up to their booking.

If the weather is unsafe at the time of sailing, you will also be offered the opportunity to reschedule.

For extra peace of mind, we recommend adding our optional Cancellation Protection. This allows you to reschedule or cancel for a refund for any reason up to 4 hours before departure.

We strongly recommend guests visit us by public transport, with direct bus services operating regularly from the Sydney CBD, Chatswood, and Manly. Plan your trip here.

There is metered parking available at the Spit West Reserve Council Car Park, just a short walk from the marina. Please note: parking is often at capacity during peak times, such as weekends.

If you plan to arrive by car, please allow an additional 30-45 minutes to find a park and get to the marina. We may not be able to extend or alter bookings due to late arrival.

Yes, you can bring up to 2 standard drinks per person onboard. The nominated skipper must remain sober for the duration of your booking.

Absolutely! We love having fur-captains onboard. Dogs and other pets do not count toward the 8-person capacity limit.

Unfortunately, swimming and fishing are not permitted from our boats. Additional fees and penalties may apply, including cleaning fees, cancellation of your booking, and forfeiture of your security deposit.

Yes, just like when hiring a car or checking in to a hotel, we will place a small hold (pre-authorisation) on your credit or debit card in case of any damage.

For credit cards, the hold is $1. For debit cards, the hold is $200. This is released from our side immediately upon the safe return of the boat, and the funds are usually accessible again in 3-5 business days. If a pending transaction still appears after this time, you should contact your bank for further assistance.

While GoBoat The Spit, Mosman, accepts Google Pay and Apple Pay, we strongly recommend bringing your physical credit or debit card for a smooth and seamless check-in process.
