Gift the experience

Gift Cards from GoBoat are incredibly popular! They're the perfect experience gift and ideal for those 'hard-to-buy-for' people - you know the ones.

A GoBoat Gift Card is valid for 3 years, and our guests can always add extra time, food and beverages, or merchandise when making their booking. It's completely flexible!

Our custom picnic boats are designed in Europe, made in Australia, and powered by state-of-the-art electric motors for an environmentally responsible experience.

FAQs

How many people can fit on a boat?

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.

Do I need a boat licence?

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.

What happens if it rains?

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.

Is there parking available?

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.

Can I bring alcohol onboard?

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

Can I bring my dog?

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

Can I swim or fish off the boat?

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.

Do I need a 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.
