There is a fridge for your convenience. Pillows & doonas are provided .You do need to bring your own pillowcases, sheets and towels. As storage is limited on all houseboats, soft bags are preferable to suitcases & nonslip shoes are recommended for safety on board.

I have not driven a boat before- Do I need a licence?
No. You don't need a licence to drive one of our houseboats. You do need to be at least 25 years of age and a holder of a current motor vehicle licence. On board we will brief you on the operation of the boat and where you can take it and then take you on short drive to make sure you feel comfortable with the boat before setting off on your own. For those preferring not to drive the houseboat a chartering service is available on request.

What if I damage the boat?
The boat is fully insured but you are responsible for damages and loss of equipment up to the value of your bond, providing you have met our conditions of hire. Wilful or negligent damage is not covered. The wind is one of the biggest dangers with all Houseboats. This is because of the flat bottom boat and flat sides. If the wind gets over 20 kms/hr then this can become tricky to manoeuvre the boat. We will let you know of the forecast before hiring the boat and will contact you if any changes.

How far can I take the houseboat?
You can take the boat throughout the reaches of Middle Harbour which includes between Roseville Bridge, under the Spit Bridge to Clontarf & Balmoral. NSW Maritime have set a boundary (smooth water plying limit on the Maritime Map) which can't be crossed which extends from Grotto Point (Dobroyd) to Middle Head. This is due to swells & commercial traffic on the main Sydney Harbour which is unsafe for houseboat use.

Is there a TV or music on board?
Yes there is a colour TV/DVD/CD on board as well as an AM/FM radio.

What if I need assistance out on the water?
