Boat hire · Pittwater, NSW
Runabouts, a pontoon party boat, one small yacht and a rack of sea kayaks — by the half or full day on the sheltered side of Pittwater. We brief you on the jetty; you find the cove.
The flags up top spell our name in the International Code of Signals. Try yours

Learning the ropes, a sunset sail, quiet bays with the motor off.

Each bullet is the Charlie flag — “yes” in the Code of Signals. Sample prices in AUD, GST included.
The flag locker
Every letter from A to Z has its own flag in the International Code of Signals. Type a name — yours, the birthday crew's, or the boat you'd love to own — and we'll hoist it. Tap any flag to see what it says flown on its own.

Flags follow the International Code of Signals patterns, drawn in our own palette. The Code gives numbers their own pennants, so digits and symbols are left out here.
Before you cast off
We read the marine forecast for Pittwater at 6 am. Winds over 20 knots or a storm warning, and we call it: pick a new date or take a full refund. If it turns while you're out, we'll ring you in and refund the unused hours.
Sample policy for a fictional business. The dial shows an example day.
It depends on the boat, how fast it goes and how you'll use it. Requirements vary — we'll check with you when you book, before anyone pays.
Hold a boat licence? Bring it on the day. Don't have one? Tell us — some of the fleet may still suit, or add a skipper to any engine-powered boat.

Questions from the jetty
Still wondering? Ring the jetty on (02) 5550 7391 — we pick up between hires.
On Bluebottle and Long Lunch, yes. Bring a towel and a water bowl — we lend dog lifejackets for pups up to 15 kg.
Absolutely. We fit lifejackets from 12 kg up, and little ones wear theirs the whole time. House rule.
BYO is welcome and Long Lunch has a BBQ plate. Whoever's driving stays sober — same as on the road.
Give the jetty a ring. Late returns are charged in 30-minute blocks at the sample rate, and we'd rather you came in slow than rushed.
That's most of our guests. The practice loop is part of every briefing, and the kayaks and Long Lunch are the gentlest start.
