Your Fancy Floating Playground
Fast. Fun. Fuss-Free.
Think of it as Sydney’s coolest water toy—only with Bluetooth, a toilet (because dignity), and enough horsepower to make seagulls jealous. The Axopar 28 isn’t just a boat; it’s your VIP pass to Sydney Harbour’s best angles.
Pricing
Full-Day Hire – $990 + fuel
9am–5pm
Half- Day Hire- $750 + fuel
(Mon- Fri- on request)
Location
Your adventure begins at Spit Reserve, Mosman—right next to the Mosman Rowing Club. Look for the pontoon, and the boat will be awaiting.
Parking? Paid spots near the water, free ones a 5-minute walk away. Public transport? Buses stop close by. Lost? Just follow the scent of saltwater and freedom.
See you there, Captain! ⚓😎
No License? Hire a skipper!
Don’t have a boat license? Hire our skipper for just $250 and kick back like the VIP you are. No paperwork, no stress—just pure, unbothered harbour vibes.
What if its forecast to rain?
The canopy handles light showers, but if the sky decides to really open up? We’ve got you covered.
If the Bureau of Meteorology predicts a >50% chance of rain the day before your booking, you are free to reschedule no-worries.
How it works
The Essentials
Simrad GPS (so you don’t accidentally end up in New Zealand)
Up to 8 people
Private toilet (no “holding it in”)
Bluetooth sound system (your yacht-rock mixtape deserves an audience)
Swim platform + ladder (for dramatic Baywatch exits)
350HP Mercury engine (translation: zoom)
Your Harbour, Your Playground
The Axopar is your ticket to explore every sparkling corner of Sydney Harbour—from the quiet bays of middle harbour to the buzzing beaches of Manly, under the iconic Harbour Bridge, and all the way to Olympic Park if you were so inclined. Want to picnic in secluded Chowder bay? Cruise past the Opera House like a VIP? Anchor in Store Beach for a swim? Go for it—your route, your rules. Just one golden rule: stay inside the Sydney Heads.
🚤 Why Go Self-Drive? Freedom vs. Full-Service
Self-Drive = Pure Adventure
- Be the captain
- Go where you want, when you want—no schedule, no compromises
- Privacy perfected—it’s just you and your crew (and maybe a curious seal)
- Feels more like your boat—because it kinda is (for the day, at least)
Skippered Hire = Stress-Free Splashing
- No license? No problem—just sit back and point at landmarks
- Local expertise (translation: they know where the good fish & chips are)
- Bonus co-pilot for when you do want to try steering (wink)
The Verdict? Want total freedom? Self-drive. Want zero hassle? Add a skipper. Either way, you win. �⚓
Pro tip: First-timers often do a skippered hire first, then come back to conquer the helm themselves!
