Duration:
Operated By:
Set sail from Cabarita Point and cruise along the Parramatta River on an environmentally-friendly electric boat. Enjoy the sun as you enjoy the freedom of piloting a boat on your own.
Board your Danish-designed picnic boats, constructed from fiberglass made from recycled PET bottles, and head off along the river.
Communal recycled timber picnic table included, so pack a picnic basket with you to enjoy under the clear blue sky, and bring a cooler for cold drinks. Choose from a 1, 2, or 3-hour rental and have a relaxing afternoon on the water. Perfect for couples, families and groups of friends, GoBoat is pet friendly too, so all fur babies are welcome.
Each boat can take up to 8 people (including children), and if you are a bigger group you can book multiple boats at once.
Gather your crew and jump aboard!

The boat was clean, and the staff were very helpful and friendly, making the whole process smooth from start to finish. However, I do think the boats could be improved with cushions for all the seats. After a while, the hard seating became a bit uncomfortable.
It’s also worth noting that there is a $200 security deposit required, which can take up to a week to be returned.
Overall, it was a lovely way to spend the day and celebrate with friends. If you’re looking for a laid-back activity with great views of Sydney, GoBoat is worth considering!
What made the experience even more memorable was the kind staff, who were excellent with children. We booked for 2 hours but would have loved to stay for another hour or two. We will definitely be back for another trip.
The staff are so polite, friendly and informative. The boats are cool, instagrammable and easy to operate, and it's just the best day out on the water, for family and friends alike.
Also Cabarita point itself has so much to do with the park, the beach and the pool.
I can't wait to book our next adventure.
We took our almost 3 year old, he loved being out on the water spotting all the other boats and wildlife. We took some food and drinks along with us, the table was a perfect size and had built in drink holders so no worry about spilling your drink! There is an option to purchase a cheese board if you prefer, and you can hire an esky and speaker too.
There was a Life jacket and captains hat provided for our son, we were given a map and advice on where to do/not to go, the boat was super easy to drive and provided a lot of shade with the overhead cover. The boat was spacious enough for us to move around easily, I would definitely recommend Go Boat Sydney if you are looking for a different experience in Sydney with friends or family!
Two hours seems to be be good..Bring some snacks, drinks to enjoy.. Boatswain not going fast.. But many other ferries and high speed boats make enough waves to give bit of shake.. Good to be away from those as possible..
I also do have to echo other reviews about having a bad experience with one of the staff members, who was just very stressful and rude given it was our first time. I think the instructions could've been clearer, especially if he thought we were that bad.
Strategic location within Sydney.
Good customer service.
Clean nice boats.
Relaxing weekend experience.
Ample opportunity parking spaces.
Definitely recommending this to my friends and family!
Process is easy, boat is comfortable in size to accommodate everyone, the environment is very pretty, the later times available are convenient especially as we were working that day and got to come after work and watch the sunset, staff are super helpful and I think the price is pretty decent especially to cater for upto 8 people!
Look forward to our next visit!
My hubby's first time driving a boat, and he could do it easily straight away ( they gave us the instruction and it was a simple tiller steering)
My little one and my mom also came to celebrate ( big space!)
We can bring our food and drinks too, love it!
A perfect anniversary celebration! Thank you so much GoBoat!
