Frankie operates from Double Bay. The 5pm hire and the 1:30pm Day Tripper run 31 October to 8 March, while the evenings are long.

You don't need a boat licence or any boating experience to hire Frankie. Every hire starts with full training from our team at the wharf — we walk you through the controls, the harbour map and the safety gear, then you do a short test drive so you get the feel of her before you head off.

We make sure you're confident at the helm before you set out — and if you ever want a hand while you're on the water, we're only a phone call away for your whole hire. First-timers do this every week and handle it with no problems.

Fuel is included in the price — nothing extra to pay.

A refundable $250 security hold is placed on your card the day before your hire and released after the boat is returned in good condition. Nothing is charged unless there is damage.

Weekday prices apply Monday to Friday. Weekend & peak pricing applies on Saturdays, Sundays and every day from 19 December to 26 January. Public holidays add a surcharge.

The exact price for your date appears the moment you pick a date at checkout.

✓ Up to 10 people

✓ No licence required — full briefing and training on the day

✓ Beginner friendly — no experience needed

✓ BYO food and drinks welcome

You are welcome to explore Sydney Harbour, including Rose Bay, Watsons Bay, Shark Island, Chowder Bay, Mosman Bay and the Lane Cove and Parramatta rivers.

Please do not cross the line between Camp Cove and Georges Head. That means no Middle Harbour, North Harbour, Manly or open ocean — we will show you exactly where this is on your map during the briefing.

Both of our Double Bay boats are relaxed cruisers rather than fast boats, so plan a route that suits the time you have — your briefing will include some suggestions.

Frankie has a roof over roughly three quarters of the deck, so you are well covered for a passing shower.

If there is a 50% chance of rain (10mm) forecast the afternoon before the hire according to the Bureau of Meteorology, you are welcome to reschedule.

If we ever have to cancel because weather, sea conditions or safety concerns make the hire unsafe, we'll reschedule you to another date.

If you need to cancel: more than 7 days before your hire you receive a full refund, no questions asked. Within 7 days the booking is non-refundable — any reschedule or credit is at our discretion (one reschedule per booking).

✓ Bbq

✓ BYO Allowed

✗ Crew Not Included

Frankie is a 7-metre BBQ pontoon — a flat, stable deck built for long lunches on the water rather than getting anywhere quickly. No licence is required and no experience is needed — we brief you on the day, you do a short test drive with us, and then she's all yours. At a relaxed 10 knots, Frankie is one of the easiest boats on the harbour for a first-time skipper.

The BBQ is the point of her. We supply the gas, you bring the food, and you can cook properly while anchored somewhere quiet. There is an esky on board for drinks, a shaded deck, an anchor, and full safety equipment.

Frankie seats 10 and departs from Double Bay. Fuel is included. Refitted for summer 2026.

Yes! Frankie allows BYO food and drinks. You're welcome to bring your own catering, alcohol, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Sydney Harbour is sheltered, so most hires go ahead rain or shine — see "What if it's forecast to rain?" above for Frankie's rain policy and when you can reschedule. If conditions are genuinely unsafe (e.g. storm warnings), we'll rebook you.

There's no toilet on board, but there are plenty of places to hop off. Frankie can stop at approved beaches and wharves around the harbour, and we give you a digital map on the day with all the places you can go.

Yes! You're welcome to bring a portable speaker and play your own playlist — check the add-ons when booking, as speaker hire may be available.

There's no deposit — you pay the full hire amount when you book, and your booking is confirmed instantly. A refundable $250 security hold is placed on your card the day before your hire and released after the boat is returned in good condition.

Extensions are subject to availability — call us on 0432 428 297 during your hire and we'll check whether the boat is free after your slot.
