GoBoat's Dog-friendly Picnic Boat Hire



GoBoat hits the Spit in Mosman for Dog-Friendly Water Fun

Premium electric picnic boats are now available for hire at The Spit, Mosman (Sydney).

Local families, visitors and their dogs are now able to enjoy exploring Sydney’s Middle Harbour, skippering their very own electric picnic boat as GoBoat has launched on D’Albora Marina The Spit.

“We’re so excited to bring GoBoat’s unique boating experience to Sydney’s north and make the picturesque Middle Harbour more accessible to locals and tourists,” GoBoat Founder Nick Tyrrell said.

“From as little as $19 per person, GoBoat makes getting out on the water easy and affordable for everyone with no boat licence or prior experience required.”

“Every day thousands of people cross the Spit Bridge dreaming of getting out to enjoy some time on the water and it’s now possible without the expense and responsibility of owning your own boat,” he added.

The Scandinavian-designed Australian-made GoBoats have a large, shaded picnic table made from recycled wood and are powered by quiet, fume-free electric engines.

  • No boat licence required to hire and operate, no age limit, and with all safety equipment provided.
  • Australian-built GoBoats are environmentally friendly
  • Dog friendly so you can bring your pooch for a fun water adventure
  • With up to 8 people on each boat they are perfect for celebrating special occasions or just for a picnic on the water


“Accredited as a Sustainable Tourism Operator by the Australian Tourism Industry Council, our state-of-the-art boats are designed to ensure we tread lightly on our precious environment, with zero operating emissions, zero noise pollution and zero waterway erosion all while making plenty of priceless memories,” said Tyrrell.

GoBoat was first launched in Canberra in 2017, and since then has expanded to four more sites across Australia and welcomed more than 350,000 guests, including more than 50 wedding proposals.

“These are the perfect boats for a relaxed no-fuss fun day out on the water with family and friends, and your dog if you have one!” he said.

“Our vision is to make electric boating accessible to everyone with guests from as young as a few weeks old through to those in their hundreds.”

GoBoat has been recognised as a leader in the field of eco-tourism and leisure, being featured on national television programs such as Sunrise, Getaway and Travel Guides, as well as being showcased in Tourism Australia commercials highlighting Australia’s enviable tourism offerings to the world.

GoBoat is now available to sail out of the D’Albora Marina at The Spit, Mosman.
