BOAT HIRE SYDNEY - REVIEWS

Skipper George was so laid back, asking us where we wanted to head to for the day which made our experience feel totally personalised. He even went to the effort to drop anchor in a shallower bay so that those of us not sure about the deep harbour waters, were able to get in for a swim. Andrew, our host, made sure we always had a full drink in our hands (which was an unexpected bonus) and cooked a fab BBQ spread for us all. Both crewmembers were friendly and good company for the day.

Thank you to the team at Eastcoast Sailing for a totally memorable Christmas Party. From booking to boarding, the whole experience was simple and hassle free, allowing us to enjoy the spectacular day.

Thank you Kylie, George and Andrew. (keep it up!) Merry Christmas!

Kate

We had a lovely time last Friday up in Pittwater for my Mum’s 70th Birthday.

Jim, the skipper, was great with the kids and his calm manner somehow effortlessly managed to put my oldest, who had been quite anxious of sailing at ease. He also encouraged each of the children to take a turn at the helm, which they all loved, and we spotted dolphins right by the boat, which was very special.

Pittwater is a great location for sailing and we would go back in an instant if we could!

Thank you for organising the trip. Best wishes

Hi Kylie,

I just want to congratulate you and your company for enabling us to have the most awesome time! Thank you so much your advice was impeccable, having the extra time was wonderful and the catering made it so enjoyable for all of us hosting the party. The crew, Susannah and Mark, were terrific. Susannah took so many wonderful photos for me and Mark showed us the sights and took us to a magical cove and cooked the perfect BBQ. I will certainly recommend you and your company.

Sue

We loved our east coast sailing experience. Your customer service before the boat was impeccable, all of our needs and questions were taken care of with an amazing promptness. On the boat Lisa the captain was a delight to be with she was interesting informative and fun. We loved our sailing experience the storm was beautiful to watch and the sunset was stunning. There is nothing I like better than being on a boat in Sydney harbour. I would recommend east coast sailing at the drop of a hat.

Chantal

I was very satisfied with the service you provided. I was overseas so found it very stressful trying to book this event from so far. However Kylie helped to relieve this stress by being helpful, friendly and quick with email responses. I had no issues at all with the booking. The boat was fantastic and we all had a great day. So thanks so much to Eastcoast Sailing.

Frequently Asked Questions

You don’t need a boat licence to hire with us. All Eastcoast Sailing charters come with a qualified skipper and crew who take care of navigation and safety, so you can relax and enjoy your time on the water. However, we also have some bareboat sailing vessels available for those who wish to sail independently and meet the required experience conditions.

We recommend booking  at least 2–3 months ahead, especially for weekends or peak seasons (Christmas, Vivid, Australia Day). If you’re booking at the last minute, get in touch and we’ll do everything we can to fit you in.

Our fleet includes small catamarans for 10–45 guests, motor boats and luxury super yachts for 40–80, and large function vessels  that host up to 200+ guests.

Yes — many of our vessels allow BYO food and drinks, especially for groups under 50 guests. All catamarans are BYO-friendly, while larger or luxury boats typically aren’t. We also offer catering and drinks packages, from casual platters to fully catered menus with waitstaff. Not sure yet? We can reserve a BYO charter and add catering later — just remember, catering and final guest numbers must be confirmed 14 days before your cruise.

If weather conditions are unsafe, your booking can be rescheduled or credited. Light rain rarely affects sailing — many guests enjoy the harbour regardless.

Absolutely. We provide corporate charters, team-building days, and party cruises with full catering, décor and entertainment options.

Your quote covers the skipper, crew, fuel, safety gear, and cleaning. Any optional catering or entertainment add-ons are discussed upfront — no surprises.

We operate across major Sydney wharfs including Darling Harbour, Circular Quay, Rose Bay, Manly and Mosman Bay. We’ll help you select the most convenient location.
