About These Charters
Water toy charters are most popular for daytime summer charters when guests want to get in the water. The skipper anchors at a suitable calm-water spot and deploys the toys. Popular anchor spots include Quarantine Beach, Store Beach, and various coves around Middle Harbour. Swimming in Sydney Harbour is generally safe in designated areas.
Planning Tips
- →Book a daytime summer charter (10am–3pm) for the best water toy experience
- →Bring a dry bag for phones and valuables when swimming
- →Ask the skipper which anchor spot is planned — some are better for swimming than others
- →Bring rash shirts — the sun reflects off the water and burns fast
- →Lilipads are especially popular with kids and groups for photos
