Picnic Boat

Restored Halvorsen Picnic Boats Offer Vintage Cruising Experience in Sydney

A fleet of beautifully restored vintage Halvorsen sixteen-foot picnic boats is offering visitors a unique way to explore Sydney’s waterways. Blending classic design with modern comfort, the vessels are designed for relaxed cruising, sightseeing, and casual fishing across the harbour.

Spacious and stable, the boats feature side seating and a half hard top that provides shade and shelter from both sun and rain. With the capacity to carry up to eight passengers, they offer one of the more generous seating arrangements in this style of small craft available in Sydney.

The experience is designed to be accessible, requiring no boating licence, making it suitable for families and groups of friends. All essential safety equipment, including life jackets and fuel, is provided, while drivers are only required to be comfortable in the water.

While the boats cannot be beached, they can be anchored close to shore for easy access to scenic spots. Seasonal pricing, a refundable bond, and modest weekend or public holiday surcharges apply, ensuring a straightforward and transparent rental experience for all guests.
