Great option and a great team

Loved my membership with them. Really flexible, much better than owning a boat.
The team is awesome & really helpful. Training was exceptional

Great all round boating experience

Was a complete boating novice prior to joining - Pacific Boating provided comprehensive training prior to membership start. True to the promise of “walk on walk off” which makes the experience easy and stress free. The team are very friendly and always happy to help. Boats are well maintained and easy to drive.

Would highly recommend joining in lieu of boat ownership if you’re seeking to minimise hassle and cost.

Making boating easy and great value

I’ve had the pleasure of being a member of Pacific Boating Group for five years.
Many of the staff are still working there, a testament to the quality of the company, seemingly happy and as helpful as ever. My boat of choice - the 52 foot luxury cruiser has hosted many special occasions – birthdays rare get-togethers. This is by far and away the best option if you prefer not to buy a boat yourself and all the headaches that come with ownership. Just get on and drive!

Fantastic training

I did all my research on PB and everything I read was true. Jeremy Dench and the guys really look after you and make you feel so comfortable when walking on to a big boat. It was a challenge only having a dozen drives of a single engine tinny and jumping up to a 44 footer, however, I cant speak highly enough of my trainer Nick Miles, he had so much patience with me and kept building my confidence that I passed my test and can't wait to take the family and friends out this weekend. I highly recommend Pacific Boating as they are very affordable, all boats are in great condition and are in very handy locations. GIVE THEM A GO!

The best addition to our Sydney lifestyle!

It has been a pleasure being members of Pacific Boating and dealing with the lovely teams both on Sydney Harbour and at Pittwater. The training to get started was thorough without being too taxing and the walk on / walk off nature of this service has been stress-free and terrific for entertaining groups of friends. The team members have always been willing to offer extra knowledge and assistance at every request. The night navigation training was awesome and opened up a whole new layer of enjoyment for us!

Highly Recommend

We as a family have loved our time with Pacific Boating both on the Harbour and at Pittwater. The staff couldn't be more helpful and the walk on walk off suits a busy family. The training was excellent and put us at ease. We couldn't recommend more!

Pacific Boating is Fantastic!

The quality of the boats, how well they are presented, maintained, always clean, and then there is the amazing team of very helpful and knowledgeable people. PB provide as much training as you feel you need so that you are comfortable at the helm. You can literally walk on, enjoy a beautiful day on Sydney Harbour or Pittwater/ Hawkesbury and walk off when you return and the PB team take care of everything else, the service is amazing! Thank you guys.

All the gear and no Idea

I had delusions of grandure thinking about getting my own boat. I was literally going to buy it all myself and yes I had no idea what I was doing. I was skeptical going into a Boat Share or Subscription model. I heard some bad stories from friends about their experience. I have never been happier. The Team there at Pacific Boating are amazing. Subscription is the way to go but ontop of an awesome boat your also get amazing customer service. Nothing is ever to difficuly for these folks. JThey UNDERSTAND customer experience. Thanks all at PB.

Awesome Experience

What a Boat and what a Team!
First up the boys at Pacific are professional and extremely helpful, also the trainers are great, and you don't feel any pressure.
We had the 55ft and my god what a way to entertain clients, who are just board of the same old day at the footy or cricket.
The number of comments we got, about this being the best experience is huge, not only from our clients but their partners and our families.
Can't recommend highly enough. Thanks to the Team at Pacific Boating

The Best

Sydney Harbour and Pittwater.
The calm and serenity once out on these waterways are priceless and Pacific Boating does it the best.
The selection of boats is absolutely perfect for either relaxing or entertaining and the pre-training and onboarding are second to none.
Thank you to the team at Pacific Boating for making it such a seamless operation.

A great team - makes getting on the water so easy and so fun!

After being apprehensive about a "boating club" membership we hit the button and joined in March 2022. without any prior experience we were trained by the team and felt confident taking out the boat alone.
It has been an absolutely perfect experience - from sign up to boat usage the team are fantastic and the boats really well maintained.
Not having to worry about maintenance and cleaning makes all the difference - true walk on walk off service.
As a business tool taking clients out on the water is more costs effective than a sydney restaurant, and the experience so much better.
Cannot recommend pacific boating enough - to Phil, Jeremy and the team - well done!

How come four pages (2 to 5) of 5 star reviews came from reviewers who joined between Sept 22 and Sept 25 2012?

Indeed, and all have only ever made 1 review!

Absolutely totally obvious that it's Pacific Boating themselves - the reviews are very similar in addition to the joining date and just 1 review

It's an interesting question so I asked them. They periodically contact their membership base and ask them to provide a review and that's why they tend to come in clumps.

They now have over 250 members with 18 boats across 3 bases (Rose Bay, Cabarita & Pittwater).

If you are going to be cynical, at least ask a few questions before passing judgement. They have just celebrated 10 years so something must be working!!!
