Boat Hire and Bad Weather

Boat hire in Sydney has seen a wet start to the summer season, but this doesn’t mean that any charter boats have had to cancel cruises. As far as we know, only one cruise has been cancelled due to all of this weather, mainly due to an issue with the wind. I often get asked about what will happen if it rains on the day of a cruise, and the answer is this. If it happens to rain, there is no need to worry. Your boat hire will not be cancelled unless it is unsafe to go out. I have never seen a day in Sydney Harbour where it is unsafe to go out. If you are concerned that you will not have as much fun on your harbour cruise during the rain, you don’t have to worry. After working with Sydney charter boats for many years, I can honestly say that people have more fun on rainy days than on sunny days. The rain tends to force people undercover, where they all mingle with each other and really make a party of it. It looks like the worst of the bad weather may be behind us now, so it should all be smooth sailing from here (excuse the pun), and with any luck, the rest of the season will see beautiful blue skies and sunny days ahead to ensure your boat hire is perfect.
