Our Bowrider Speedy is powered by a 100 HP Honda outboard motor that offers our customers with a unique soft ride. They flex to absorb the impact of the sea and works like car shock absorbers, not like your standard aluminium tinny.

When winds are above 15 knots, we can safely continue to operating made possible by our appropriate position in the harbour and river, different from hire companies that are exposed in rougher waters of the bay.

Non-licensed drivers can now fish in Hobsons Bay and Williamstown. Please note that non-licensed drivers can still hire our Bowriders but under restricted speed allowable to non-licensed holders.

Please note:
The speed limit of 5 knots only between Docklands and Westgate bridge and the speed limit of 8 knots only between Westgate bridge and Williams town breakwater. A security bond of $500 is required prior to boarding and booking is non-refundable but can only be deferred to a later date.
