About Adelaide

Why is Adelaide a good sailing destination?

At Yachting.Rent, we’re passionate about sharing our love for Adelaide, South Australia, as a premier sailing destination. There are countless reasons why Adelaide is perfect for your next yacht charter, and here are just a few.

Situated on the Gulf of St. Vincent, Adelaide boasts a glorious Mediterranean-style climate, offering excellent sailing conditions for most of the year. The breezes are steady, and the waters of the Gulf are calm, providing an exceptional environment for both beginners and seasoned sailors.

The coastal waters around Adelaide are home to a rich diversity of marine life. During your yacht charter, you may have the chance to spot dolphins frolicking in the surf or seals basking on the rocks. The region is also a birdwatcher’s paradise with numerous species gracing the skies and shores.

Adelaide’s coastline is studded with beautiful beaches, hidden coves, and charming seaside towns, waiting to be explored. Each offers its own unique experience, from the bustling restaurant scene of Glenelg to the tranquil beaches of Kangaroo Island. Anchoring in different locations allows you to experience South Australia’s stunning landscapes and vibrant culture at your own pace.

For those seeking more adventurous pursuits, Adelaide’s waters are perfect for a range of water sports, from snorkelling and scuba diving to surfing and fishing. The region’s clear waters provide excellent visibility for exploring underwater ecosystems and shipwrecks.

What makes Adelaide truly special is its proximity to world-class vineyards. A short trip inland from the marina takes you to the celebrated wine regions of the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, where you can sample some of Australia’s best wines.

Embark on your sailing adventure with Yachting.Rent in Adelaide, South Australia, and explore the wealth of experiences this remarkable destination has to offer. Let the winds guide you to a world of coastal beauty, rich culture, and exciting water adventures. Your unforgettable sailing journey begins here

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Adelaide

Embarking on a sailing adventure in Adelaide, South Australia with Yachting.Rent gives you the power to choose between the exhilarating speed of a sailing boat or the luxurious comfort of a catamaran. Both options offer unique advantages, making your journey on the waters of the Gulf St. Vincent an unforgettable experience.

Sailing boats are the traditional choice for those seeking to experience the thrill of harnessing the wind. Agile and responsive, sailing boats offer a hands-on experience and the opportunity to learn the craft of sailing. With a lean hull, they are built for speed, slicing through the waves, and can take you to your destination quickly. They are perfect for day trips, weekend getaways, or challenging sailing adventures across longer distances.

On the other hand, catamarans provide an entirely different sailing experience. With their two hulls, catamarans offer greater stability, making them an ideal choice for those seeking a relaxed and comfortable voyage. They are excellent for families or groups as they provide more space and comfort, with expansive decks and cabins for everyone to stretch out and relax. Their shallow draft also allows you to anchor closer to the shore, perfect for exploring Adelaide’s coastline and secluded coves.

Adelaide’s consistent winds and calm waters make it an excellent destination for both types of vessels. The sailing boat can take advantage of the steady breezes for a swift and exciting sail, while the catamaran can offer a stable and comfortable cruise to enjoy the picturesque coastline.

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor eager to feel the wind in your sails, or a relaxed cruiser looking to soak up the sun on a spacious deck, Yachting.Rent can provide the perfect vessel for your adventure. So, sailboat or catamaran? The choice is yours. Set sail in Adelaide, South Australia, and make lasting memories on the azure waters.

The Best Boat Hire in Adelaide

Disclosure: We love how our audience helps us grow. This post may contain affiliate links. Please check our disclosure policy for more information.

Adelaide is blessed with a beautiful coastline just waiting to be explored. Over the last few years, local boat rentals that offer private boat hire in Adelaide have been popping up all around the city! Compared to the East Coast, there are only a select few to choose from. But know that the teams running these hire operations are super passionate due to the amount of South Australian red tape they’ve had to get through to get up and running!

Whether you are looking for your next serious fishing boat hire, boat tuition to get more confidence, cruising along with friends and family on a lazy weekend, fun watersports, the ultimate party boat, a day on the water celebrating Australia Day or just to chill out, there really is something for everyone.

And let’s admit it, owning a boat can be a bit of a hassle . And an expensive hassle too! But by hiring a boat with one of these self-drive boat hires, not only do they launch and retrieve the boat for you (saving valuable time and stress queuing at the boat ramp), they offer induction and safety briefings, all the safety equipment needed and advice on local destinations and fishing spots. To make the experience even better, they also offer equipment to hire (fishing rods, eskies, etc), bait to purchase as well as an ultimate finale – cleaning the boat for you at the end of a windswept day. Perfect!

All of these reasons are why we chose to sell our boat and just hire one whenever we wanted to get out on the water. This has undoubtedly been cheaper over a 12 month period and much less hassle!

There is a range of self-drive hires where a boat licence is required. But there are also tuition hires, BBQ boats, River Cruisers and Charter hires where a boat licence isn’t needed to get you out on the water in no time! All of these boat rentals are within close proximity of Adelaide’s CBD.

Why not also check out our Top 12 Adelaide Boat Trips & Water Adventures post for the best water experiences – no boat licence required! Or thinking about getting your licence? Find out how to get your South Australian Boat Licence in this post or  find a local boat licence course near you .

We’ve done our fair share of boat hiring across Adelaide, and here are some of our favourites:

Self-Drive Boat Hire

1. b.a. boat hire.

What we love about Ben and his team at B.A. Boat Hire is that they’ve grown over the past couple of years to become one of the best Boat Hires in Adelaide. They now have 2 boats in the water – their 4.8m Bluefin Weekender and their new addition, a 6.5 Amara Centre Cabin – both perfect for South Australian Waters.

Check out our post about spending a day out on the water with B.A. Boat Hire or if you want to find out more about Ben and the team, read this informative conversation we had all about their boat hire in Adelaide and across South Australia .

B.A. Boat Hire also offers a range of Adelaide Fishing Charters to make it even easier for you to get out on the water!

The Vessels

Both vessels require a boat licence and are already available in the water, so you can walk on and walk off from North Haven or West Beach boat ramps. Both vessels are also available for towing to create your own adventure! Hire is available for half days, full days, weekends and extended hires.

Their smaller vessel, the Bluefin Weekender, licensed for 4 passengers, is ideal for someone who has just passed their boat licence or looking for an easy cruise, as this vessel is one of the easiest around to operate. With a 60hp Mercury 4-stroke engine, we can vouch for this easy handling as we loved the morning cruise we took last year in the Weekender! It’s stable, reactive, reliable and perfect for us bagging out on crabs during a stunning autumn morning.

Their newer, larger vessel, the Amara Centre Cabin, licensed for 6 passengers, is for the more serious water adventure. Centre Cabs are known for making some seriously dedicated fishing simple with their large decks and walk-around cabs, but easy work for a great family day out with plenty of room for 6 people. The added bonus to the Centre Cab is that it comes with a toilet for those full days out on the water.

Both vessels come with peace of mind that they are AMSA surveyed, have all quality safety equipment on board, Hummingbird GPS/fish finders with pre-loaded fishing spots, rod holders, bait boards, radio and shade – either a shade cover or the centre cab.

B.A. Boat Hire can also make quality fishing gear, eskies, and tackle boxes available at an additional cost for the perfect hassle-free day.

B.A. Boat can be launched from North Haven Boat Ramp and West Beach Boat Ramp.

Alternatively, you can tow the boat and trailer yourself (depending on meeting vehicle requirements) and head towards the Murray River, Riverland, Fleurieu Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula and beyond!

Boat tuition is also available – a boat licence is required.

Check out their website for more details, how to book and FAQ’s including the weights of each vessel if considering towing.

2. Port Adelaide Boat Hire

***Port Adelaide Boat Hire is no longer in operation***

The team at Port Adelaide are the latest kids on the block, turning Port Adelaide into the water playground it deserves. The Port is changing with so much residential and commercial development going on, so remember to book ahead with these guys as this area is getting busier and busier.

What started out as a couple of tinnies available from St. Kilda, Port Adelaide Boat Hire has grown into a daily operation from Port Adelaide Wharf. You can’t miss their blue information shed right on the water’s edge and offer a range of activities, not just boat hire.

Port Adelaide Boat Hire has 2 vessels – their 6.1m Bar Crusher, one of Australia’s favourite boats, and a 4m Tinny, both available for hire. For you to take the boat out on your own, you will need a valid boat licence that can be readily launched. And it’s not just Port Adelaide you can leave from. They also launch from North Haven boat ramp, Snowdens Beach and St. Kilda.

If we can give one bit of advice when it comes to using Port Adelaide Boat Hire, it is to consider where you are launching from. If you want to head out to sea from Port Adelaide, remember that it can take around 45 mins when sticking to the speed restrictions to travel along the Port River and Lipson Reach to reach the open water. Whilst this is a great way to explore the history and industry along South Australia’s largest port, it can be time-consuming, especially during a half-day hire. You would be better off launching straight from North Haven. Alternatively, have a chat with the team and see if you can launch and return from different locations.

Boat Tuition

Port Adelaide Boat Hire also offers a unique service in South Australia. Boat Tuition is available for anyone thinking about getting their South Australian boat licence or recently got one. Getting a boat licence in South Australia is one of the few licences you can get without actually having to do any practical assessment so offering this service makes perfect sense.

Maybe this is ideal for you if you are looking to get some extra confidence or have never driven a boat before. It would also make a perfect gift for someone special who is in the same boat (pun intended!). It could even be that you are considering purchasing a Bar Crusher – a perfect way to try before you buy.

Their boat tuition experience takes you through everything you need to know to be your very own skipper. From launching, handling, towing and steering, your ability to handle a boat in and out of the water will no doubt be greatly improved. And the best bit is, you can custom this tuition to your needs. If you know you’ll only ever use a tinny, perfect, just learn by using theirs. Or if you want to go big and bold, get behind the Bar Crusher and find out what Australia’s addiction to boating is all about!

You can choose how long and where you feel you’d like to improve. Alternatively, they can work out a perfect beginners course to give you the skills and knowledge you need for your boat licence, or to reinforce what you just learnt by sitting your licence. Tuition takes place along the Port River, which is an ideal environment to learn in – often protected by the elements, reasonably calm most of the year and plenty of space to perfect those turns.

Advanced boating tuition sessions are also available that include boat hire, fuel and tuition.

For more information about their boat tuition, check out their website.

Other activities

They also offer some other family activities to help get you out on the water.

Jump onboard their new Eco Tours, one of the few small boat tours available in Adelaide. Take the popular 2-hour tour as you venture right into the depths of the Port River, sharing the resident dolphins’ playground and exploring areas many cannot get to. Being on a smaller vessel, you can get amongst the mangroves, weave between the shipwrecks and spot as much wildlife as your eyes can take. Why not custom your own trip, perhaps even a night river tour?! Did we tell you Port Adelaide was seriously haunted?!

Or how about taking out one of their Paddle Boats and relaxing along the river…

Fancy kayaking? Explore all the hard to get to places, head towards Garden Island, watch out for playful dolphins who love to be nosey and discover the mysterious shipyard graves amongst the mangroves. The ideal way to have a water adventure at your own pace!

If you are looking for more information about Port Adelaide, check out our Port Adelaide Destination Guide for how to make the most of this unique South Australian Port!

Find lots more information about Port Adelaide Boat Hire on their website.

3. SA Boat Hire

SA Boat Hire is one of the longest-standing boat hire companies in Adelaide. Located in North Haven, the boat can be moored ready for your launch, or you can tow it to your destination. It comes fully equipped with all safety equipment, a Bimini for sun protection, GPS with fishing locations and a fish finder. SA Boat Hire also offers a range of other equipment to help make your adventure on the water hassle-free.

We personally don’t have experience with SA Boat Hire. After trying several times to book, we found the response to be that it was fully booked/unavailable. This may have changed with new boat hire operations now in full force in Adelaide, but just something we wanted to make you aware of.

SA Boat Hire offers an 1802 Trophy Fishing Boat with either a 2 or 4 stroke engine. This vessel is a good size to walk around, perfect when fishing or cruising along enjoying the sun. This is also a cut-out cabin making an ideal space to relax or get out of the elements if needed.

Services are offered for full days only with a difference in pricing for walk on, walk off and pick up and tow options.

A bond of $1000 is required and will be refunded provided there is no damage to the vessel or equipment.

For more information, check out their website.

4. Show & Go

Show & Go, located on Brighton Road, Somerton Park, are more known for its motorcycle rentals but does also have a couple of boats for hire. These boats are available on trailers only and not for a walk on, walk off service.

We also don’t have experience in using Show & Go hire services as we struggled with their availability. However, we have seen the boats at the back of their store in Somerton Park, and all we can say is that they look well used. We got the impression when trying to book that regulars use these vessels and have done for a while. That’s all we are saying!

Show & Go offer a 4.5m Brooker 40HP vessel with forward controls and an electric start. A fold-down Bimini is available for shade and comes with all safety equipment. The boat is licensed for 4 people and has night navigational lights for night use.

They also have a 3.1m Stacer which is available with no engine. Alternatively, a 5HP Mariner Engine can be hired for use.

Find more information on their website about pricing and how to contact Show & Go directly.

River Boats for Hire

These round inflatable boats are becoming a popular way to chill out on the water and to no surprise because this experience is the ultimate way to enjoy relaxing on the water.

5. BBQ Buoys

BBQ Buoys offer a range of alcohol (no BYO alcohol, and the skipper needs to be well behaved) and food packages, consisting of meat and grazing platters. But you can take your own food too. Onboard you’ll find the use of a centrally located BBQ for everyone (or wooden board if a BBQ is not required), table, esky, ice, cutlery, plates, cups and the all-important Bluetooth speakers. Perfect for any special occasion!

There are traditional packages available for 2 people right through to 10 people along with special events such as New Year’s Eve and Date Nights!

A boat licence is not needed to hire a BBQ Buoy, but a car licence is needed, and to be at least 21 years of age.

The more mates you bring along for fun, the cheaper the experience! For more information and to find out about their Drinks & Food Menu, check out the pricing section of their website.

6. Portobello River Cruises

The latest edition to the new inflatable trend in Adelaide is the Portobello River Cruises. These inflatable vessels are a unique way to enjoy the gorgeous Port River with its resident dolphins, especially during a magical sunset.

Portobello Food.Kitchen.Bar is a locally well-known waterfront cafe/restaurant situated in New Port, just next to Port Adelaide. This experience brings their culinary delights floating outdoors, taking alfresco to a whole new level!

Portobello River Cruisers seat from 1 – 6 people with ample space to enjoy the setting. Food and drinks can be pre-ordered from the onboard menu. There aren’t any cooking facilities onboard but trust us, you won’t want them when you see what’s on offer from Portobello! There is something for everyone with a range of snacks, platters, pizzas, wine, beers, ciders and soft drinks.

Check out their onboard menu for more information.

Follow this link to start booking this great experience!

Whether it’s a special romantic date to sail off into the sunset, an anniversary to celebrate all those years, a wedding in true style, a milestone birthday or just an excuse to hire a party boat, here are some of our favourite Chartered Yachts for hire in Adelaide:

First look: Four Seasons Yachts to set sail in 2026

The Canadian hotel group is now afloat with 10 cruise offerings.

Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News.

Set to sail in 2026.

Everyone from Ritz Carlton to Belmond and Aman have recently announced they are going to expand their hotel offerings from land to sea. Muscling on traditional super-yacht territory and blurring the lines between cruise ship and luxury hotel, Four Seasons is the latest to pull away from the dock.

The new vessels will have 95 suites and the first 10 itineraries will focus on the Mediterranean and Caribbean. Which translates into 130 distinct destinations across over 30 countries and territories. The first Four Seasons Yacht, currently under construction in Ancona, Italy, will welcome its first guests from January 2026 with a seven night jaunt around Saint Barthélemy (St Barths), Nevis, the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Curaçao and Aruba.

If the Med is more your jam, Four Seasons Yachts will be cruising there in March 2026 with sailings through Croatia, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Türkiye. Greece will also be a focus with stops in Athens, Ios, Santorini and Milos.

A sense of space

If you've ever been on a cruise boat, you'll know the cabins can be a tad squishy. Even the pricey ones. However, under the guidance of the marvellously named  Creative Director Prosper Assouline (of eponymous book publishing fame), Four Seasons promises "50 per cent more living space per guest than currently available with any competitor at sea". We're talking all suites with floor-to-ceiling windows, double vanity bathrooms with spacious showers and private terraces - as opposed to mere balconies. 

One of the cleverest aspects of the vessels is modular walls in the signature suites which can be reconfigured for various groups of travellers. That means that if you're on board with the fam there will be a more than 100 different interconnection options. If you have the cash or the crowd, you reserve an entire side of a deck amid your  1,200 square metres of total living space. Again remember, we are on a boat here.

Suite surrender

According to Four Seasons, "The largest accommodations are seven signature suites ranging from 277 to 927 square metres of indoor and outdoor living space. They offer two to three bedrooms, separate living rooms, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, splash pools, outdoor showers and the option to connect to additional suites." If you're bent on living large(r), the Funnel and Loft Suites will sway you.  Both feature three bedrooms, outdoor showers and splash pools but it's the Funnel that tops out the offering with four levels and  wraparound windows, made up of the largest contiguous piece of glass at sea, offering 280-degree panoramic views. And did we mention the 1:1 staff ratio throughout the liner?

More Coverage

One last thing.

There are 11 dining options on board - which it what you'd expect from The Four Seasons - but the pool warrants a mention. At almost 19 metres long and five wide, it's a monster for the industry and the pool deck itself features a hydraulic design that allows it to level out, creating a private events space.
