Jet Thrill - Cockle Bay

DARLING HARBOUR  

This 45minute thrilling experience will have your adrenalin pumping!! As we depart the calm waters of Cockle Bay passing between Sydney Aquarium and the Maritime Museum we wave to people who wish they were you.

Then we head out into the main harbour.  Hold on tight as your driver unleashes the power of our massive diesel engines! Now it is time to give you a taste of what jet boating is about - from radical fishtails, awesome spins to amazing power brake stops.

We head under the Harbour Bridge, past the Opera House and fishtail all the way to Watsons Bay where we spin about and make our way back past Bradley's Head, Kirribilli and Luna Park and re-enter cockle bay with huge grins and applause for our fabulous drivers!

Regular rides depart 11am till sunset, every day except Christmas subject to weather and scheduling.

Our Boats

Our vessels are 9 metres in length and generate 710 horsepower from twin turbo charged Ultrajet-Cummins diesel engines that recycle 760 litres of water a second!
 

Due to the size and passenger capacity of 23 people per boat, the awesome power to weight ratio gives us the ability to provide the most exhilarating ride on Sydney Harbour and surrounding waterways!

Our boats are well maintained by expert engineers. Unlike conventional boats, jet boats utilise an internal propeller (impeller) to provide propulsion. Water is drawn in through an inlet in the bottom of the boat, then driven out through a nozzle at the rear with great force.

Turning is accomplished by moving the nozzle left to right. Breaking and reverse are achieved by using a deflector, similar to the reverse thrust deflector on a jet aircraft.

Where To Find Us Sydney Jet rides depart from Cockle Bay Wharf, Darling Harbour, Sydney. Rides operate every day except Christmas on the hour from 11am subject to weather, minimum numbers and availability.
