Spring is finally here in Sydney! ☀️ The days are longer, the weather is warmer, and the water is calling your name.

But after a long, quiet winter, is your boat as ready as you are?

Months of inactivity can be tough on a vessel. Batteries lose charge, fuel can go stale, and small, unseen issues can develop. The last thing you want is for your first trip of the season to be cut short by a problem that could have been easily spotted beforehand.

Before you cast off, let's make sure your boat is safe, reliable, and ready for a great season. BoatsAlive comes to your mooring to perform a comprehensive check-up:

Engine run-up to operating temperature

Battery health and fluid level checks

A full visual inspection, inside and out

Start your boating season with confidence. Book a one-off inspection today and avoid those costly surprises.

It's certainly been a remarkably wet period for Sydney, as ABC Sydney highlights! This prolonged rainfall creates a number of specific risks for boat owners around the harbour. From increased debris and strain on moorings to the less obvious dangers of persistent moisture leading to mould and electrical issues, there's a lot to consider. We've put together a detailed checklist on our website at https://boatsalive.com/after-the-downpour-why-sydneys-recent-rainfall-raises-risk-for-boat-owners-and-what-to-do-about-it/ outlining what boat owners should be checking after these downpours. Stay safe out there!"

Sydney's wettest August in 27 years has tipped the city's recent climate into uncharted territory.

Analysing the complete weather history at Observatory Hill dating back to 1858 reveals rainfall during the past six years has been the most on record.

Since January 2020, the city has collected more than 9,300 millimetres — beating the old record of 9,120mm from 1985 to 1990.

Considering heavy rain will continue this week and more than four months remain in 2025, the record total will surge even further above all previous six-year intervals by the end of December.
