He also has a front compartment where he keeps his set of tools which he uses in certain situations. His catchphrase is “Spinnaker, fly!” He is voiced by Samson Hyland.
* Zip is a feisty, young female trainee water taxi who is Sydney's best friend. She dreams of becoming the best water taxi in the whole harbor.[4] Her catchphrase is “Hoop-dee-doo!” She is voiced by Frederique Sims.
* Terry is a strong male tugboat, who is the leader of the fleet, and keeps Bubble Bath Bay in order. His catchphrase is "Anchors aweigh!"[4] Voiced by Colin Friels.
