Board your private vessel at a mutually agreed pickup point (e.g., Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Rose Bay). Cruise under the Harbour Bridge and past the iconic Sydney Opera House. Explore hidden coves and beaches with views of Barangaroo, Lavender Bay, and Point Piper. Sail toward Watsons Bay and Sydney Heads for panoramic harbour and ocean vistas. Optional stop or anchor for photos, toasts, or relaxation on the water. Return to your preferred drop-off point, feeling refreshed and inspired.

What’s included in the cost of the charter?

The base rate of $550 per hour includes a private boat charter for up to 10 people, a knowledgeable local skipper, and a fully customizable route around Sydney Harbour. You choose the duration, the pick-up and drop-off location, and the landmarks you want to see—from the Opera House to Watsons Bay. Optional food and beverage packages are available on request to enhance your experience.

How long should we book to see all the key harbour sights?

We recommend a 3-hour charter for the full experience. This allows enough time to cruise past iconic sights like the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Darling Harbour, and Sydney Heads, with time to relax, take photos, and enjoy the water. Shorter trips (1–2 hours) are also available for those wanting a quicker scenic escape.

Can we bring our own food and drinks on board?

Yes! You’re welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks, or you can add an optional catering package tailored to your group’s preferences. From light refreshments to gourmet platters, we can elevate your harbour experience to suit casual picnics or special celebrations.

Is this suitable for special events or celebrations?

Absolutely. This private water charter is ideal for birthdays, proposals, family outings, anniversaries, or small corporate groups. It’s a stylish and memorable way to experience Sydney Harbour, with the entire boat reserved exclusively for your group.

Is the charter customizable? Can I choose where we go?

Yes—100% customizable. Let us know your preferred sights or photo stops, and we’ll design the perfect route. Whether you want to explore the hidden coves of Watsons Bay, cruise under the Harbour Bridge, or just relax with panoramic views—we’ll tailor it to your vision.

Where does the charter depart from?

Pick-up and drop-off can be arranged at multiple points around the harbour, including Circular Quay, Barangaroo, Rose Bay, and Darling Harbour. Let us know your location when booking, and we’ll confirm the most convenient option for your group.

What should we bring on board?

We recommend comfortable clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a light jacket—especially in the cooler months or for sunset cruises. And don’t forget your phone or camera—the views are stunning from every angle.
