Sydney Harbour · King Street Wharf · Private charters
Your yacht is reserved for your charter group — no shared public cruise.
Hourly charter rates start from the lowest published rate in the current fleet.
Guest capacity varies by yacht, from intimate groups to the largest vessel in the fleet.
Your birthday. Your charter.
A private charter gives your group the whole yacht — the decks, the shade, the water and the view — for the length of the charter. There is no shared timetable and no other guests onboard.
Cruise past the landmarks, spend longer where your group is enjoying itself, and shape the charter around the occasion rather than around a fixed sightseeing route.

Your birthday. Your charter.
There is no single way to celebrate on Sydney Harbour. Keep things relaxed with food and drinks, turn up the atmosphere with music, stop for a swim when conditions allow, or simply spend the day cruising with your favourite people.
Bring your group together with space to eat, drink, talk and celebrate.
On suitable charters and when conditions allow, anchor somewhere sheltered and get in the water.
Spend the rest of the charter moving between harbour views, landmarks and wherever the day takes you.
Your harbour
Your charter can be shaped around your group. Cruise past Sydney Harbour landmarks, spend more time in a favourite part of the harbour or include a swimming stop where the yacht, conditions and charter allow. The illustrated circuit is an example route, not a fixed itinerary.
Explore the Sydney Harbour circuitTake in the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and the city skyline from the water.
Where conditions and your selected yacht allow, time at a sheltered anchorage can form part of the charter.
The yacht is yours for the charter — your group, your music, your pace.
Spend the charter cruising the parts of Sydney Harbour that suit your plans.
