With a New Year’s Eve cruise Sydney, you’ll enjoy front-row views of the world-famous fireworks, epic harbour scenery and a celebration you’ll never forget. Sydney’s New Year’s Eve fireworks are world-renowned — and the best way to experience them is from the water. A private boat gives you exclusive views, space to celebrate and an unbeatable atmosphere.
At Easy Boat Hire, we offer private boat hire for NYE parties of all sizes. Whether you’re planning something intimate or an all-out party, our fully crewed cruises let you ring in the new year in total style — without the crowds, queues, or chaos.
Charters are generally 6-7 hours duration and start from 6pm so you can catch the family fireworks at 9pm and the midnight fireworks at 12am. New Years Eve cruises are the most popular event of the year and boats do get booked out far in advance, so get in quick.
Your cruise begins in the daylight with the glistening blue water. As the sun sets and the romantic mood sets in with it, you start to feel the magic is about to happen. After a few glasses of bubbly it’s thunder and lightning as the outdoor disco begins. Your boat rocks in a smoky haze of fluorescent lights and pounding music. It’s simply the best party in the world.
Popular vantage points on the water include Circular Quay, Birchgrove Head, Lavender Bay, Milsons Point, Botanical Gardens (Farm Cove), Campbells Cove (The Rocks), Darling Point, Barangaroo Foreshore, Walsh Bay, around Clark & Cockatoo Islands (where island parties take place), Rose Bay, Watsons Bay and Middle Harbour (Mosman).
The typical schedule of events includes a flying airplane show at 8.00pm, the projection of lights at 8.30pm, family fireworks at 9.15pm and the magical midnight fireworks.
