The Ultimate Summer Loving Boats
If you’re looking for the perfect way to enjoy Sydney Harbour, hiring a private catamaran is hard to beat. With plenty of deck space, stability on the water, and a relaxed, social layout, catamarans are ideal for everything from casual parties to corporate events and scenic cruising. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a hens or bucks party, or just gathering friends for a great day out, a catamaran offers the perfect balance of comfort, fun, and unbeatable harbour views.
Why Choose a Catamaran?
Catamarans are known for their spacious design and smooth ride, making them one of the most popular vessel types for private cruises. Unlike monohull boats, catamarans have two hulls and a wide deck, which means more room to move, sit, and socialise. Most catamarans feature a mix of indoor and outdoor space, shaded seating, swim platforms, and easy access to the water—making them perfect for summer days, relaxed cruising, or even a dip in a quiet bay.
Great for Any Occasion
Catamarans are ideal for a wide range of events, including:
🎉 Birthday Parties – Celebrate with friends and family on a boat that’s made for mingling and dancing.
👰 Hens & Bucks Parties – Enjoy BYO drinks, onboard BBQs, music, and optional entertainment.
🏢 Corporate Cruises – A unique and casual venue to entertain clients or reward staff.
🎄 Christmas Parties – End the year with food, drinks, and a cruise under the summer sun.
🏙️ Sightseeing Cruises – Take in the best of Sydney Harbour with room to relax, eat, and enjoy.
☀️ Casual Gatherings – Sometimes you just want to get out on the water—and a catamaran is perfect for that too.
