About this experience
Unlike a scheduled sightseeing cruise, this three-hour experience gives you exclusive use of a private catamaran. Instead of sharing a large tour boat with hundreds of other passengers, you can relax with only your family and friends.
Your qualified skipper and crew can tailor the route to suit your group and harbour conditions. Cruise past the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Fort Denison and Kirribilli, then discover quieter islands, beaches and bays such as Shark Island, Clark Island, Athol Bay, Camp Cove and Milk Beach.
The spacious 34 foot catamaran has comfortable indoor and outdoor areas, room to move around and uninterrupted views. Its stable twin-hull design is ideal for smaller groups, and we can get in close to beaches unlike the huge cruise boats. You can also bring your own food and drinks.
It is more than a sightseeing cruise—it is your own private Sydney Harbour experience.

Itinerary and highlights
We will cruise the spectacular Sydney Habour Bays, Beaches and Islands, and see up close from a lovely catamaran boat icons such the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House, Farm Cove, Fort Denison, Double Bay, Clark Island, Rose Bay, Shark Island, Taylors Bay, Athol Bay, Cremorne, Kirribilli and Goat Island.
Our skippers and crew will provide interesting insights into the history and culture of these landmarks.
As your catamaran sails east around the stunning Barangaroo Reserve, the magnificent Sydney Harbour Bridge suddenly reveals itself in all its glory. Towering 134 metres above the sparkling harbour, this world-famous icon is an unforgettable sight.
As you continue your journey, the world-famous Sydney Opera House comes into full view, its gleaming white sails rising gracefully above the harbour. One of the most recognised buildings on the planet and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Opera House is an architectural masterpiece best admired from the water. From this unique vantage point, you'll capture spectacular photographs while appreciating the beauty, scale and elegance of Australia's most iconic landmark.
Nestled beneath the leafy shores of Bradleys Head, Athol Bay is one of Sydney Harbour's hidden gems. With its crystal-clear waters, secluded sandy beach and spectacular backdrop of the Harbour Bridge and city skyline, it's easy to see why this peaceful cove is a favourite with locals. From the comfort of your catamaran, you'll experience the tranquil beauty of this picturesque bay while discovering a side of Sydney that many visitors never get to see.
Standing proudly in the middle of Sydney Harbour, Fort Denison is one of the city's most fascinating historic landmarks. Once used as a defensive fortress, military garrison and even a prison, this small sandstone island has played an important role in Sydney's history for over 170 years. As you cruise past, your skipper will share stories of its colourful past while you enjoy uninterrupted views of this unique island surrounded by the sparkling waters of the harbour.
