Private Sydney Boat Cruise Explore Icons Beaches and Bays

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

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.

    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.

    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.
