Recent reviews in sydney.

Great skipper, with a fab boat. Mark made our day extra special, showing us around the harbour sharing and his knowledge. We got some great photos thanks to him choosing the best spots! We felt like the boat was ours, would definitely recommend Mark, great day!

Mark was absolutely magnificent and helped a really special evening run perfectly. His boat was immaculate. The day wouldn’t have been as memorable without him. His communication before and during the boat trip was brilliant too, alongside his advice. Thanks for everything, Mark!

Perfect way to combine a 21st celebration, seeing Sydney’s waterside highlights and having a bit of fun. Mark was charming, knowledgable and flexible, the boat classically handsome, comfortable and with a good turn of speed, and the whole package great value.

We had an excellent trip with Carlo who took me and wife around Sydney Harbour and Rose Bay for our wedding anniversary. He helped cook our food and made the day special for us. The boat was clean and had all the necessarily facilities, including a lilypad and a stand up paddle-board to use

Frank was so accommodating. I really enjoyed him and he went out of his way to make our entire experience perfect! His experience really showed in his ability to position the boat in the perfect spot and knew where the best views were in the harbour.

A fantastic day around our beautiful Sydney Harbour with Robyn and Captain Elaine. The boat was kept immaculate, and both Robyn & the Captain were very accomodating and knowledgeable. Really lovely to spend the day with them, and a delight to be onboard. Our guests had a great time. We will definitely be back! The Quinns

Need a boat charter for a cruise with colleagues, clients or partners? At Eastcoast Sailing, we provide function boats for businesses looking to host corporate events on Sydney Harbour!

Guests are encouraged to rotate around the crewing positions on the sailing yacht, including main sheet, headsail, navigator, captain and even steering the helm.

We have several racing yachts on our fleet suitable for corporate cruises and sailing regatta days. These include Margaret Rintoul V, and the Beneteau First 40 racing yacht.

‘Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the day, especially our international guests. The weather was perfect and the crew were very friendly which made it a very enjoyable day for the team.

Tips for responsible boating

If you’re looking to explore our beautiful planet, a yacht charter is a great place to start. Explore coral reefs with your snorkel, discover hidden bays and islands and generally enjoy the view of nature. Remember, that sailing motto:  'Take only photos, leave only wake'  (OK, so we paraphrased). To be a responsible sailor, remember:

• Don’t disturb coral or sealife
• Take your trash home (and don’t throw anything in the sea)
• Respect the locals and their customs wherever you go

Yachts & Boats For Hire in Sydney Harbour

We offer a wide range of handpicked luxury charter yachts and boats readily available for hire in Sydney. Sydney Harbour is an aquatic playground for Sydneysiders and is home to one of the world’s most beautiful and natural harbours. It’s best known for its harbour-front Sydney Opera House, the iconic Harbour Bridge, Darling Harbour and the Circular Quay port. Chapman is the most experienced and premier yacht charter company Sydney, Australia has to offer in this dream destination.

With an array of secluded hidden beaches and bushland, the crystal-clear waters of Sydney are a huge attraction to tourists and locals alike. And what better way to take in all the harbour has to offer than onboard a luxury boat.

People from all over the world flock to Sydney harbour to experience world-class restaurants, designer boutiques and indulgent spas— but most of all to enjoy the Harbour, which seems to have it all. Many choose to spend a day onboard a yacht to enjoy swimming, the sun, and the array of water activities before anchoring up by Taronga Zoo in Athol Bay for stunning views back across Sydney, the Opera House, and Harbour Bridge. If you are looking for an extended experience, one of our superyachts can welcome you and your family onboard for a 5 day adventure.

Your itinerary will include cruising the iconic waterways of Sydney all the way up to Palm Beach and the Pittwater region, where you can discover some of the best anchorages on the east coast. It’s the most dreamlike yachting experience Sydney has to offer— and it can be yours with Chapman by your side.

From Sea to Land,

Once ashore, discover more about the area on one of the various walks that take in stunning Sydney landmarks. One of the world’s best city walks is from Woolloomooloo to Barangaroo, stopping at Mrs Macquaries Chair for a perfect postcard picture.

Each New Year’s Eve, Sydney Harbour puts on a magical display as hundreds of fireworks soar off the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The celebratory atmosphere makes it the perfect way to ring in the new year. Seeing the fireworks from a yacht will ensure you get up close and personal and have the best view in the city.

When it comes to weather, Sydney is quite predictable. The warmer months are commonly from November to February which is when the Harbour is most alive and buzzing with activity.

The cooler months are March to August. Even if you are visiting in the cooler months, make sure to pack swimwear, as it is common to enjoy warm, sunny days during winter.

IMPULSIVE I

Bella vista, weathersfield, what our clients have to say:.

“Now for the 7th year running, we have been so fortunate to have joined the Nova Entertainment team on the annual Christmas Cruise aboard AQA. The experience on AQA is unrivalled – from the welcome as you board, to the service provided by the wonderfully skilled and friendly staff. The refreshments and food provided is always of the highest quality and the environment of being on Sydney’s spectacular harbour in an equally spectacular superyacht is one the highlights of our year. Thankyou Sydney Harbour Yacht Charter for providing the luxury and the experience.” Rosy Sullivan, CEO, Australian College of Professionals

“We recently experienced a business Christmas function aboard AQA. We have been lucky enough to have experienced this luxury cruise a few times. We again had a great time. Staff were welcoming and made us feel very special, even with the ongoing COVID restrictions. The food was top shelf and bar service was easy and always available. They also had clay pigeon shooting which was a lot of fun. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of chartering a luxury boat on Sydney Harbour, to go no further. This team have it all….One of our best experiences. “ John Hall, Nobby Kitchens

We had an absolute ball on NYE! Travis and Karin looked after our booking so perfectly and really guided us through all the options before finding the perfect solution for us.

100 % recommend Sydney Harbour Days! Karin and Travis were simply awesome. They helped make the whole experience of booking a boat for my friends Hen’s party simple and easy, their communication was great and any questions I had were answered quickly! Thank-you again!

Jodie S – May 2022

Karin & Travis were great to work with! So accommodating to every request and kept us informed every step of the way! They had so many options and nothing felt like an issue, definitely would look to book through them again!

Claire C – March 2023

I recently organised a boat for my birthday through Sydney Harbour Days and found the whole process with Travis and Karin incredibly smooth and enjoyable. They were very responsive and helpful, and really ensured we had the best day possible. I would highly recommend using Sydney Harbour Days and I know for certain I’ll be using them again!!

Kris W – Jan 2022

I just wanted to thank you and the boat operators for an amazing day out on the harbour. The entire team had a great day, we swam, we shot guns, we danced and we drank!! The food was fabulous and everyone was raving about how good it was. My team have been on a fair few harbour cruises in our time, but none were as fun as this.

Coleen R – July 2022

Definitely had the best time ever in the boat! We are lucky enough as well to have the most gorgeous sunset! Everything made possible by Karin and Travis. They helped me plan every details and they keep me updated all the time. You won’t regret these two because they will reply as quick as they can.

Boat Hire in Sydney Harbour

Sydney is a city simply made for boat hire, with stunning beaches and bays to explore and iconic landmarks dotted around Sydney Harbour. The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge provide the perfect backdrop for unforgettable on-water events, all just a stone's throw from the city and its lively atmosphere.

When it comes to boat hire in Sydney, Floatspace has something for all budgets, tastes and experiences. Whether you're booking a private luxury yacht or a budget-friendly charter boat, hiring a boat is a special way to make the most of one of the most beautiful harbours of the world, right here in Australia.

Boat hire in Sydney Harbour for any budget, for any occasion

Sydney Harbour turns on the charm for any party, birthday, engagement, wedding, business event, hens party, bucks party, Christmas party, New Year's Eve cruise or other special events worth seeing from the water, like Vivid Sydney. With industry qualified captain and crew included on your Floatspace boat, you can just sit back and enjoy the 360-degree views.

Sydney Harbour boat hire is quick, easy and convenient with Floatspace. For small boat hires, you might pay as little as $350 an hour and split it among a group of friends or family so you can have a slice of the Sydney boat life with great value. You may choose to BYO food and drink, book a boat with a BBQ on board, or go for a fully catered option.

For medium or large-sized groups, you might want to book a food and drinks package in advance so you can clink your champagne under the Harbour Bridge and just enjoy the sights and sounds around you. You might even want to go for gold and book one of Floatspace’s verified Luxe superyachts with 5-star catering, exceptional service and options for both cocktail and sit-down dinner functions. Luxe superyacht rentals can cost upwards of $3000 per hour, and are regularly used for weddings and business events that have a genuine 'wow' factor.

If you're searching for boat hire in Sydney for kids and families, couples or groups, you'll find various options to suit your needs, whether you want a boat with inflatable toys or a boat with a great audio-visual system.

Floatspace boats are set up so you have everything you need on board for the perfect event or boat party. Most of the Sydney boats have BlueTooth stereo systems so you can connect your favourite playlist and enjoy those sweet sounds while laying on a sun lounge or having a drink on a sun deck. If you're organising event on the water, various boats allow for a DJ and have dance floor spaces.

Things to do in Sydney by boat

Sailing Sydney Harbour is an experience that appeals to both locals and visitors alike. From the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House to protected bays and swimming spots, there are so many things to do and sights to see. Sydney has it all - beaches, national parks, fine dining, diving, whale watching, extreme sports, festivals, and ideal boat weather all year round.

The beauty about Sydney is just how close everything is. You might take an action-packed excursion from Circular Quay to Manly on a power boat for a half day (4-hour boat hire is just one popular option), or you might slow it down for a relaxing sail on a private yacht along Sydney's Eastern Suburbs for a whole day. Who needs the hustle and bustle (and parking meters) of Bondi Beach when you've got a private yacht anchored off Parsley Bay or Camp Cove?

Floatspace  boats can pick up and drop off from a variety of Sydney wharf locations, such as Walsh Bay Wharf, King St Wharf Darling Harbour, Balmain East Wharf, Star City Casino Wharf and Rose Bay Wharf. Once you're out on the water, you'll feel like the city is a world away...

Sunset cruises, dinner cruises, champagne sailing - Sydney is your glamorous playground for a boating experience to remember.

Our Service Reviews

Frequently asked questions, does the skipper stay overnight.

This varies from each vessel - We do have some vessels where the skipper stays onboard the vessel and others where the skipper gets off the vessel once moored.

Where does the vessel anchor?

This is dependent on the weather and winds on the night of your charter - the skipper will choose a nice secluded bay on the night

Can I bring my own music?

Definitely! On board all of our vessels is an AUX cord which is compatible with any music compatible device e.g. iPhone, iPod.

How do I make a boat booking?

To secure a vessel for your charter, we take a 50% deposit of the total amount or cost of the vessel hire, unless specified otherwise. The rest of the payment will be due 14 days prior to the charter along with final numbers and food and beverage requirements. Just select your start date and end date to check the availability for your selected date.

How can I make payment?

Payment can be made by EFT, Visa, MasterCard or in cash.
