Meet the jackson: sydney’s newest million dollar, on water event venue lands in the harbour.

The Jackson – A reimagined superyacht and Sydney Harbour’s newest luxury event venue has arrived.

Named after the shimmering waters of Sydney Harbour (Port Jackson), The Jackson embodies the beauty and elegance that exemplifies Sydney’s magnificent Harbour.

Each level of this $15-million-dollar luxurious vessel sets a new benchmark for on-water venues in Sydney. With designer decor and furnishings on par with the 5 star venues of the world, the vessel is licensed to host up to 700 guests cocktail style.

The Jackson impresses guests from the moment they board the vessel and enter the Main Deck, with floor to ceiling windows and superb views of Sydney from every angle, this stunning space can host up to 300 guests banquet style or 400 guests cocktail style making it desirable for corporate events, incentive and team building events, conference dinners, cocktail events, product launches and social events.

The grand spiral staircase takes guests to the Mid Deck of the vessel with elevated views of the Harbour and intimate private rooms – ideal for those smaller corporate and private events. Atop the vessel, The Jackson Bar reimagines Sydney’s rooftop bars with casual elegance.

The Menu and Beverage experience onboard is central to the offering of The Jackson, with the menu curated by consulting Executive Chef Tom Kime. Consciously focused upon high quality, sustainable seafood and premium Australian seasonal produce, the Menu is enhanced by some of Australia’s best wines to showcase and celebrate Australia’s magnificent food and wine scene.

From Spring 2022, Sydneysiders will also be able to enjoy a calendar of Special Events on the vessel in the sophisticated restaurant and stunning rooftop bar, providing guests the very best viewing position of Sydney’s spectacular Harbour.

Convenience and flexibility are also key offerings of The Jackson, enabled by sister vessel The Jackson Flyer, a luxury 60-person tender vessel. The tender allows guests to board from almost all ferry wharves and private Marina’s in Sydney Harbour, with the main two pickup locations being King Street Wharf, and Wharf 6, Circular Quay, overcoming guests’ hesitation to be at an event on the Harbour.

Nick Lester, General Manager of The Jackson said, “Sydney absolutely shines from the water and The Jackson brings the best event venue experience with the harbour and city as its backdrop.

“To date we’ve hosted over 200 site inspections from Australia’s MICE market and corporate sector event organisers, all keen to view Sydney’s newest luxury event venue, resulting in exciting bookings for the year ahead” he said.

“It’s been great to hear the very positive feedback about The Jackson elevating the Harbour venue experience to a whole new level with people keen to take advantage of Sydney’s newest premium event venue.”

Sydney Just Scored A Superyacht-Style Bar For Summer

By Jessica Best

13th Dec 2021

We mean, some things really speak for themselves. Sydney will be home to a new superyacht-style dining and bar experience in 2022, so grab your best mates and your fanciest get-ups because you’re about to live it up real hard.

Set to hit Sydney’s Harbour in the new year, a $15 million luxury vessel will be floating into our waters pinned with a sophisticated restaurant, rooftop cocktail bar, and an events deck for all your serious partying. The Jackson, named after Port Jackson, is your answer to living your best superyacht life without, well you know, forking out all your savings, limbs, Aesop goods, and first-born child to actually step foot on one.

You’ll be able to book tables or event spaces as early as late January 2022. There’ll be four boarding locations, with the main two pick-ups at King Street Wharf and Jetty 6 at Circular Quay. Pick-ups will also be available from Manly and Rose Bay upon reservation.

Exclusive use of the entire vessel entails the capacity to host over 500 guests and its many separate spaces make it an absolute gem for weddings, gala dinners, and work events. On top of this, there are also smaller rooms with private access to the balcony.

Why people love the boats we hire:

Tom w – dec 2022.

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. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and have already been recommending them to friends who saw all of our pictures on social media ;). The perfect experience from start to finish!

Tiffany L – March 2023

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.
