Experience Spearfishing on Sydney Harbour
A spearfishing charter on Sydney Harbour delivers an exceptional underwater adventure for ocean enthusiasts and experienced divers. Renting a private catamaran hire gives your dive crew complete exclusivity on the water — no crowded public dive boats or rigid tour itineraries. With wide twin hulls providing incredible stability, gearing up with spearguns, wetsuits, and weight belts is safe and straightforward, while low deck access makes entering and exiting the water effortless.
Captain Tim and our seasoned skippers bring over 15 years of local navigation experience on Sydney Harbour. They understand seasonal water movement, visibility, and tidal changes, positioning your boat hire over productive reef structures and rocky ledges. Whether you are chasing pelagic yellowtail kingfish around outer headlands or stalking snapper and bream in sheltered drop-offs, having a dedicated catamaran right beside your dive group guarantees maximum safety, comfort, and freedom.

Where Can You Go on Your Spearfishing Charter in Sydney Harbour?
Your spearfishing charter route is customized on the morning of your trip based on wind, swell, and water clarity. Departing from Rose Bay wharf, your catamaran cruises past iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House before tracking towards the harbour's premier dive grounds. Experience productive drop-offs near North Head and South Head, explore submerged rocky reef ledges around Middle Head, or head into calmer inner-harbour reserves when offshore winds rise.
Between dive sessions, unwind on the wide foredeck trampoline nets, fire up the gas BBQ on the stern to cook your fresh catch, and enjoy ice-cold BYO drinks. Your skipper remains on watch at all times, monitoring dive floats and providing a secure floating base wherever the underwater action takes you.

A massive shout out to @buckingham_marine_services and every single tradie that’s been down to Alila over the past 8 weeks to bring Alila back to her former glory. 1000’s of man hours poured into this fine lady and we can confirm that all our blood, sweat and swear words have pulled together to make this beast stronger and faster than she’s ever been before. All made possible by everyone who’s been onboard with us over the past decade, most of whom are now friends, including agencies and the staff they keep. We love you all and hopefully you can experience Alila in the Whitsundays with your own friends and families in the upcoming years. We’re on a scout for some amazing locations along the way this time and look forward to sharing in the future. Love to you all T ❤️
Not many can survive out here, let alone thrive. The Swedish built this one tough and smart, thank you VV for sharing a total of around 3500 nautical miles around Port Jackson as the perfect co-captain, keeping the highest standards of safety, service and quality. 🫡
And autumn has arrived, best time of the year out here ❤️
Nice to take a day off the helm, and welcome to ESH Jayden! Jezza, if you’re watching, thanks again, that makes 9 charters and hopefully more to come. Love your groups, our preferred clientele.
