About Tigeress
Tigeress offers a more intimate way to experience Sydney Harbour by private catamaran, making it ideal for groups of up to 30 guests who want plenty of space without needing one of our larger 43-passenger vessels. At 12.5 metres, Tigeress combines generous indoor and outdoor entertaining areas with the relaxed open-air experience that makes catamaran cruising so enjoyable. Head to the forward nets to soak up the Sydney sunshine and harbour views, relax undercover with your group, or anchor for a swim and make use of the swim ladder, lily pad and noodles.
The boat is designed for easy BYO entertaining. There’s a galley kitchen with fridge, large BBQ, eskies and a six-speaker Fusion sound system with Bluetooth connectivity. Simply bring your preferred food, drinks and ice and create the type of event you want. Two onboard toilets and substantial covered and indoor areas also make Tigeress comfortable for longer cruises and Sydney’s changing conditions.
With your skipper included and the entire catamaran reserved exclusively for your group, Tigeress is particularly well suited to birthdays, engagement parties, anniversaries, smaller hens celebrations, family gatherings and relaxed corporate events.
For groups wanting private catamaran hire on Sydney Harbour for up to 30 people, Tigeress offers the space, facilities and flexibility to turn a few hours on the harbour into a memorable private event.
