Where Can You Go on Your Christmas Party in Sydney Harbour?
Departing from Rose Bay, your Christmas party charter sets sail toward the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge for group photos. Your skipper then navigates past Point Piper mansions into tranquil coves such as Athol Bay, Store Beach, or Castle Rock. Here, anchor down for a relaxed BBQ lunch, dive off the stern for a refreshing swim, and toast your team as the sun sets over the harbour skyline.

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.
