Where can our boat pick us up in Sydney?
The standard departure point is Rose Bay, but we can arrange alternative pick-up locations around Sydney Harbour including Darling Harbour, Circular Quay, Manly and Watsons Bay. Talk to us about the most convenient location for your group.

Most corporate events book 4–5 hours, which gives you time to cruise, socialise and eat without rushing. A 3-hour minimum applies. For a full-day team event with multiple stops, 7 hours is ideal.
Do you provide invoices for corporate expense claims?
Yes. We provide tax-compliant invoices with GST clearly shown. A 25% deposit secures your booking, with the balance due 2 weeks before the charter.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Sydney Harbour is sheltered and our catamarans are stable, so we operate in most weather conditions. If conditions are unsafe, we'll reschedule your charter or offer a full refund. We monitor forecasts closely and will contact you in advance if there are concerns.
