Alila | Private Catamaran Rental

Maximum 30 Guests | From AUD $450/hr

Your Boating Experience

Alila is a great party catamaran, designed for small to medium-sized private boat bashes and events with a capacity of up to 30 guests on Sydney Harbour. Get ready to rock the waves and have a blast with your favourite crew! This floating event vessel offers a fun-filled atmosphere where you can swim, sunbathe, chat, or just kick back and relax—let the good times roll!

You’ll have everything you need for an wonderful day on board. Picture yourself lounging on the two sun-kissed trampolines, setting up a feast on the indoor table for food and drinks, and making a splash with the conveniently located bathroom. Rain or shine, the fully enclosed cockpit area ensures the party never stops. And if you’re craving some hidden gems, ask the captain to whisk you away to one of Sydney’s secluded coves for a refreshing dip!

The party vibes continue with the onboard sound system, where you can stream your favourite tunes and let the rhythm take over. Hungry? No worries! The BBQ is ready to be fired up (if you BYO, the crew will take care of the grilling) or choose from some mouth-watering catering options. And don’t forget to keep your drinks ice-cold in the provided eskies—cheers to the good life!

But what sets Alila apart is the amazing crew. Owner Tim is not just friendly and helpful; he’s a party expert who know how to create an unforgettable experience on the water. Rain or shine, Alila is ready for you 365 days a year, including Public Holidays and New Year’s Eve. So, get your squad together and let the Alila adventure begin.

Why people love the boats we hire:

Tom W. – December 2024

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!

Hannah S – February 2025

We had an amazing cruise for my Dad’s 50th Birthday! The boat was absolutely beautiful, the staff were amazing constantly making sure everyone’s drinks were topped up and food was handed out. The whole day was so lovely! Thank you so much for organising the event for us. All our guests have commented saying how fun the day was.

Taylor B. – March 2025

I had the best 30th birthday going through Sydney Harbour Days. The team were so accommodating and really ensured that the day went seamlessly. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they were eager to address all my questions and concerns leading up. Their communication was excellent. The boat itself and the crew were fabulous also.
Highly recommend for all your future Sydney harbour boat parties!

Charmaine M. – November 2024

An absolutely outstanding experience! We appreciate everything that was organised. It was a seamless experience. We can’t thank you enough for an amazing day/night the staff were amazing, the food and drinks spectacular! Best Christmas Party ever! Thank you.

Tony G. – January 2025

Fantastic service for NYE boat booking – everything that was promised happened and a bit more besides. Very responsive throughout – I am happy to recommend this company

Gyndee K. – December 2024

Our company used Sydney Harbour Days to organise our end of year Christmas Party and their service was excellent. They assisted me every step of the way- from the initial enquiry right up until the day of the cruise. I knew I was in good hands as soon as I reached out. Our team had an amazing, memorable night- the boat, atmosphere and staff could not be flawed. Thank you so much Sydney Harbour Days!
