FAQs on private birthday party boat hire in Sydney.

How much does birthday boat hire on Sydney Harbour cost?

When arranging a birthday party boat hire in Sydney, the hourly cost can vary from $350 to $2,500 per hour, depending on the type of vessel and the season. In addition, there is usually a wharf pick up and drop off fee, which is typically around $100-$200. Many boats offer BYO food and beverage options and use of the boat’s sound system.

For a fully catered experience, there are packages that include waitstaff. The cost per person can be expected to range from $70-$200. To avoid any unexpected costs on the day, we will provide a breakdown of all expenses upon your enquiry.

What is the duration of a birthday boat party hire?

Usually, during the high season (September – April) or on Saturdays all year round, the standard boat hire time is 3-4 hours or more. However, a few vessels offer 3-hour hires throughout the year. On the other hand, during the low season (May – August) and on weekdays all year round, most boats and yachts offer 3-hour hires.

What times are available for a birthday cruise?

Typically, catamarans, yachts, and event boats are available for hire during the afternoon or evening. Afternoon hires typically start at either 12pm or 1pm, while evening hires usually begin at 5pm or 6pm.

What is included in birthday party boat hire?

When you hire a boat for your birthday celebration in Sydney, the package typically includes the vessel, a professional skipper, and a crew to navigate and manage the boat. The availability of BYO or all-inclusive options or a cash bar may vary depending on the type and size of the boat. You can also opt to add entertainment such as a DJ.

Rest assured, we will provide a thorough review of the event package to ensure that you are fully informed about what is included and any additional costs that may apply.

How far in advance should I book?

The more popular boats are book up a few months in advance, especially on Saturdays during the high season. To secure your preferred time and date, we recommend booking at least 3 months prior to your event.

But we understand that last-minute bookings may be necessary, and we’ll do our best to accommodate them whenever possible. Even if you’re planning an birthday boat party on short notice, we’ll work hard to help you find an available option for your preferred date and time.

We will let you know upon booking if your boat has the BYO option available and/or if a BYO fee applies so there will be no surprises.

Can we BYO food?

Having sufficient food onboard to abide by RSA guidelines is compulsory on all cruises. The majority of boats and yachts up to 45 guests, will allow you to BYO food. Most boats have onboard BBQs and the crew will cook your food. We will let you know upon enquiring if your boat has the BYO food option available so there will be no surprises.

Can we bring a DJ?

Larger catamarans, yachts, and event boats are especially suitable for hosting DJ parties. Upon booking, we will inform you if having a DJ onboard is possible on your chosen boat. If you’re interested in having a DJ at your event but don’t have one lined up yet, don’t worry! We can help you arrange a DJ for your private boat party. Pricing and options for DJ services are available upon request, so please let us know if you need any assistance with this.

Are we allowed to swim?

Depending on the vessel, this is possible. In particular, catamarans are a great option for a day of water play on Sydney Harbour. If you are on a vessel that has easy water access included, your captain will take you to the perfect secluded swimming spots. Please let our team know if swimming is something you’re interested upon enquiring.

What if it rains?

Boats will head out in all weather conditions when deemed safe by the captain. If the weather is deemed unsafe and the captain needs to cancel, you will receive a 12-month voucher. This voucher is equal to the value of your booking and can be used to reschedule your charter. The past years we’ve had quite a few groups out with a bit of rain, and they all still had an amazing time! There is plenty of space on the boats to keep dry, and sometimes a little rain even adds to the fun!
