The Australia Day Public Holiday on January 26 is one of the most electrifying days to experience on Sydney Harbour – and definitely one of our favourites.
With a program of events spanning morning to night, Sydney Harbour is transformed from a bustling working port to a theatre of fun and inspiration enjoyed by thousands from all the glorious vantage points around the foreshore and on the water.
While there are hundreds of things to see and do, you can’t beat experiencing Australia Day from a private yacht charter.
You will be blown away by the unique program of events, including the Ferrython, Tall Ships race, Salute to Australia, jet flyover, and fireworks display. And that’s just to name a few.
With a private charter boat, you have the luxury and versatility to journey from being in the thick of the celebrations to finding a quiet anchorage to reflect on the beauty of the lucky country. Enjoy a BYO lunch, or let us organise your catering. And don’t forget, Australia Day wouldn’t be complete without that all-important dip in the harbour.
There is so much happening on the Harbour on Australia Day; whether you’re visiting from out of town, an international guest or even a local Sydneysider, we’ve put together a list to highlight our favourite must-do events on Australia Day.
"Sam and the team at Lifestyle Charters were absolutely fantastic. Our wedding was perfect and every detail was considered; from the closest anchorage to hitting the most iconic and picturesque locations for our photos. I wouldn't change a thing about our yacht wedding, thank you!"
On a boat of course!
It’s the end of January, we are still in holiday mode and we all want to relax, but we also want to be front row for the festivities.
A private charter cruise combines the best of both worlds.
We recommend a 4-6 hour cruise on a private charter vessel for the ultimate Australia Day experience.
See the full suite of events mentioned above, including the salute to Australia and the jet flyover, and find a beautiful anchorage for lunch and a swim.
Before you know it, you’ll be back on land, ready for more festivities and fireworks!
Our private Australia Day harbour cruises start from $4,500, depending on the vessel you choose.
Note it is a public holiday, so public holiday surcharges do apply across all yachts.
Visit our fleet page to view our full range of vessels.
Yes, most boats offer BYO. If you are interested in a boat that doesn’t, we’ll let you know and happily arrange a drinks package for you.
