Whether you’re visiting Sydney or a lucky Sydney local, we can’t think of a better way to spend Christmas Day with your loved ones than on a private luxury charter boat on Sydney Harbour.
Blessed with a gorgeous summer’s day and the harbour to yourself, your luxury Christmas Day boat cruise would bring together 10-100 of your family, extended family and/or friends to celebrate the holidays with the same privacy you enjoy at home but with a twist – changing up the location for an extra special day like no other.
Imagine hosting Christmas but doing no cooking or preparation at all. Or maybe surprising the family with a boat day where the kids can swim and play freely on the water toys like our Lilypad, SUPs and Sun Chill.Â
The bit we love the most; leaving the mess behind when it’s time to go home.
Sound like music to your ears?
For those visiting from interstate or overseas, chartering a luxury yacht on Christmas Day gives you’re the freedom of space and lounging around, supported by our highly-trained crew to make your stay more bespoke and comfortable than the finest hotels and restaurants on the Harbour.Â
It’s a luxury, yes, but it’s also the experience of a lifetime, and a memory you’ll cherish forever. Â
Forget the pot-luck dishes and washing up, let us take care of everything as you make memories with the family on some of our favourite vessels to cruise the Harbour.Â
