Luxury yacht hire Sydney
A flybridge warm in the late sun, a cabin to change in before dinner and, on one yacht, a hot tub as the Bridge goes copper behind you. Luxury yacht hire on Sydney Harbour for 25 to 45 guests: Enigma, our own yacht, and four partner yachts bookable via Lifestyle Charters. Sam and Dave plan the day with you from the first call.
A private yacht, and the afternoon to yourselves
Luxury yacht hire in Sydney, through Lifestyle Charters, is an afternoon where the first glass is poured on the flybridge and the city does the rest. The yachts at this end of the fleet carry cabins below and a crew on board, so a couple’s anniversary and a host’s client lunch both fit. Enigma is ours, owned and crewed by us. The other four are partner yachts bookable via Lifestyle Charters: Privacy and Sirenuse alongside Quantum and Mohasuwei.
Lifestyle Charters is a family business owned and run by Sam and Dave, lifelong Sydney locals. In practice that means the people who quote your day are the people who answer the phone the week before it. That detail is most of what sets a premium harbour experience apart. When the guest list outgrows the yachts here, superyacht hire in Sydney is the next page along.

luxury yachts on Sydney Harbour
Felix
Felix, our 58-foot Salthouse sports cruiser, runs open plan from saloon to cockpit, where an awning rolls out on hot days. Then someone finds the aqua lily pad. Full BYO and a well stocked bar.
Enigma
The first swim is off Enigma’s floating pool, and the lily pad drifts alongside with the Bridge over your shoulder. She is our own yacht, owned and crewed by us, with three cabins and a well stocked bar.
Privacy
On Privacy the flybridge seats eight, so the couple being celebrated can slip up there with a glass. Built by Warren Yachts, she carries a bar on board, with BYO welcome too.
Sirenuse
The hot tub is on Sirenuse, and the sunset from it is the reason to be in it. Four generous guest rooms sit below, and catering and beverage options are available on board.
Quantum
Dinner on Quantum is twelve at the aft deck table under the awning, and the gyroscopic stabiliser keeps the glasses still as the ferries cross. Four staterooms with ensuites wait below once the plates go.
Mohasuwei
Mohasuwei opens at the stern into a beach club, which means the afternoon moves between the water and the sun deck. Four luxury cabins sit below, and catering is available alongside the bar on board.
An exceptional setting for your next occasion
A milestone birthday with close friends, an anniversary on the harbour or an evening entertaining valued clients. A private luxury yacht gives each occasion space to unfold.
Picture dinner on Quantum’s aft deck as the city turns gold, a leisurely afternoon in Sirenuse’s hot tub, or drinks aboard Privacy or Mohasuwei with the Opera House beyond the saloon windows. Share your occasion and guest numbers, and we’ll recommend the yacht and timing to bring it to life.

Why book through us
Exceptional yachts. Personally arranged.
This was the best birthday I have ever had and that was due in a major way to the experience with your company and The Felix.
A huge thank you to Sam and Dave for such a fantastic experience, we will absolutely be booking again and recommending Lifestyle Charters to everyone!
We are already talking about another charter for even longer and to watch the sunset ❤️
Crew were fantastic with all their efforts in getting the wheelchair bound birthday boy on board and comfortable.
Best oysters he’s tasted he said.
Overall a great evening aboard Felix…thank you for the memories.
As the dust has now settled and I am finding time to get back to business as usual after Donal's Birthday Bash aboard your beautiful boat Enigma, I keep thinking just how wonderful the whole experience was and how lucky we were to have worked with you.
Not only was the boat just perfect for our event, we found yourself and your crew so easy and lovely to work with.
You took the time to answer my plethora of questions about the kitchen/self catering and gave us great practical advice for the best outcomes. Basically - setting us up for success!
We really appreciate your efforts and those of your lovely crew, Sam, Bella and Cameron.
So many guests commented the same - talking no end about the party, the food, drinks, crew, boat, beautiful harbour & luckily stunning weather.
It was a smashing day!
Thank you again for everything.
What to expect from luxury yacht hire in Sydney
Once the charter is confirmed, we agree the wharf and the boarding time with you. After that you step aboard and the crew cast off, and the only decision left is flybridge or saloon. The day then runs to your plan: a long lunch at anchor, then a slow lap past the Opera House sails on the way home, with a swim wherever the water looks right.
Luxury yacht hire in Sydney: your questions
Six things people ask about the yachts at this end of the fleet. For how we match a yacht to an occasion, read our fleet comparison, and ask anything else when you enquire.
What makes a yacht on this page a luxury yacht?
It is the feeling of having a floor to yourselves: a cabin to change in before the toast and a flybridge for the sunset, with a crew who look after the rest. In practice the features back it up. Ensuites are listed on Enigma and Quantum, and Sirenuse has a hot tub. Quantum adds a gyroscopic stabiliser and Mohasuwei opens into a beach club.
How many guests do the luxury yachts take?
Quantum seats twelve for dinner and carries up to 45 for a day charter, the biggest party on this page. Our own Enigma follows at 41, which is a full house on the flybridge and the swim platform at once. Privacy and Sirenuse each host up to 36, and so does Mohasuwei, so tell us if your list is close to a limit.
Can we stay overnight?
Yes on four of the five, which turns the sunset into the start of the evening rather than the end of it. Enigma sleeps six guests. Sirenuse and Quantum sleep eight each, and so does Mohasuwei. Privacy’s listing gives no overnight figure, so ask us before you plan on it.
Are drinks included, or can we bring our own?
The glass in your hand depends on the yacht. On Enigma you can bring your own, because she runs full BYO charters and carries a well stocked bar as well. Privacy has a bar on board and BYO welcome, and Mohasuwei has a bar on board. Sirenuse offers catering and beverage options, while Quantum’s features do not cover drinks, so for those two ask when you enquire.
What is the minimum charter length?
Three hours holds a long lunch at anchor and the run home under the Bridge, and a fourth adds the swim stop and the sunset. Quantum and Mohasuwei start at four hours, while our own Enigma and Privacy start at three to four. Sirenuse’s minimum is not listed, so ask when you enquire.
What happens if it rains?
The party moves inside and the view comes with it, because every one of these yachts has an indoor space with the harbour in the windows. Enigma is fully air conditioned and Privacy’s main saloon is open plan. Quantum and Mohasuwei have large saloons, and Sirenuse has an indoor dining area. Keep an eye on the Bureau of Meteorology’s Sydney forecast as the day approaches, and call us if it worries you.
Tell us the day you have in mind
Send through the date and the guest count, with a line on what you are celebrating, and we’ll come back with the luxury yacht charter in Sydney that fits and a quote for it. Once you have chosen, the balance is invoiced 21 days before the charter and is payable within seven days. If a call is easier, Sam and Dave are on 0402 557 453.
