Five superyachts, bookable via Lifestyle Charters
Yot Viva
Purpose-built for private charters and premium events. Four guest suites sit below a large open-plan saloon that opens onto the decks, there’s a commercial galley with a bar area, and the big bow is for the photographs. An ocean pool is among the optional extras.
Shadow
Four spacious cabins with ensuites, and a large shaded flybridge with lounges and a bar area, where most of the afternoon happens. Below it, a long alfresco dining table on the lower deck and a full galley. Up to 90 guests for a day charter.
Oneworld
A 103-foot Majesty superyacht across three decks. Dinner is on the rear deck at the outdoor table, drinks at the upper deck bar, and the front-deck sun lounges sit beside the jacuzzi. Up to 100 guests for an event, with a no-shoe policy on board.
Impulsive
Large internal entertaining spaces and a big flybridge with a bar and jacuzzi, plus easy access to the bow’s sun lounges. Guests can also use the full galley, and there are plenty of swim toys. Impulsive is on Sydney Harbour in summer and at Hamilton Island in winter.
Mischief
The biggest of the five, Mischief takes up to 180 guests for an event and seats 100 for a sit-down meal. The main salon has a large marble bar with back-lit mirrored wine racks. Sunbeds and lounges run through several entertaining spaces inside and on deck, with a no-shoe policy on board.

Why book through us
Booked through a family, planned with you
Sam and Dave are lifelong Sydney locals who have spent years on this harbour, and it shows in the small decisions: which wharf suits your guests, where to drop anchor for a swim, when to be under the Bridge as the light goes gold. On a superyacht charter those calls matter more, because there are more people to move and more hours to fill.
You’ll also know who you’re dealing with. Book a partner superyacht via Lifestyle Charters and the two of them stay your point of contact from the first quote to the morning you step aboard. That’s the kind of luxury they set out to offer: personal, never pretentious.
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 on the day
Your time on the harbour should feel effortless. Once your charter is confirmed, we talk the wharf and the timing through with you, then send updated confirmations before you step aboard. After that, your only job is to arrive. The crew take it from there: the lines come in, the city slides past the rail and the afternoon becomes whatever you planned it to be.
Questions about super yacht hire in Sydney
The questions we hear most about the bigger boats. If yours isn’t here, ask when you enquire.
How many guests can a superyacht take on Sydney Harbour?
Mischief takes up to 180 guests for an event. Oneworld takes up to 100, and Shadow up to 90 for a day charter. Each vessel’s fleet page lists its capacities, so check the one you’re interested in, or ask us and we’ll confirm for your date.
Which superyacht should we choose?
Start with the number of guests, because that rules vessels in or out straight away. Then the occasion: a seated dinner needs a different boat from a standing cocktail event or a swim-stop afternoon. Our fleet comparison walks through how we match an occasion to a vessel.
Can we bring our own drinks on a superyacht?
It varies by vessel. Shadow and Impulsive have a bar on board, and the others list a bar area among their features. Tell us what you’d like to bring when you enquire and we’ll confirm the arrangement for that boat.
Where do we board?
There are several convenient wharves around Sydney Harbour. Some vessels have location restrictions, so we’ll guide you towards the best option for your itinerary.
What happens if it rains?
Rain alone rarely changes the plan on a boat this size. The superyachts have large indoor saloons, so a shower moves the party inside without ending it. Check the Bureau of Meteorology’s Sydney forecast in the days before, and talk to us if the outlook worries you.
Can we swim, or stay overnight?
Yes to both, depending on the vessel. Swimming is encouraged at suitable harbour locations, and the superyachts list swim toys and water activities among their features. Most of the five also list overnight guests, so ask about an overnight charter on the one you have in mind.
Tell us the date and the guest list
Send those through with a rough idea of how long you’d like on the water, and we’ll reply with the superyachts that suit and what each would cost for your day. Once you’ve picked one, the balance is invoiced 21 days before the charter and is payable within seven days, so there’s nothing to chase in the final week.
