Why Felix defines Sydney Harbour luxury
Luxury on Sydney Harbour isn’t about excess, it’s about balance. Felix captures that perfectly. At 58 feet, this Riviera design offers space and intimacy in equal measure, making it as suited to an elegant corporate charter as to a relaxed afternoon with friends.
The moment you board, you notice the stillness, the sound of the city fades, replaced by gentle water movement and the low hum of precision engineering. Inside, Felix feels bright and airy, with panoramic windows that flood the saloon with natural light. Outside, there’s room to recline, dine, and take in Sydney’s landmarks from a private vantage point few ever experience.
Felix embodies Australian craftsmanship: durable, refined, and made for life on the water. Every charter is skippered by experienced local captains under Lifestyle Charters’ fully licensed, insured operation, ensuring your journey is as seamless as it is stylish.
