Private catamaran hire is a fun, summer alternative to luxury yacht hire. A day out on our catamarans means that you can enjoy a new perspective of the stunning Sydney Harbour with Sydney Boat Hire ’s diverse range of vessels. We have boats available for hire from small to large sailing catamarans, so we definitely have the right vessel for any and every occasion. With Sydney Boat Hire, you can enjoy a perfectly tailored experience on the harbour, with one of our purpose-built catamarans.

Have you ever wanted to go whale watching and see one of the stunning animals up close? Why not take a catamaran out to sea during whale watching season in late June or early July and experience the magnificent creatures with a large group? The friendly skipper on board will ensure that the path that you take out on the ocean gives you the best vantage point to see them.

Nothing is more quintessential to an Aussie summer than a good old BBQ. Cook up a storm with some snags on the BBQ by bringing your own food. You can also bring your own drinks on board and keep them chilled in an esky to enjoy an ice-cold drink with your meal. If you would rather not worry about bringing and cooking your own food, just sit back and relax and let the friendly staff onboard take care of the catering.

After lunch, why not jump off your catamaran into the iconic Sydney Harbour for a refreshing swim to cool down? Or you could soak up the Australian sun rays on one of the inbuilt trampolines. Catamaran hires come equipped with everything you need for a fun time out on the water, making them the perfect party boat hire for a hot spring or summer day.

Take advantage of some of Sydney Boat Hire’s catamaran hire services and pick up your private charter at multiple pick up and drop off locations around Sydney. Our friendly staff can take you through our recommended routes for Sydney Harbour hotspots, such as the best places to go kayaking off of the catamaran hire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a toilet on board?

Yes, much like the type you find on an airplane.

Does Imagine have a Lily-Pad?

Yes, available for use during daylight hours - conditions permitting. 

Can I bring inflatable water toys?

Yes, you are welcome to bring inflatable water toys. Please bring them deflated, we have a pump on-board.

Is there a stereo on board?

Yes, Imagine has an integrated sound system with speakers around the vessel.

Do I need to bring an iPod/ aux cable?

No, cable is supplied. Stereo is also Bluetooth compatible. 

Can we have fresh water showers?

Unfortunately no.

Are there eskies on board?

Yes there are two 100L fibreglass eskies on board for all your drinks. These eskies are top of the range insulated eskies that will cool your drinks rapidly and keep them cold all day.

Is smoking permitted on board?

Yes, only in two designated areas.

Is there a fridge?

Yes, but it is different to a normal domestic fridge and only small items will fit in it. Large platters, containers or cakes will not fit in the fridge due to its irregular shape.

Is swimming allowed?

Most of the time during daylight hours swimming is permitted while the vessel is anchored securely. However, on some rare occassions the Master may not permit swimming for safety reasons. In this case the masters decision is final. Access to the water is very easy with Imagines’ stern steps leading right down into the water.

Is there a BBQ?

Yes, if you would like to have a BBQ the crew will cook it for you. To use the BBQ we have a $250 Usage and cleaning charge. Note: the vessel must be anchored to BBQ.

Catamaran Hire Sydney Harbour

Tiger catamarans.

The Tiger Catamarans fleet consists of three unique Seawind Catamarans. Our Queen Tigeress is our newest addition a Seawind 1250. Tigeress offers a class of luxury with internal leather lounges in the Saloon to the freedom for guests to sit on nets at the bow of the boat.

Tiger 3 and 4 have been with us since birth in late 2018 born Seawind 1160 Resorts. Identical brothers Tiger 3 and 4 are the ultimate charter vessel, modern and open in design they really are the perfect boat for a group day out with room for up to 43 guests.

We take great pride in ensuring that every group has the best day out possible for their occasion. We will tailor each charter to the guest’s requests. A day out on the water with us is the most fun you can have on the Harbour. We endeavour to make the day as easy as possible even offering catering from $15.00pp.

If you’re wondering why the fleet starts at Tiger 3 and 4 here is why…. Andrew is affectionally known as “Tiger” by his friends and family making him Tiger 1. After 10 years of owning Tiger 2 we sold our beloved first catamaran and it was time that the boys Tiger 3 and 4 got a woman in their life to lead the way and Tigeress  was bought into the family.

So, hire a Catamaran and book now for your next Family Day, Christmas Party, Get together, Work event, Birthday Parties, Hens or Bucks.

Please go to the Instagram Feed settings page to create a feed.

Exploring secluded white sandy beaches… Swimming in the kind of sparkling, crystalline water we dream about in Melbourne… Seeing the sights of Sydney Harbour closer than you probably ever have or will again, and all in the care of someone who so obviously knows & loves this spectacular city… I can’t rate this experience highly enough!

Andrew took myself and a group of girls out on his boat for my hens party and it was fantastic!! I couldn’t rate the whole experience higher. He was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating during the afternoon. We cruised all around the beautiful harbour and had food & drinks watching the sun go down.

I took this tour on Andrews new Catamaran, with my team from work. It couldn’t have been easier. from the get go he looked after us. I was pretty worried as the pressure was on me to organise the team outing. We were lucky we struck perfect weather and everyone went swimming and had a BBQ on board. Andrew ended up staying out an extra hour for no charge. We will be using this for our next team drinks next year and the year after that and that. I will be referring this to all my family and friends.

Went on the boat tour to see in the New Year in with my husband and the in laws. What a fantastic night we had!! Andrew took us around the bay and anchored up with the most perfect view of the bridge for the fireworks!! Would recommend Andrew and the company to anyone looking for a great tour of the harbour and esp the New Year trip!!!

I can’t recommend this tour enough! It was brilliant from beginning to end! Well worth the money! Andrew made the tour….his local knowledge and stories makes this a tour not to miss. I’ve done a lot of boat trips on holidays and this was the best one….the small group made it really personal and a much more interesting tour. Thank you so much Andrew for making our flying visit to Sydney so memorable!

Catamaran Hire / Boat Charter FAQs

Where can we go during our catamaran charter.

Your skipper can take you most places within Sydney Harbour, providing it is within the surveyed boundaries. Should your guests wish to go to a specific location within Sydney Harbour please let us know at time of briefing.

Is the catamaran boat suitable for children?

Yes, Pegasus has safety rails all the way around the boat and children’s lifejackets are available. Children must be under adult supervision at all times.

Can we extend our time during the catamaran charter?

Yes, although this is subject to availability. Please note, the charter will be extended based on the decision of the captain on board and payment will be processed post charter by authorised bond.

Are we allowed to bring our own food and drinks?

Yes, we suggest that you bring boat friendly food that requires minimum preparation e.g. platter-style cold foods or food that can be cooked on our BBQ.

What do you advise we bring with us?

As conditions can vary on the water, it is suggested that you bring along a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, swimmers, and seasonal jumper or jacket. Please wear white-soled shoes or non-marking boating shoes. Strictly no black soled shoes or stiletto-heeled shoes, as this will damage the decking.

Is there sun, wind and rain protection on the boat?

The cockpit area has roll down clears to provide ample shade from the sun and closure from wind and rain.

BOAT HIRE SYDNEY - EXPERIENCES

Skipper George was so laid back, asking us where we wanted to head to for the day which made our experience feel totally personalised. He even went to the effort to drop anchor in a shallower bay so that those of us not sure about the deep harbour waters, were able to get in for a swim. Andrew, our host, made sure we always had a full drink in our hands (which was an unexpected bonus) and cooked a fab BBQ spread for us all. Both crewmembers were friendly and good company for the day.

Thank you to the team at Eastcoast Sailing for a totally memorable Christmas Party. From booking to boarding, the whole experience was simple and hassle free, allowing us to enjoy the spectacular day.

Thank you Kylie, George and Andrew. (keep it up!) Merry Christmas!

We had a lovely time last Friday up in Pittwater for my Mum’s 70th Birthday.

Jim, the skipper, was great with the kids and his calm manner somehow effortlessly managed to put my oldest, who had been quite anxious of sailing at ease. He also encouraged each of the children to take a turn at the helm, which they all loved, and we spotted dolphins right by the boat, which was very special.

Pittwater is a great location for sailing and we would go back in an instant if we could!

Thank you for organising the trip. Best wishes

I just want to congratulate you and your company for enabling us to have the most awesome time! Thank you so much your advice was impeccable, having the extra time was wonderful and the catering made it so enjoyable for all of us hosting the party. The crew, Susannah and Mark, were terrific. Susannah took so many wonderful photos for me and Mark showed us the sights and took us to a magical cove and cooked the perfect BBQ. I will certainly recommend you and your company.

We loved our east coast sailing experience. Your customer service before the boat was impeccable, all of our needs and questions were taken care of with an amazing promptness. On the boat Lisa the captain was a delight to be with she was interesting informative and fun. We loved our sailing experience the storm was beautiful to watch and the sunset was stunning. There is nothing I like better than being on a boat in Sydney harbour. I would recommend east coast sailing at the drop of a hat.

I was very satisfied with the service you provided. I was overseas so found it very stressful trying to book this event from so far. However Kylie helped to relieve this stress by being helpful, friendly and quick with email responses. I had no issues at all with the booking. The boat was fantastic and we all had a great day. So thanks so much to Eastcoast Sailing.

6 Factors to check before booking a Sydney Harbour cruise

Have you considered that when hiring a boat in sydney for a party cruise, wedding cruise, corporate entertainment or team building function, you have to check that the boat hire company is solid. why  .

1. Service: Do not choose any boat for hire without knowing that the service will be of a standard that you would be proud of when entertaining your guests. Sydney Harbour Escapes monitors boat services to ensure that your charter cruise is one that you will be proud of. Will the boat charter agent look after you after the booking is made? We think that having a trusting relationship is important in business and we will be on hand to see you are looked after before, during and after the event to make sure that the service was exceptional.  

2. Financial Check: Check that boat charter company is robust financially. Especially if you are booking a boat for hire in Sydney in advance, you are trusting that your substantial deposit will be honoured by the time you are ready to complete your final payment for the charter. Sydney Harbour Escapes ranks highly in the industry standard of company financial checks - Dunn and Bradsheet.  

3. Survey: Check that the boat is in 'survey'. This means that the boat for hire has been certified by the government NSW Maritime Authority, having passed a huge range of safety and performance checks. A boat in survey has a stronger hull and taller stanchions ( the fence around the boat) for example. To be in survey, a boat needs to be built for hire from scratch to pass these tests. Boats not in survey will not pass the safety standards to make you know that the boat is safe. Most importantly, A surveyed boat in hire will also provide up to date and checked lifejackets and other safety equipment.  

4. Hidden Fees: At Sydney Harbour Escapes, our quotes will contain all fees that you will need for your charter. This is so that you do not get hidden surprises after booking. Some boat charter agents will quote a cheap rate then sting you later for fees that you did not expect. To compare apples with apples, make sure that you know how much it will be for extras such as wharf pick up fees, BYPO charges, ice, staffing surcharges etc for your boat hire Sydney.  

5. The Extra Mile: Will the boat charter agent look after you after the booking is made? We think that having a trusting relationship is important in business and we will be on hand to see you are looked after before, during and after the event to make sure that the service was exceptional.  

6. Is the charter boat really in the fleet? Beware of agents that put up boats in their charter fleet without asking the boat owner and even checking if the boat is in charter in Sydney. We know of many instances of where the owners do not know the agent and their content has been put online without checking current prices and menus. We know of boats that are offered for charter that have sunk! Sydney Harbour Escapes has a solid relationship with all our boat owners and we check prices and updates and take images regularly so that we can make sure that you have the a valid choice and honest quotes to make an informed decision regarding the best boat to hire.

Recycle/Scrap Your Boat with Boatbreakers®

The team at Boatbreakers® is the trusted solution for breaking and scrapping boats across the UK and Ireland. If your boat has fallen into dis-repair and is now a costly liability at a marina or on a driveway, we can help. Our scrap a boat disposal service isn’t free but our professional disposal can save you money and give you peace of mind if you just want to get rid of your boat. Think of it as one last bill to pay.

When you have exhausted all avenues trying to sell the boat, call us. We do provide a complete vessel collection, disposal and scrap service. For those boats which might be too good to scrap we can also help you re-home your boat with our Lonely Boats Service .

We get many calls from people wanting to ‘give us’ an abandoned, damaged or burned out boats. Unfortunately we incur costs in the collection, labour to prepare and deliver a boat disposal process.

Therefore unless the boat has some value then we can’t collect her for free as we have to cover our costs in this recovery process. More and more marine insurers are now building an ‘end of life disposal’ aspect to their policy’s and we work with these insurance companies on a regular basis, so check your policy.

If you’re new to boats and you’ve been left to sort a vessel through probate we can help. Just send us pictures and a location and we can work out the rest. We have years of experience in end of life boat disposal so we won’t need to ask you lots of technical boaty questions.

There are lots of different kinds of boats available and each has its challenges when it comes to disposal and recycling.

These pages are designed to help you identify the type of boat you have and what you need to know in order to get it ready for disposal.

Narrowboats

Some yachts will come with engines (Inboard or outboard) and some don’t.

We class a Motorboat as one of the following, Fishing boat, River Cruiser, Speed Boat, Cabin Cruiser, Ribs, Commercial Boat and Work Boats. As a rule it’s anything above 18ft that isn’t a yacht.

We class a narrowboat as 7ft+ wide and up to 70ft long barge that are common across the inland waterways in the UK. Usually made of Steel but sometimes in Wood.

We class a Dingy/Small Boat as anything up to 17ft. This can be a yacht or a motorboat.

Benefits of Recycling with Boatbreakers®

Why scrap with us.

Dealing with Boatbreakers® will give you peace of mind and will certainly avoid unexpected visits, potentially large fines or criminal prosecution by the Environment Agency, Harbour Authorities and even possibly by the Police.

If you have been involved in a marine accident and your boat is a total write off then call us. Your insurer is responsible for the recovery and disposal process and we are more than happy to deal direct with the loss adjusters or claims departments on your behalf.

Many individuals feel that they can easily dispose of a scrap boat without involving a specialist like Boatbreakers®. However there are a number of pitfalls such as hazardous waste that would break certain rules and regulations if an unwanted vessel is not disposed of correctly, legally and ethically.

This position statement is based on our understanding of the relevant legislation. We will regularly review it and may revise or withdraw it if necessary. It applies to England only.

Boat Breaking Ethics

We invest substantially in our processes, training and ethical solutions dedicated to the process of scrapping yachts and boats. Additionally we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place that prevents waste materials such as oils, fuels and dirty bilge water don’t pollute the marinas, seaways, rivers and streams.

There are unregulated operators who try to save costs by avoiding the expense of doing things properly and ethically. Invariably rogue dealers advertise on the internet as licensed breakers but often operate from a back room and simply dump toxic waste in contravention of environment laws. It is therefore strongly emphasised that boat owners and marina operators should take great care and exercise caution when it comes to having the yachts and boats in their care scrapped, recycled or removed.

Boatbreakers® ensure that the maximum amount of metal components such as the keel, toe rails, push and pulpits, masts, engines and deck gear is recycled. Boat owners and marina operators who don’t scrap their vessels properly could find themselves breaking the law and helping to pollute the environment.

By choosing us to scrap your unwanted vessel, you can be assured that your yacht or motorboat will be dealt with in such a way as to ensure that there will be no health risks caused by polluting the sea, marinas, ports, rivers and wild life.

We will visit your boat and determine the best way to properly dispose of her. If we can break her where she is we will make sure that there is no mess when the work is completed.

The Environment Agency and Boatbreakers® treat the disposal of toxic waste materials very seriously.

Hazardous Materials

It should be understood that there are a multitude of components, materials and parts that go into making a boat and many of them are not particularly environmentally friendly. There are certain rules and regulations that govern the disposal of hazardous materials such as oils, fuels and other hazardous materials to prevent people dumping them in the normal way they would get rid of household waste. The Environment Agency treats the disposal of toxic waste materials very seriously.

Monthly Payment Plan Available

Spread the cost of scrapping with  Boatbreakers® Monthly Payment Plan . Don’t let what can sometimes seem like a big chunk of money put you off dealing with that problem boat that has been sat on her mooring unused, on the driveway untouched or in a field gathering moss. At Boatbreakers® we aim to clear the UK’s waterways of abandoned boats and in doing so benefit the boating community as a whole.

By removing these abandoned, uninsured, and sometimes dangerous vessels from it not only helps the environment but protects other boat owners from costly consequences. It also makes more space for all the shiny new boats that flood into the market every year.

Yacht, Motor Boat, Narrow boat and Ship Breaking, Disposal and Vessel Recycling Services

Decaying, waterlogged and abandoned boats can cause pollution and damage the marine environment slowly releasing waste products like engine oil, diesel, petrol and human waste into the surrounding water. Even worse they can eventually sink and sit on the bottom causing a navigational hazard and become significantly more difficult to recover and re float.

Disposing of a boat can be a challenging task for an owner, marina or insurer but one call to Boatbreakers® is all that is needed.

We specialise in yacht and motor boat removal and recovery for private and commercial owners, boatyards and insurance companies.

If you can’t find the legal owners of a boat, or they have disappeared with bills outstanding pass the case to us and we will find them.

One call to us and we get things done and our “scrap a boat” services include:

• Removal of  damaged , sunken, unwanted and  abandoned yachts, boats & ships
• Overseas vessel recovery.
• Boat removal from gardens , fields, car parks and shorelines.
• Hull breaking, recycling and clearance of waste.
• Ensuring safe disposal of oils, diesel, petrol and general hazardous marine waste.
• Finding legal owners of the boat.
• Insurance company approved.

No police charges for Taylor Swift’s dad over paparazzi incident in Sydney

SYDNEY (AP) — Taylor Swift’s father will not be charged over a paparazzi photographer’s claim that Scott Swift assaulted him on the Sydney waterfront hours after the pop star’s Australian tour ended last month.

Photographer Ben McDonald had alleged that one of Swift’s security guards forced an umbrella into his face and camera and that  Scott Swift then punched him  at the Neutral Bay Wharf, where the father and daughter had just come ashore from a yacht Feb. 27.

Taylor Swift’s representatives responded by accusing members of the media of aggression during the interaction.

Police began investigating the incident at the time and announced Wednesday that “no further police action” would be taken.

“No offences were detected, and the investigation was concluded with no further police action required,” said the statement from the New South Wales Police Force.

More than 600,000 fans saw the Australian leg of her Eras Tour at seven Australian stadium concerts.

Her tour shattered records when it  reportedly surpassed $1 billion last year , and her  film adaptation of the tour  quickly  took No. 1 at the box office  and became the highest-grossing concert film to date.
