We represent only Sydney harbour cruise boats of exceptional quality and service. If you see a charter boat you like, phone or email us and we can give your more information, comparison quotes and book in your date. We are only a phone call or email away and are very happy to suggest suitable boats and options for your occasion.

If you’ve got big party events coming up, then you need a big boat to help you fully realise your party planning visions. Sydney Harbour Escapes offers the biggest party cruise ship options to help you set sail and make your next large-scale event a shipload of fun! 

Why a big boat party is the ideal choice for your next event 

A boat party is a great way to provide a contained event and venue for your guests, no matter the time of year. What could be more fun than a huge party boat setting sail to give 

families, friendship groups, company employees — or any other type of guest — a unique experience on the sea around Sydney, one of the world’s most beautiful harbours? 

And when you’ve got all the facilities of a bar and a restaurant at hand too, the possibilities just grow even further. Guests will be fed by a chef on board, and served by dedicated waiting staff. There are also BYO options for drinks, should you wish to accommodate specific beverage requests. 

A big variety of options to accompany a big boat 

Boat events give you the opportunity to create a unique experience, no matter the occasion — but they also offer much more versatility than you may realise. It doesn’t have to be as simple as just setting sail! Whether it’s a corporate party, family birthday, retirement, hens party, Christmas or New Year’s Eve, you’re able to create a theme for your event. You might want the boat to mimic a restaurant, church, lounge or even a resort. 

Aside from food and adult beverages, a variety of activities can be accommodated onboard, including dance floors and karaoke. Nor are you necessarily restricted to staying on the boat, either — arrangements can be made for swimming or beach activities as part of your time with the boat. 

Your big party events can be as big as you want

Sydney Harbour Escapes cater to a wide variety of cruise sizes — small, medium and large boat events. For a large boat event, we can currently accommodate up to 950 guests — which means you can host a truly spectacular event at sea.

No matter the occasion, a huge party boat on Sydney Harbour is a great way to celebrate. It’s a fun, memorable event in luxury surrounds, enabling you and your guests to do what you do best — get partying! 

The friendly customer service team at Sydney Harbour Escapes is here to help you with any questions you might have about our large boats or any of our other services. Feel free to give us a call on 02 9328 4748. Alternatively, you can fill out our online form, or come visit us in person on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 2C Margaret St, Woolwich NSW.

We look forward to hearing from you, and discussing how we can make your party dreams come true!

Boat parties offer an excellent venue for guests and they are not only ideal for summer months but throughout the seasons. In Sydney, boat parties are hosted all year round – giving families, groups, company employees, artists, and other guests a unique experience by the sea. Whether you want an open boat vessel or an enclosed boat, if you are hosting a party, you want to do it in style. You can have an enclosed party boat hire in Sydney that offers a floating bar and restaurant experience with terrific views of the harbour. 

Touring Sydney by boat offers some of the most stunning experiences you can find in the country. A luxury boat hire gives beautiful moments to mark your special occasion.  Sydney pulls many celebrations and activities throughout the year: beach parties, fun cruises, boat racing, and ocean view explorations or even booze parties are a common thing in the city. Families, corporate organisations, and groups of all walks of life take part in private special events in Sydney. 

If you have a large group or number of guests taking part in your special event, you want to get a large size party boat hire in Sydney. You can create a theme for your event so that it mimics a restaurant, church, lounge, or even a hotel. It is possible that you host a lunch, dinner, or evening cocktail by the harbour sandy beach where after a wonderful boat tour; you anchor at your chosen location to have your meal. You also indulge in other activities like swimming and participating in other activities by the beach. You could also decide to host everything in the boat – including the meals, partying time, speeches, and prize giving. 

Think of any special occasion or party you want to have – whether it’s a corporate party, a family-themed birthday party, Hens party, Christmas Eve party, or New Year’s party – you can do it in style by having a luxury boat party hire in Sydney. 

Luxury boat hires in Sydney come in different shapes and sizes. For a large group of 500 to 800 people, you would need to have a majestic tall ship or a superyacht. Hosting a party of 1000 pax is a challenge and it demands that you plan appropriately. Your venue, often the boat, needs to be able to offer the services you need. Think about the kind of experience you are after – do you need a dance floor? Do you want to swim? Will you go out afterwards? Do you need extras like Karaoke?

You will want to treat your guests to some quality meal, so you want to have a chef on board and dedicated waiting staff who offer personalised service. You could also decide to go BYO style where you bring your own beverages.

 A large size party boat hire in Sydney gives you a perfect choice for your corporate and group special event.  It sets off a memorable experience for the event and your guests will certainly love it. There is nothing as beautiful and fulfilling as hosting a grand-scale event on a private large size party luxury boat. It guarantees you a fun environment where everyone is able to appreciate the beauty of Sydney with Sydney Harbour as the city’s backdrop. 

Viewing the sunset while on the boat gives you one of the spectacular views of the city. It’s also the best moment when you can capture your event’s shots and video footage which you can use to tell your story to other people. A corporate organisation can also use this special moment to stream its event live to its audiences as a way of creating brand awareness and promoting their name.
