Tiger 3 and Tiger 4 each carry up to 43 guests, and Tigeress carries up to 30.

Weekend afternoon slots usually book one to three weeks ahead, and November and December dates go earlier because of Christmas parties and end-of-year events. New Year’s Eve books out months in advance. If you have a fixed date, booking early locks in both the vessel and Rose Bay Wharf – a 25% deposit secures it, with the balance due two weeks before the charter.
