What Is a Private Catamaran Charter?
A catamaran charter means you hire the entire vessel exclusively for your group. Unlike public harbour cruises or shared boat tours, a private charter on Sydney Harbour gives you complete control — over the guest list, the timing, the music, the food, and the route.
At Tiger Catamarans, every charter is 100% private. We don’t do shared bookings. Your group boards, the skipper casts off, and Sydney Harbour is yours.
