Which catamaran is best for a 30th birthday party?

For 30ths with 30+ guests, Tiger 3 or Tiger 4 gives you the biggest party decks — up to 43 guests with room for a dance floor and BBQ. For smaller milestone dinners, Tigeress's lounge layout seats up to 30 guests in a premium setting.

How many guests can I invite to a birthday boat party?

Up to 43 guests on Tiger 3 or Tiger 4, or up to 30 guests on Tigeress. The rate is a flat vessel price, so a smaller guest list costs the same as a full boat — fill it to get the best per-person value.

Where can I hire a party boat near me in Sydney for a birthday?

Tiger Catamarans operates private charters on Sydney Harbour, departing from Rose Bay Wharf. If you're looking for a party boat near you in Sydney, Tiger 3 and Tiger 4 each accommodate up to 43 guests, while Tigeress holds up to 30 guests. All charters are BYO with a licensed skipper and crew included. Check availability online

Can we bring our own food, drinks and decorations?

Yes — birthday charters are fully BYO for food, alcohol and decorations with no corkage fees. Eskies and ice storage are onboard for drinks, the BBQ is available for your food, and NSW RSA rules require food whenever alcohol is served.

How does birthday boat hire work?

Choose your vessel, book your date online, pay a 25% deposit, and receive instant confirmation. The balance is due 1 week before the party, and on the day you board at Rose Bay Wharf 5 minutes before departure.

Which wharf should a birthday party depart from?

Rose Bay Wharf is the free option with no Maritime Fee, easy parking and relaxed boarding. Pickup can also be arranged from Circular Quay, King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour, Barangaroo or McMahons Point with a Maritime Fee applying at those wharves.

What happens if it rains on my birthday charter?

The skipper routes to sheltered bays around Sydney Harbour for wind and light rain, so most charters go ahead. In extreme weather the charter is postponed to a new date rather than cancelled, and your deposit stays valid.
