Looking to book a Christmas party on Sydney Harbour?
View Christmas Party Boat Hire Sydney →Christmas party planning in Sydney comes down to one question: are you going to book the same restaurant function room as last year, or are you going to do something everyone actually remembers? A private catamaran hire on Sydney Harbour is the latter. Tiger Catamarans has been running Christmas party charters for years — groups of 15 and groups of 43, work teams and friendship circles, lunch sessions and sunset cruises.
The format is simple: your group boards at Circular Quay, King Street Wharf, or Rose Bay Wharf, you BYO everything you want, and Sydney Harbour does the rest. From $2,200 for 4 hours.
Christmas dates fill fast — book early to avoid missing out.
Why a Catamaran Beats Every Other Christmas Party Venue in Sydney
Function rooms book out. Restaurants charge corkage. Rooftop bars have minimum spends. A private catamaran charter sidesteps all of that and delivers something no venue can match — complete exclusivity on one of the world’s great harbours, in the middle of summer.
- 100% private — your group only
- Fully BYO — no bar minimums
- Sydney Harbour backdrop all day
- From $2,200 for 4 hours, 43 guests
- Flexible timing, your playlist
- Shared spaces, noise from other events
- Bar minimums and corkage fees
- Generic indoor setting
- Often more expensive per head
- Set menus, fixed timing
