Rose Bay is one of Sydney Harbour’s finest settings — a sheltered, leafy bay on the eastern shoreline that puts your group within striking distance of some of the harbour’s most iconic landmarks. Departing from Rose Bay Marina, you’re minutes from Double Bay, Watson’s Bay, Shark Island, and the open harbour beyond, with the Harbour Bridge and Opera House reachable in under 30 minutes on the water.
Tiger Catamarans operates private catamaran charters from Rose Bay Marina year-round. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday in the Eastern Suburbs, hosting a corporate event, or planning a hens party with a scenic harbour backdrop, a Rose Bay boat hire puts you on the water in style — from $2,200 for 4 hours.
Check availability for your date. Rose Bay departures book quickly on weekends.
Why Depart from Rose Bay Marina?
Rose Bay Marina sits on Sydney Harbour’s eastern shore, making it the natural departure point for guests coming from the Eastern Suburbs, Inner East, and Eastern Beaches. It offers a calm, sheltered embarkation away from the bustle of Circular Quay or Darling Harbour — ideal for groups who want a relaxed, premium boarding experience.
Rose Bay is moments from Double Bay, Woollahra, Paddington, Bondi, and Edgecliff — no CBD traffic for your guests, no parking nightmares.
The bay itself is postcard-worthy. Your photos start before you even board — with manicured foreshore, moored yachts, and the harbour glittering beyond.
Rose Bay’s protected position means calmer conditions at boarding, even when the outer harbour has a chop. Great for guests who are new to boating.
From Rose Bay, your charter can head east to Watson’s Bay and The Heads, or west toward the Bridge and Opera House — the best of both directions.
