Anniversary Cruise
Sydney Harbour
Private catamaran hire for two — or up to 43 guests. BYO. Skipper included. From $2,200.
Tiger Catamarans offers private anniversary cruises on Sydney Harbour — fully BYO, skipper and crew included, departing from Rose Bay Wharf or Circular Quay. Up to 43 guests. Standard 4-hour charter from $2,200.
Why Celebrate Your Anniversary on Sydney Harbour?
There’s no better backdrop for a milestone anniversary than the Harbour City. The Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, the sparkling water — it’s an experience that’s impossible to replicate at a restaurant or function venue.
Tiger Catamarans gives you a private vessel, a professional skipper, and the freedom to bring your own food, drinks, and music. Whether it’s just the two of you, a group of close friends, or an extended family celebration, the format works for any anniversary.
Our fleet caters to intimate gatherings and large groups alike — from quiet milestone moments to full-scale anniversary parties with up to 43 guests aboard. You can also explore our catering packages if you’d prefer to have food handled for you.
Who Is an Anniversary Charter Ideal For?
An anniversary cruise on Sydney Harbour suits couples celebrating any milestone — first anniversaries, silver (25th), golden (50th), or anything in between. It also works perfectly for surprise celebrations organised by family or friends.
The format is flexible. A couple wanting an intimate sunset cruise can hire a vessel privately with just a skipper and crew. A family or friendship group wanting to host a proper anniversary party can take the same boat and fill it to capacity.
What’s Included in Your Anniversary Charter
- Private catamaran for the full charter duration (4 hours standard)
- Professional skipper and crew — fully licensed
- BYO food and alcohol — no corkage fees, no bar minimums
- Eskies and ice provided
- Bluetooth sound system
- 2 toilets onboard
- Deck space for dining, dancing, or lounging
If you’d like catering organised, Tiger Catamarans offers optional catering packages ranging from grazing platters to full canape service. Decorations, flowers, and personalised touches are all welcome onboard — the crew are happy to help set up before guests arrive.
How Much Does an Anniversary Cruise Cost?
Anniversary cruises on Sydney Harbour start from $550 per hour. The standard charter is 4 hours, making the entry price $2,200. This is a flat rate — the cost is the same regardless of guest numbers, so the more people you bring, the better the per-head value.
| Duration | Rate | Total (approx) |
|---|---|---|
| 4 hours (standard) | $550/hr | From $2,200 |
| 5 hours | $550/hr | From $2,750 |
| 6 hours | $550/hr | From $3,300 |
The rate is the same across all three vessels in the Tiger Catamarans fleet — Tiger 3, Tiger 4, and Tigeress. The difference is in guest capacity and onboard space, not price. All pricing is exclusive of the Maritime Fee if departing from a wharf other than Rose Bay.

How to Book Your Anniversary Cruise
When to Book
Sydney Harbour is beautiful year-round, but summer weekends (October through March) book out quickly — sometimes 6–8 weeks in advance. For a Saturday evening in December or January, we recommend enquiring at least 2 months ahead.
Weekday charters and off-peak winter dates offer more flexibility. If you have a specific anniversary date that falls mid-week, there’s often availability with shorter notice.
