What Sydney Guests Say About Tiger Catamarans
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Darling Harbour is one of the wharves Tiger Catamarans uses for pickups and drop-offs on Sydney Harbour, alongside Rose Bay Wharf, Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Barangaroo, McMahons Point and Watsons Bay. Charters departing from Darling Harbour incur a Maritime Fee on top of the $2,200 four-hour rate, while departure from Rose Bay Wharf has no Maritime Fee. Tell us your preferred wharf when you book and we confirm the exact pickup point and boarding time.
Tiger 3 and Tiger 4 each carry up to 43 guests, and Tigeress carries up to 30. All three are private catamarans with a qualified commercial skipper and crew, 2 toilets onboard, large eskies for BYO food and drinks, and a Bluetooth sound system. Groups of 30 or fewer usually take Tigeress; groups up to 43 take Tiger 3 or Tiger 4, both of which collect from Darling Harbour.
Weekend afternoon slots usually book one to three weeks ahead, and November and December dates go earlier because of Christmas parties and end-of-year events. New Year’s Eve books out months in advance. If you have a fixed date, booking early locks in both the vessel and Darling Harbour – a 25% deposit secures it, with the balance due two weeks before the charter.
