The vessel features a dedicated dining area, renovated bars on multiple levels, a VIP section with floor-to-ceiling windows and table service, an open-air rooftop dance floor, three independent sound systems, and full air conditioning throughout. All cruises depart from King Street Wharf in Darling Harbour — centrally located and easy to reach by public transport, taxi, or ride-share.
We offer several charter packages to suit different event types and budgets. Private vessel hire starts from $4,000 for a 4-hour cruise and gives you exclusive use of the entire boat. Birthday packages start from $120 per person, corporate events from $100 per person, and university parties from just $65 per person — all including food and drinks.
