Australia Day Boat Hire

Celebrate Australia Day with an unforgettable boat hire cruise. Get front-row seats to events such as the fireworks displays and Ferrython race.

An Australia Day cruise is an exciting way to celebrate on January 26th, marking the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson in 1788. On this day, Australians come together to honour the nation’s rich culture, history and achievements.

Here’s what our Australia Day boat hires include, depending on your vessel choice:
• Wide range of options: to suit all budgets and preferences. No matter which vessel you choose, you’re in for an unforgettable celebration.
• Skippered vessels: our boat hires come with experienced skippers, and some include additional crew. Optional extras include waiting staff and DJs for added entertainment.
• Scenic views: as you cruise past iconic waterfronts, such as Sydney Harbour, Brisbane River, or Melbourne's Yarra River, and take in the breathtaking scenery.
• Fireworks displays: are hosted in many cities and towns host for Australia Day. Watching from the water is a magical way to celebrate.
• Convenient pick-up and drop-off locations: many of our hire boats have different wharf options for embarkation and disembarkation. With multiple wharf options, embarkation and disembarkation can be arranged at locations that best suit you and your guests. Our specialists can help you plan the best options.
• Dining and entertainment: choose from BYO food or catered options, including BBQ, buffet, cocktail, or fine dining menus. Larger boats feature licensed bars, dance floors, and the option to hire a DJ. Most boats also have sound systems with Bluetooth for playing your own playlist.
• Activities and water toys: add some excitement during your boat hire, with options for swimming, lily pads, floating islands, or standup paddleboards, depending on the boat.
