Hang up the apron this Christmas and let our crew wait on you. Come aboard one of our ticketed cruises or hire boats for an extraordinary Christmas celebration with stunning views.
You can book your ideal boat hire on Sydney Harbour for Christmas Day right here. Our fleet ranges from intimate yachts for small families to large catamarans for big gatherings.
Why book your Christmas Day with Prestige Harbour Cruises:
Christmas Day on Sydney Harbour is the busiest date on the calendar. You need to book your vessel months in advance to secure the best options. The most popular catamarans usually book out by August. A private charter gives your family exclusive access to the water without the crowds. You get a dedicated crew to handle the navigation while you celebrate with your loved ones. Booking early guarantees you get the exact boat style you want. It also gives you plenty of time to plan your menu and invite your guests.
Your skipper will anchor in a calm bay for a swim before lunch is served on deck, with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge as your backdrop. Once you're aboard, the only real decision left is when to jump in for a swim.
Sydney Harbour has hundreds of secluded beaches and coves. Your skipper knows the best spots to drop anchor on Christmas Day. Popular destinations include Athol Bay and Milk Beach. These locations offer flat water and great views. You can jump off the back of the boat for a swim before lunch.
Our fleet ranges from small yachts for couples to large catamarans with generous deck space for bigger family groups. You can choose a fully catered package with a private chef on board, or a bareboat option if you'd rather bring your own Christmas lunch. Luxury motor yachts suit a quieter, more comfortable day on the water, while catamarans give large families room to spread out and entertain.
A bareboat charter with us always includes a professional skipper. You bring your festive lunch and drinks. We provide the eskies, ice, and BBQ facilities on most boats. This is a highly requested option for traditional Australian Christmas seafood lunches.
Our fleet ranges from small yachts for couples to large catamarans that comfortably host bigger groups for the day. We also have large capacity vessels for major corporate or social events on other dates.
