Celebrate New Year's Eve in prestige style. Choose from a range of private boat hires or ticketed cruises for your front-row seats to the fireworks spectacular.
New Year's Eve in Australia is a major celebration marked by fireworks, parties and festivities. Throughout the country, each city marks the occasion in style. The fireworks are usually divided into two main displays: first family-friendly fireworks between 8 to 9.30 pm and then midnight fireworks to welcome in the New Year. These displays are synchronised with music and are known for their creativity and spectacular visuals.
The events attract both locals and tourists from around the world. There is a high demand for our hire boats, so book in advance. Don't delay talking to one of our cruise specialists who can advise you of the best options for your preferred style of occasion and budget.
Here's some information about our New Year's Eve offerings:
• Huge choice of options: catering to all preferences with different types of boats, dining and entertainment. Whichever option you choose, expect to have an unforgettable cruising experience on New Year's Eve.
• Views of fireworks: the highlight of a New Year's Eve boat hire is undoubtedly experiencing the fireworks displays. Wherever your vessel is situated, you'll have a great view of the dazzling fireworks display over the waterfront, city skylines, or coastal landscapes.
• Skippered vessels: our boat hires come with skippers and in some instances crew, and optional extras of waiting and security staff and DJs.
• Dining and entertainment: most of the boats offer options for BYO food or catering with BBQ, buffet, cocktail or fine dining menus. The bigger boats offer licensed bars, the option of a dance floor and the chance to hire a DJ. Most of the boats have good sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity to play guests’ playlists.
• Seating and facilities: each of the boats offers various seating arrangements, from indoor saloon and dining areas to seating on outdoor decks. We recommend you choose an option that will work for you and your group, to ensure your comfort on this memorable evening.
• Pick-up and drop-off locations: many of our hire boats have different wharf options for embarkation and disembarkation. Talk to one of our specialists about which wharf would best suit you and your guests.
