Most people assume a private cruise on Sydney Harbour is much more expensive than a public cruise, but that's not necessarily the case.

Plus, there are a host of reasons why a private cruise really creates a unique, memorable experience that you just won't find from the larger and more impersonal vessels.

Whether you're a local Sydneysider looking to rediscover your own harbour, or a visitor seeking something beyond the typical tourist trail, a private cruise on Sydney Harbour is an unforgettable way to experience one of the most iconic coastlines in the world.

Affordability

By sharing the cost among your group, a private cruise compares well to some individual ticket prices on larger craft.

For example, the price of a private cruise with Sydney Luxury Cruise starts at AUD$780 for up to 6 guests, just over $130 per person.

Some other operators ask a similar price, but you'll often be cruising on a crowded vessel with people you don't know, and no choice over where you will go.

The real value lies not just in the cost per person, but in what you receive in return: exclusivity, flexibility, and a tailored experience. For special occasions, corporate functions or family outings, it’s an experience that delivers far more than a standard ticketed cruise ever could.

Personalised Experience

You have a dedicated crew and skipper at your service. You receive personalised attention, ensuring that your whims and desires are met throughout the journey.

You can customise every aspect of your journey, from the duration of the cruise to the specific sights you'd like to explore.

Your private skipper can guide you to hidden gems, secluded beaches, and stunning vantage points, ensuring that you make the most of your time on Sydney Harbour.

Want to set up the perfect photo opportunity? You dictate the location, angle, backdrop and time taken to create the memories you'll cherish forever.

A private cruise on Sydney Harbour gives you freedom. You’re not just along for the ride - you’re shaping the experience. Whether it’s a romantic sunset, a morning with dolphins, or a slow cruise past the Harbour Bridge, the journey is yours.

Privacy and Comfort

You don't have to worry about jostling for a spot to get the best view, dealing with crowds, or sharing facilities with strangers.

Instead, you can enjoy the comfort and spaciousness of the vessel, with plenty of room to move around and relax.

Whether you're lounging on the sun deck, enjoying a gourmet meal, or engaging in activities, you do so without the distractions common to ticketed events.

This sense of privacy enhances every moment on board. It creates space for real connection - with friends, loved ones, or colleagues — in a setting that feels relaxed and exclusive.

From toasting under a starlit sky to witnessing iconic landmarks from a unique perspective, every moment on board is your own treasured memory.

To plan your perfect route, take inspiration from the official Sydney attractions guide, which highlights many landmarks best viewed from the water.
