Floating Festival Raft Events vs Private Charter Boat Hire
We have two exciting options to choose from:
1. Join our renowned floating festival raft-up events! We gather a fleet of yachts at Rose Bay Wharf and sail to a secret spot on Sydney Harbour. There, we link up the yachts to create an afternoon party zone with top local DJs spinning tunes. You can reserve an entire yacht or purchase individual tickets. Prices start at *$3000 for a whole yacht and *$165 per person for a single ticket.
2. Prefer a private experience? You can hire a boat exclusively for you and your friends to explore Sydney Harbour without other vessels nearby. Prices for private charters range from *$300 per hour to *$1250 per hour. (*Additional fees may apply.)
