Description

Step aboard La Dolce Vita, one of the classiest and most distinctive private charter boats on Sydney Harbour. Hand-crafted in Italy and polished to perfection, this Comitti wooden speed boat is known locally as the “Italian wooden speed boat” — a timeless blend of elegance and character that turns any occasion into something truly special.

Originally purchased by its Italian owner purely for private enjoyment, La Dolce Vita was never meant to be hired out. Yet its undeniable charm quickly drew attention, making it one of Sydney’s most requested boats for romantic escapes, wedding transfers and VIP Harbour cruises. Today, it remains in pristine condition, lovingly maintained as though it were still kept solely for personal use, so every guest can enjoy the same flawless presentation and authentic luxury.

Designed for intimate moments, La Dolce Vita carries up to four guests, offering an experience closer to a private water limousine than a typical charter. It’s a favourite choice for newlyweds whisked away from their reception, couples toasting anniversaries as the city sparkles in the background, or anyone wanting to arrive in unmistakable style. Adding to its charm, the captain can wear either a traditional Italian captain’s uniform or a gondolier outfit, bringing a playful and memorable touch of Venice to Sydney Harbour.

Whether it’s a sunset cruise, a stylish arrival, or simply a moment to share Champagne and conversation on the water, La Dolce Vita transforms every transfer or short charter into something unforgettable. With minimum hire from just 1.5 hours, it offers the Italian boating experience without the need for a long cruise — perfect for those seeking elegance, romance and timeless design in one beautifully maintained vessel.
