Step aboard this beautifully maintained 52-foot Ranger motor yacht and enjoy a private Sydney Harbour cruise filled with timeless elegance, relaxed luxury and classic old-world charm. With her rich timber finishes, gleaming teak flooring and traditional motor yacht styling, this vessel offers a warm and sophisticated atmosphere that feels worlds away from the ordinary modern party boat experience.

One of the standout features onboard is the spacious elevated aft deck, perfectly positioned for taking in the stunning harbour views while enjoying cocktails, long lunches or sunset dining with friends, family or colleagues. The open-sided layout creates a wonderful connection to the water and harbour surrounds, while drop-down clears provide comfort and protection from the elements when needed, allowing for enjoyable cruising in all conditions.

Inside, the luxurious saloon showcases beautiful teak floors, polished timber cabinetry, elegant glass displays and soft cream lounge seating across two separate entertaining areas. The ambiance is refined yet inviting, combining the character of a classic motor yacht with the comfort and service expected from a premium Sydney Harbour charter experience.

Guests can also make the most of the swim platform for a refreshing harbour dip before stretching out on the forward sun lounges to relax and soak up the Sydney sunshine. Whether you’re hosting a sophisticated corporate event, intimate celebration, family gathering or relaxed harbour cruise, this yacht delivers exceptional service, a knowledgeable crew and a truly memorable experience on the water.

Please note: to help preserve the beautiful teak finishes onboard, stiletto heels and black-soled shoes are not permitted.

Everyone I spoke to was absolutely amazing, thank you so much to Pippa, Reyna and Nikki. My birthday cruise was a dream and somehow the rain stayed away for most of the afternoon. Thank you! WHAT A CRACKER DAY!
