Step aboard Barefoot, one of Sydney Harbour's most versatile and exciting catamarans. This impressive 12-metre vessel combines spacious comfort, stylish design and serious seafaring capability, making it the perfect choice for birthdays, hens parties, corporate events and brilliant harbour cruises.

What sets Barefoot apart is her reputation as a proven offshore expedition vessel. During the winter months, she regularly ventures beyond Sydney Heads to explore remote stretches of coastline and open ocean, showcasing both the capability of the boat and the expertise of her highly experienced skipper and crew. This offshore pedigree provides guests with added confidence, knowing they're aboard a vessel designed to handle far more than the calm waters of Sydney Harbour.

In summer, Barefoot transforms into the ultimate floating entertainment venue. Relax on the spacious decks, drop anchor for a swim, or step ashore via the convenient rear access to discover secluded beaches and hidden harbour coves. Onboard you'll find a BBQ, fully equipped galley, comfortable saloon with plush lounges, panoramic windows, flat-screen TV and AC power, allowing you to even bring your own DJ and sound equipment to keep the party atmosphere going all day long.

Whether you're planning a laid back day on the water or a celebration to remember, Barefoot delivers a fun balance of adventure, comfort and party vibes. Secure your date today with Boat Hire Sydney the Harbour from a vessel that's equally at home exploring the open ocean as it is hosting an kicking party.

Was meant to be my partners surprise 30th birthday party and it felt like it's everyone's birthday that day! . What an epic day!

Absolutely awesome! Pippa was great, really responsive and easy to deal with. The guys were awesome, exceeded any of our expectations. Best part, we didn't have to think once about coordinating anything once on board (the guys helped themselves to our eskies and catering and ensured everything was ready before we had to think about it) couldn't fault them. We're hard out organising our next charter in time for Christmas, hands down the best experience..

Where can we pickup and dropoff?

Where can we go on the cruise?

One of Barefoot's biggest advantages is her offshore capability and highly experienced skipper. While many charters explore Sydney Harbour's iconic locations such as Athol Bay, Rose Bay, Shark Island and Middle Harbour, your skipper can tailor the itinerary to suit the weather, your interests and the duration of your charter.

How long is the cruise?

In peak seasons the minimum cruise is 4 hours. We can accommodate 5-6 hours depending on the event your hosting if you require a longer day. In non-peak times we can provide 3 hours cruises

What should I bring with me?

For BYO charters, we recommend bringing your food, drinks, ice, sunscreen, towel, sunglasses and a light jacket for cooler evenings. Most importantly, bring your friends and a sense of adventure and we'll take care of the rest.

Are children and babies allowed?

Yes. Barefoot welcomes guests of all ages and is a fantastic option for family celebrations. Child-sized life jackets are available, and we recommend advising us of any children attending when making your booking.

What happens in poor weather?

Sydney Harbour cruises operate in most weather conditions and light rain will not usually affect your charter. Barefoot has comfortable covered areas onboard, and if severe weather makes it unsafe to operate, alternative arrangements such as postponement options will be discussed with you as early as possible.

What is the security bond for?

Security Bond: This is pre-authorised on a credit card and held by a 3rd party a few working day before your cruise. Funds will only be claimed if there is damage to the boat - which rarely happens but its like an insurance policy for the boat owner on every cruise. Funds are released pending no claims and reappear 2-3 business days later in your account.

Footwear - are there any restrictions?

Barefoot charters. Let's go barefoot!
