Ocean Life (formerly known as Zeus before 2025) was purpose-built for Sydney Harbour charters, which means it’s all about open space, good vibes, and unforgettable days on the water. Unlike many charter boats packed with cabins and indoor areas you’ll never use, Ocean Life is designed with a huge open-plan layout that’s perfect for day cruises, birthdays, bucks parties, hens parties, work events, and laid-back Harbour get-togethers.
There’s plenty of room to spread out, fire up the massive BBQ, chill on the front nets with a drink in hand, or anchor up for a swim in one of Sydney’s beautiful secluded bays. Thanks to its catamaran design, Ocean Life can get in close to beaches and calm bays, making it ideal for swimming, relaxing, and soaking up the Harbour atmosphere. In fact, this boat is even capable of beaching in certain spots for the ultimate summer experience.
What really sets Ocean Life apart from other catamarans is the extra power onboard. With large motors and faster cruising speeds, you’ll spend less time getting there and more time enjoying Sydney Harbour. The clear weatherproof sides help keep everyone comfortable if the weather changes, while the two large opening sunroofs let the sunshine and sea breeze pour in on those perfect Sydney days.
There’s comfortable seating for all guests, including a long front bench seat right by the nets, one of the best spots onboard for Harbour views and sunset photos.
Ocean Life is also surveyed for offshore cruising, giving you more flexibility for your charter experience. Pricing varies depending on group size, with rates starting from $360 per hour for up to 20 guests. Surcharges apply for larger groups.
