Wharf Availability Advisory
Sydney Harbour has limited commercial wharves, many of which must be booked in advance. Availability, especially in the CBD, is limited and cannot be guaranteed - it is best to secure the wharf of your choice immediately once you decide to book.
If your preferred wharf is unavailable, the Operator will advise available alternatives, which may include a different location or a change to departure or return time.
Popular CBD wharves (including King Street Wharf and The Star Casino) often have restricted availability. Aquarium Wharf, Pirrama Park, Double Bay, and Rose Bay may experience delays, and charter time is not usually extended to compensate.
Once a charter has departed, there is generally no opportunity to return to the wharf for late guests. Organisers should ensure guests arrive at least 15 minutes before departure.
Wharves may be closed or restricted without notice by Transport for NSW / NSW Maritime due to maintenance or operational requirements. While outside our control, we will assist with suitable alternatives where possible.
+
Can you accommodate special dietary needs, allergies, or specific food safety concerns?
We do our best to work with our suppliers to accommodate various dietary requirements (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free). However, because our food is sourced externally, we cannot guarantee a 100% nut-free environment or the complete absence of allergens such as gluten. We encourage you to let us know in advance about any serious allergies or dietary needs so we can liaise with our caterers.
If your charter is BYO (Bring Your Own) catering, please note that we are not responsible for the quality, storage, or safety of food or beverages brought on board by guests. We recommend following proper food-handling practices for any items you bring.
If you or your guests have any significant concerns or severe allergies, please contact us so we can discuss the best way to address them.
+
What is the bond for?
The bond is taken incase there are damages caused by your group during your charter.
The no.1 cause for bond claims is broken toilets so please tell your guests not to flush things like wipes or tampons down the toilets - just a small amount of toilet paper is Ok.
Vomiting around the boat will incur fees. Don't bring Sparklers, confetti balloons, glitter (candles by request only) as they will stain the boat.
