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.
+
Can we bring a baby? Is there an age limit? Are they counted as guests?
Yes babies are allowed onboard - there is no age limit. Yes, kids of all ages are included in your guest count.
If you have young kids coming, please let us know in advance.
+
What happens in poor weather?
SEADUCTION has enough inside and undercover space for all guests. The back deck can also be enclosed in bad weather. In some extreme weather, some wharfs may not be available and will be substituted with somewhere more sheltered.
+
Are there any water toys onboard?
Absolutely! A large floating lilypad is included, which is perfect for relaxing in the water during swim stops. You can also hire an inflatable pool (subject to availability and extra charges apply), and if you’re bringing your own inflatables, we can provide an electric pump to make setup easy.
+
Smoking - is it permitted and are there any restrictions?
Smoking is permitted, but only in designated areas. In paticulat on the back deck. This helps keep the indoor spaces fresh and comfortable for all guests while still allowing smokers a place to enjoy.
+

Seaduction is fitted with a premium BOSE sound system with both indoor and outdoor speakers, so your music flows throughout the entire boat. You can easily connect via Bluetooth or AUX, making it simple to play your own playlists and set the vibe for your cruise.
+
Can we have a DJ?
Yes, Seaduction has a dedicated DJ setup area inside the cabin. If you’re planning to bring a DJ, just let the team know in advance so everything can be prepared. Keep in mind there are harbour noise restrictions, and space can feel tighter with a full guest list
