Harbourlife Boat Hire Guide
Can I hire a boat to experience the Harbourlife music festival?
Yes! Harbourlife is one of Sydney’s most popular waterfront music festivals, and hiring a private boat is a fantastic way to enjoy the atmosphere from the water. Our vessels can anchor in permitted areas near the event so you can hear the music and soak in the vibe.
Where do the boats anchor during Harbourlife?
Our skippers will anchor your boat in designated safe zones close to the event at Mrs Macquarie’s Point. These locations are selected for optimal views and sound, while adhering to Maritime NSW regulations
Do I need tickets to Harbourlife if I’m on a boat?
No, you don't need festival tickets if you’re watching from a private boat. While you won't have direct access to the land-based festival, you’ll still enjoy the music and atmosphere from the harbour.
Can we bring our own food and drinks on board?
Absolutely! Most of our boats are BYO-friendly, or you can opt for one of our catered packages. Just let us know your preference when booking.
How many people can we have on our boat?
Boat capacity varies depending on the vessel. We offer options for small groups of 10 up to larger party boats for 40+ guests. Let us know your group size and we’ll recommend the best boat for your Harbourlife experience.
How long can we hire the boat for?
Standard charters range are 4 hours, but we can be flexible to extend and discuss exact timing of your hire duration to match your group’s preferences.
Will there be a skipper on board?
Yes, all our charters include a professional, licensed skipper (and crew where needed) to ensure a safe and stress-free experience. No special boating experience is necessary.
How far in advance should I book for Harbourlife?
Harbourlife is a high-demand event and boat bookings fill up quickly—often months in advance. We recommend securing your vessel as early as possible to avoid missing out
