Who books private tours
Every occasion deserves
the best view in the city
Private tours are for people who want the full experience — without sharing it with strangers. Whatever your occasion, we'll make it extraordinary.
Birthdays & Anniversaries
Mark a milestone the way it deserves. A private fleet on Sydney Harbour — just your people, moving at your pace, with your guide capturing every moment. The gift no one expected and everyone talks about.
Corporate Team Events
The harbour has a way of levelling everyone — CEOs and graduates alike grinning at the wheel of a speedboat. Three boats, six people, one unforgettable afternoon. The team building activity they'll actually remember.
Family Groups & Reunions
From 8 to 80, everyone drives their own boat. Parents, grandparents, teenagers — this is the rare experience that genuinely thrills all ages equally. Choose your own pace and let every generation have their moment.
Proposals & Romantic Occasions
There are few settings on earth more spectacular for a proposal than the Opera House from the water, at golden hour, on your own private boat. We'll work with you to make the moment exactly right — just ask.
Visiting Friends & Family
When someone comes to Sydney from overseas or interstate, you want to show them something they can't get anywhere else. A private harbour tour is the Sydney experience that makes Sydneysiders look like heroes.
Special Events & Celebrations
Hen parties, retirements, graduations, farewells — we've hosted them all. If there's a reason to celebrate, Sydney Harbour is the venue and a private fleet is the centrepiece. Tell us what you're celebrating and we'll tailor it.

Expert personal guide
Dirk or one of our experienced guides stays alongside your fleet throughout. Commentary, stories, local knowledge — and someone to take the photos you actually want.
Full safety briefing
Comprehensive on-water safety instruction and driving lesson before departure. Life jackets provided and fitted. No experience required — none at all.
Photos throughout
Your guide captures the moments you can't take yourself — action shots at speed, landmark photos with perfect framing, candid smiles from boat to boat.
Your departure time
Unlike public tours with fixed time slots, private bookings choose their own departure time. Early morning light, golden hour, mid-morning — whatever suits your group.
Guided commentary
History, stories, local secrets and the occasional surprise — your guide brings the harbour to life at every stop. Private guests can also request custom route adjustments.
Flexible itinerary
Want to linger at a particular spot? Celebrate at a specific location? Private groups have the flexibility to pause, re-route or customise in ways public tours can't. Just ask.
What private guests say
The stories they
still tell
Birthday
★★★★★
"I booked this as a 50th birthday surprise for my husband. He said it was the best birthday of his life — and I've known him for 25 years. Having the boats entirely to ourselves made it completely personal. Worth every cent."

Corporate Event
★★★★★
"We took our international sales team out the day before our conference. Three boats, six people, absolute chaos in the best possible way. Everyone arrived at the venue the next morning still talking about it. Dirk handled everything seamlessly."

Family Reunion
★★★★★
"Four generations — my parents in their 70s, us, and our kids. I was nervous about the mix but everyone absolutely loved it. My mother, who said she'd 'just watch from the boat', ended up racing my teenager to Kirribilli. Genuinely magical."
