loader-image

A ticketed NYE yacht cruise allows you to enjoy Sydney Harbour’s world-famous fireworks aboard a luxury yacht, with individual tickets purchased per guest. The yacht, crew, and curated experience are shared with a limited number of guests. Please view the options and information on the NYE TICKETED CRUISE page.

Inclusions vary by cruise but typically include:

  • A luxury yacht experience on Sydney Harbour

  • Professional skipper and crew

  • Prime positioning for both the 9:00 pm and midnight fireworks

  • Premium food and beverage package (details listed on each cruise)

  • Onboard entertainment and music

Specific inclusions are outlined on each cruise listing. Please view the options and information on the NYE TICKETED CRUISE page.

Tickets can be booked online via our secure booking system. Once booked, you will receive a confirmation email with all event details. Please view the options and information on the NYE TICKETED CRUISE page. The booking links can be found on each boat’s page.

Most ticketed NYE cruises operate for 6–7 hours, generally departing in the late afternoon or early evening and returning after the midnight fireworks.

Yes. All Sydney Yacht Club New Year’s Eve charters operate under official NSW Maritime event management plans.

Both options offer an unforgettable way to experience Sydney Harbour on New Year’s Eve. The right choice depends on how you want to celebrate.

Choose a Private Yacht Charter if you want:

  • Complete exclusivity — the yacht is yours alone

  • Total control over your guest list

  • A tailored experience, from catering and beverages to music and styling

  • A private setting for corporate entertaining, milestone celebrations, or VIP guests

  • The flexibility to customise the evening around your group

Private charters are ideal for those seeking privacy, personalisation, and a fully bespoke New Year’s Eve experience.


Choose a Ticketed Yacht Cruise if you want:

  • A luxury harbour experience without booking an entire yacht

  • Per-person pricing is making it more accessible

  • A social atmosphere, perfect for couples, friends, or solo travellers

  • A seamless, all-inclusive evening with food, drinks, and entertainment included

  • Premium fireworks viewing with minimal planning required

Ticketed cruises are perfect for guests who want the magic of New Year’s Eve on the harbour with ease, elegance, and exceptional value.
