NYE Ticketed Cruise

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.

Most ticketed cruises offer a premium canapés or buffet menu, along with a generous beverage package that may include champagne, wine, beer, and soft drinks. Menu details and beverage inclusions are listed on each cruise page. Please view the options and information on the NYE TICKETED CRUISE page.

BYO food and beverages are generally not permitted on ticketed cruises, as catering is included. Exceptions may apply for specific dietary requirements with prior notice.

Seating is typically unassigned for a cocktail-style event, allowing guests to move between indoor and outdoor areas. Outdoor decks are accessible throughout the evening for fireworks viewing, subject to safety guidelines.

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.
