We've had passengers of all ages ranging from young children to the elderly. The boat is very stable and easy to move around, with steps, guards and hand rails. How many staff will be on the boat? Sea Sydney Cruises takes safety seriously and is one of our main concerns. A qualified skipper will always be in command of Calypso and we hire qualified and personable deckhands. There will always be two staff on board for all events. Length of charter Minimum charter length is 4 hours. Extra time can be organised at an additional cost per hour. Arrival at the wharf We recommend that your party arrives at the wharf 30 minutes prior to your charter. The boats need to book the wharves and have a limited time to pick up and drop off your guests. Preferred pick up and drop off locations Pick up and drop off is generally alongside the Park Hyatt Hotel at Campbell's Cove Pontoon. The route for the day really depends on those passengers on board and is of course dependent on the weather. You tell us what you want to do and we will try to accommodate your needs. Cruising is restricted however to Sydney Harbour. Generally we would suggest motoring along the spectacular shores of the harbour, providing breathtaking views of the city and the eastern suburbs prior to dropping anchor at Taronga Zoo or near Manly at the delightful Quarantine beach. This boat can pick up and drop off at most public and private wharves in Sydney Harbour. Preferable wharves are floating docks. We can advise you of the most suitable wharf near you. Multiple pick up and drop offs We do not recommend multiple pick up and drop offs as this can waste a considerable amount of your charter time. Instead, we are happy to supply you with a water taxi contact number that can deliver or pick up guests at their convenience.
