Length of charter

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
Our base at Rose Bay Marina is our main pick up / drop off point due to the ample off street parking and easy access for you and your guests to the wharf and the vessel.
Other pick up/drop off points are available e.g. King Street Wharf. Please note that pick ups other than Rose Bay Marina will attract an additional fee to cover wharf bookings and skippers time to get to your location.
Please keep in mind that at other locations, you may have a lengthy walk with food and eskies.
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.
Entertainment options
Yes, the vessel is equipped with a CD radio system. Bring a selection of your favourite CD’s or iPod.
Catering
We can recommend some excellent caterers for you to speak with to design and deliver the perfect menu to suit your budget and taste.
Although Sydney Harbour Escapes is not a licensed supplier of liquor, if you are boarding at Rose Bay Marina, we recommend you call Rose Bay Drive-in Liquor Store (see link below), where you can pay by credit card over the phone and have your choice of alcohol delivered to
BYO options
