Hiring a party boat in Sydney is one of the best ways to celebrate, and Get Loose makes it effortless. With stunning views of Sydney Harbour, your own private vessel becomes a floating venue for the day or night. Choose from a diverse fleet – catamarans for smaller groups, party cruisers for big celebrations, and luxury yachts for a premium experience. Whether you’re planning a birthday, hens or bucks party, corporate function or school formal, we’ll match you with the right boat for your group size and budget.
Every boat hire package can be tailored your way. Keep it simple with BYO drinks and a grazing platter, or go all-out with full catering, a beverage package and onboard entertainment like a DJ, live musician or cheeky show. Most boats come with quality sound systems, indoor and outdoor decks and the option to anchor in a quiet bay for swimming. Our party planners handle the wharf booking, catering and entertainment so all you have to do is step aboard.
Customisable Packages for Every Occasion
Our team helps you tailor every aspect of your boat party. Want to bring your own food and drinks? Easy. Prefer to kick back with full catering and a drinks package? No problem. We offer flexible options for BYO or fully catered experiences, and our suppliers can cover everything from grazing platters to gourmet meals, cocktails to craft beer.
Looking to dial up the entertainment? We’ve got you covered. Add live DJs, acoustic performers, topless hosts, cheeky shows, or themed entertainment to take the party to the next level. Whether you’re after something classy or a little more outrageous, we’ll help you find the right balance.

Most boats have a 4 hour cruise duration particularly in the peak season i.e. Summer, and the time is generally 12.00pm/1.00pm to 4.00pm-5.00pm or 5.00pm-6.00pm to 9.00pm/10.00pm.
Some boats allow for 3 hour cruises, especially in non-peak season i.e. Winter.
5 hour cruises are rare and subject to availability. They are however popular on special occasions like the Australia Day and Boxing Day public holidays and the Harbourlife Festival. On New Years Eve the charters are 6 hours duration but pricing is on request – quite pricey!
Check out our boat profiles as we have listed as much information about duration, timing and pricing as you can possibly find.
Sydney Harbour offers abundant sightseeing opportunities due to its impressive size. You can expect to explore essential vantage points, stretching from Darling Harbour, Luna Park, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House, Taronga Zoo and the Royal Botanical Gardens in the CBD, all the way to Watsons Bay at the ocean’s entrance via the Eastern Suburbs or the North Shore, ensuring a complete Sydney Harbour experience.
Additionally, the experienced captain/skipper will adjust the route as needed to accommodate weather conditions.
You can also anchor at well-known harbour beaches for a swim in the crystal clear waters of Seven Shillings Beach, Neilsen Park and Camp Cove in the East, or Athol Bay, Clontarf Beach, Chinaman’s Beach and Balmoral Beach in the North.
Some landmark islands you may pass include Cockatoo Island, Garden Island, Fort Denison, Goat Island and Shark Island.
Get Loose is a specialist in entertainment, so we deliver all-inclusive experiences. You can book everything in one place with us.
For Birthdays our DJ Hire and Live Entertainers such as Bongo Drummers, Saxophonists and Guitarists are popular.
For Bucks and Gents Parties our Topless Waitresses and Female Strippers are a must.
For Hens and Ladies Parties our Topless Waiters, Male Strippers and Drag Queens are a hit.

On large function boats there is space for Brazilian Dance Shows, Burlesque Dance Shows, Belly Dancers and Photobooths.
If you want any Live Music not listed on our website (such as a Live Band), or even an MC, feel free to request a custom quote.
We can also arrange Photographers.
Many boats also have Water Activities such as Floating Water Mats (Lilypads), Stand-up Paddleboards and Inflatable Water Toys.
In the case of any wet weather the charter will still proceed. If the water is choppy the skipper will simply avoid deep waters. You can check the weather forecast here. Only if the skipper deems the water too dangerous will the cruise be rescheduled. Thankfully this is super rare.
Catamarans and yachts will typically ask you to take your shoes off onboard, or wear white non-marking shoes. This is because the surfaces on the boats are quite delicate fiberglass or polished timber. High heels are also not welcome due to the rocking movement of these vessels especially in unpredictable weather. Wedge shoes are generally ok where shoes are permitted.
