Private Sydney Harbour Boat Charters
Luxury private boat charters for up to 4 guests
Exclusive. Intimate. Unforgettable.
Welcome to Opal Escape Private Charters, offering luxury private Sydney Harbour boat charters designed for couples, families, and small groups seeking a relaxed, personalised experience on the water. This is not a shared cruise or ticketed tour — it’s an exclusive private boat charter, reserved entirely for you and your guests.
About the Experience
Step aboard Opal with Opal Escape Private Charters, and experience Sydney Harbour at your own pace aboard our beautifully maintained Sea Ray 395. With a maximum of 4 guests, each charter is calm, comfortable, and tailored around what you want to do — whether that’s cruising past iconic landmarks, anchoring in a quiet bay, swimming, or simply relaxing on deck with a drink.
Our private charters are ideal for:
Romantic escapes
Family days on the water
Special celebrations
Visiting guests wanting a premium harbour experience
No crowds. No rushing. Just your own private boat and Sydney Harbour.
What to Expect
All Opal Escape Private Charters blend scenic harbour cruising with time to slow down and enjoy the water.
We don’t race from bay to bay. Instead, we take a relaxed cruise past Sydney’s most recognisable sights — including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge — before anchoring in a sheltered bay where you can:
Swim or paddleboard
Fire up the BBQ
Enjoy lunch or drinks onboard
Relax and take in the surroundings
It’s about quality time on the water, not distance covered.

Pickup & Drop-off Options
We offer two easy pickup options: Pirrama Park Wharf and Cabarita Wharf.
If you choose to start and finish at Cabarita Wharf, we’ll include an extra hour of cruising time at no additional cost. This gives you around 30 minutes each way of relaxed, scenic cruising along the Parramatta River to and from the harbour — a lovely way to ease into the day and wind down at the end.
If you have different requirements or a preferred pickup point, just let us know — we’re always happy to chat and see what we can work out.
