Your Guide to Booking Christmas Party Cruises in Sydney
As organising a Christmas party boat cruise in Sydney can be uncharted territory for many, we have come up with some tips & tricks to make this process easier for you:
- Book in advance – Christmas party venues (and especially boats) in Sydney get booked out quickly, so make sure you plan your Christmas party cruise as soon as possible. Try to set a date well in advance to make sure you hire a top-rated boat and don't have to settle for second best.
- Check the weather – The weather in December in Sydney is known for being very agreeable. However, there is still a considerable possibility of rain. Make sure to check the weather forecast before the event and ask the manager if there is a possibility of setting up a cover over the deck. If that isn't an option, consider getting in some festive raincoats.
In the end, it is up to you to create a vision for your Christmas party on the water, whether it is just enjoying a view of the skyline and the Sydney Opera House on Sydney Harbour, or sailing all the way to Watsons Bay or Manly. No matter what, we will help you bring it to life.
