With maximum passenger numbers of 40, enjoy plenty of photo opportunities amongst the views of the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Luna Park and other lit up locations, as you cruise on the water with amazing views and hospitality.

Canapes + 1 complimentary beverage will be provided (select from beer, wine, soft drink or juice). This vessel is a licensed premise, so further drinks will be available for purchase on board. BYO is not permitted.

Additional Info

Public transportation options are available nearby

Specialized infant seats are available

Suitable for all physical fitness levels

Passengers of all ages must be accounted for to ensure that the maximum number of passengers aboard the boat is not exceeded.

Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately and wear warm clothing.

Please note the departure location - Pier 2, Walsh Bay. This can be easily located in Google Maps or other navigation systems. The wharf is a public wharf, so specific Vivid signage is limited.

Upon arrival to the wharf, look for a Sea Sydney Harbour representative, who will be marking names off before you board the vessel. If you do not see the vessel or a company representative upon arrival, please wait patiently at the wharf as either one will not be too far away.

As the city is busy during the Vivid Sydney Festival, plan your travel time well and plan to arrive at the wharf 15-20 minutes prior to departure time. The vessel is unable to wait for late arrivals and due to limited ticket numbers a reschedule will not be an option.

Sydney harbour at night together with the Vivid lights is dazzling . An uncrowded & relaxed way to experience it. The canapes were generous & staff friendly.

It was a walk ok. The salts were good, but the passes through Harbour Bridge and Opera House are very fast, if you see more of the buildings right. It's fair by the amount charged
A must do experience

The views were amazing the boat had a lot of outdoor seating which made it easier to see the light show. The staff were friendly and the snacks were very good, although make sure to eat beforehand because they aren’t meant to fill you up.
