Frequently Asked Questions

What are our most popular boats.

• Our most popular all-round party boat is the Kraken . This versatile 2 level cruiser is owned by party people, for party people!
• Our most popular Catamarans for up to 20 people are the Perfect Day and Woorabinda .
• Our most popular Catamarans for up to 30 people are Kirralee and Alila .

• Our most popular Luxury Cruisers are Fleetwing and Heaven .
• Our most popular Yachts are Seaduction and Aqua Bay .
• Our most popular Large Function Boats are MV Sydney and Jerry Bailey .

• Of course there are plenty of options to explore, but we’ve narrowed some of our favourites for your convenience.
• Planning a Hens or Bucks Party? See our Hens Cruise and Bucks Cruise pages for popular boats with all-inclusive packages.

What style of boat should you choose?

Catamarans are the best value vessels for groups of 10 to 40 people, with plenty of outdoor space and swimming ladders so they are awesome Summer boats. In the colder months they have plastic fold-downs walls incase it gets chilly, and they have sheltered cabins too. Most catamarans require you to bring your own beverages as they don’t have bars onboard. Most have BBQ’s and kitchens with food packages available. You can also bring your own catering.

Cruisers are versatile boats with indoor and outdoor areas for year-round experiences. Some have dancefloors and licensed bars onboard. They range in size for groups of 30 to 100 people and offer great value. Cruisers are fantastic all-round party boats!

Yachts are sleek and sexy vessels that take cruising comfort to the next level. They have everything that cruisers have however they are generally more intimate as they have more furniture for a more relaxed experience, so they don’t all have dance floors. They are also the priciest option, ideal for people seeking a little luxury! Who doesn’t want a luxurious yacht party right?

Large Function Boats are ideal for large groups with everything you need – plenty of space for entertainment and dancing, furniture for comfort, along with large bars and kitchens for fully-catered events. Ideal for big Birthday cruises and Corporate events.

Need help finding the right boat for you? You can  request help here  and our party planners will help you choose the right Sydney Harbour party boat boat and design your own customised package.

What occasions do we cater for?

Get Loose specialises in Birthday Parties , Hens Parties , Bucks Parties and Christmas Parties . We are Sydney’s go-to agency for party boats because we offer everything you need in one place and we know how to throw a good party!

What are the wharf locations?

King St Wharf is the most popular destination for pick-ups and drop-offs because it is in the central CBD so it’s easy for guests to get to.

Other popular locations include the Sydney Aquarium Wharf , Towns Place Wharf at Walsh Bay/Millers Point, Barangaroo Wharf , Star Casino Wharf , Pirrama Park Pyrmont , Woolloomooloo Wharf , Yarranabbe Park Rushcutters Bay , Double Bay Wharf, Rose Bay Wharf and Lavender Bay Wharf .

Some boats can travel to Commissioners Steps Circular Quay , Eastern Pontoon Circular Quay , Campbell’s Cove The Rocks , Mosman Bay Wharf and Manly Wharf .

We’ve made it easy for you to see which wharfs each boat can access, by listing all your options in the ‘availability’ section of the boat profiles.

You can also find a full list of Wharf Locations here but please enquire about availability for your particular boat.

What are the catering options?

Each boat has its own catering menu. Most boats also give you the option to bring your food and beverages if you prefer.

There are generally 3 types of food menus: (1) BBQ Menu, (2) Canape/Platter Menu and (3) Buffet/Banquet Menu. Check out the boat profiles for the detailed menu options available on each vessel.

Some boats have alcohol licenses so they can provide beverage packages also.

You can search for a boat using our filtering options depending on whether you want a food and beverage package or BYO.

We even list the option to search for boats that provide ice and cutlery for you if you decide to BYO.

We provide as much detail as possible to make your boat party planning as easy as it can be.

You can see our event catering page for a description of what each option means.

What facilities do the boats have?

Catamarans typically have swimming platforms, cruisers have dance floors and yachts usually have air conditioning.

You can search for facilities such as these and more above, and check out the boat profiles for a list of facilities included on each boat.

All boats have sound systems onboard and the ability for you to play your own music playlists.

You can also see our facilities page for a description of what each option means.

What are the entertainment options?

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.

For Corporate Christmas Parties , Laser Clay Shooting is a popular team building activity.

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.

Are there any popular boat party themes?

Ahoy there, party enthusiasts! If you’re dreaming of a party that’s afloat with fun and adventure, a harbour cruise isn’t just about floating on water; it’s about creating an unforgettable experience. And what better way to do that than with a theme? From tropical luau to pirate plunder, let your imagination run as wild as the open sea. Encourage your crew to dress the part and prepare for a swashbuckling adventure or a beachy blast! Here are some popular themes to inspire you:

Pirates : Aye Aye, Captain. Unleash your inner Captain Jack Sparrow and encourage your guests to come dressed as swashbucklers, complete with eye patches, tricorn hats, and pirate accents. Search for buried treasure, and have a “walk the plank” content for added fun.

Nautical : Keep it classic with a nautical theme. Think navy and white stripes, anchor décor, and sailor hats. Encourage your guests to dress in sailor attire and serve up some fresh seafood platters.

Retro : Embrace the occasion Beach Boys style with a 50s inspired boat party. Decorate with beach balls, boogie boards, and bright colours. Encourage your guests to wear retro swimwear and play beach games like bingo and volleyball.

Tropical : Set a tropical vibe on deck with leis, tiki torches, and ukulele music. Guests can wear Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts, and flower crowns. Serve up fruity cocktails, fresh seafood, and have a hula dancing contest.

How long is the cruise and what are the times?

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.

Where does the boat go during the charter?

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 .

What happens if it rains?

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.

What can we wear on the boat?

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.

Cruisers are sturdier party boats so no rules usually apply.

We’ve put together some inspiration for you to read here .

Is there an age restriction on the boats?

We do not organise 18th birthday parties.

If any guests under the age of 18 are in attendance they each require an adult guardian and the consumption of alcohol is prohibited.

Can we drop off our catering or decorate before the cruise?

Some boats give you the option to set-up before a charter if it is available. Please refer to the ‘pre-loading’ section of the boat profiles to see your options on locations and pricing if applicable.

What time do we have to arrive at the wharf?

The boat will arrive at the time scheduled. We only ask you to arrive 10 minutes early incase your guests are late as they work to a tight wharf booking schedule, quite like an airport!

How do we get to the wharf?

If you are boarding in the Sydney CBD then it is recommended you ask guests to make their own way using public transport. There is some parking available if you don’t plan to drink. You can see your best ways of getting there here .

If you are boarding at a wharf outside the CBD, or whether you just want the convenience and fun of a Party Shuttle Bus or Stretch Hummer , we can organise that for you too!

Where can we go after the cruise?

There are plenty of bars along King St Wharf such as Cargo Bar and Bungalow 8 where you can either start your day before the cruise or end your night for an after-party. Get Loose has a network of bars and clubs that we work with around town. Check our our Nightclubs and Gentlemen’s Club options.

How do we book a boat?

When you’re ready to book we’ll send you a booking confirmation and once you’ve paid a deposit the boat is all yours! You don’t have to pay the balance until the week before the event, which gives you time to confirm the number of guests attending and make any changes to your package. We’ll send you an itinerary the week of your cruise with a summary of your booking, pick-up location and contact details of your skipper. On the day of your charter please arrive 10 minutes early for pick-up, then relax and take in the views of Sydney Harbour from Cockle Bay all the way to Watsons Bay and everywhere inbetween. We look forward getting you onboard one of our Sydney party boats soon!

Why Get Loose?

We provide an all-inclusive events management service, unlike other agencies that only provide a bare boat booking service. Get Loose is the party planning division of our sister agency Easy Boat Hire . We also provide the most detailed boat profiles you will find in the industry and our website makes it easy to browse boats by your preferences, including catering and facilities available. Furthermore we have close relationships with our suppliers, who we represent as their booking agents. Some boats owners choose only to work with Get Loose because we are super attentive to detail in the interest of our clients, the boats and all the staff involved in the events. You can read more about us here and see our testimonials here . We make it easy for you, so as Dizzee Rascal says – “All you gotta do is Get Loose, let go!”

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can i have on your party boats.

The capacity of our party boats depends on the individual boat you choose and what type of vessel it is. For example, some pontoon boats can fit as many as 950 passengers, while our most popular luxury yachts are best for group events with under 50 guests. Each boat on our website will say how many people it can fit, so be sure to check before booking a boat and only book one if your guest list suits the boat’s capacity. If you’re unsure about the capacity of your boat, don’t hesitate to contact us and inquire.

Can I BYO my food and drinks?

Many of our boats allow you to bring your own food and drinks onboard. Alternatively, you can organise customised catering with us from our extensive menu and bar options. To clarify whether BYO is available for your party vessel, check the boat you want to book on our website or call us at 9328 4748.

Where can we go for our boat party?

For your event, your captain can take you to most places in Sydney Harbour as long as you stay within the surveyed boundaries. If there are any specific places you want to visit or routes you’d like to take, please let us know ASAP so we can make your party as perfect as possible.

Have your DJ play some tunes as your guests take to the dance floor, or challenge your group to a laser clay shooting competition. Next, arrange a swim stop to cool down before getting everyone together for that once-in-a-lifetime photo around the Sydney landmarks. Sounds pretty amazing, right?

When hiring an event boat in Sydney, the cost can range between $500-$2,500 per hour depending on the vessel type and season. Additionally, most boats require a wharf pick up and drop off fee, which is usually around $150-$200. Many event boats provide all-inclusive food and drink packages that come with waitstaff and use of the boat’s sound system. For a fully catered experience, the cost per person can be expected to range from $70-$200. To avoid any unexpected costs on the day, we will provide a breakdown of all expenses upon your enquiry.

Typically, the standard hire time for event boats during the high season (September – April) or on Saturdays throughout the year is 3-4 hours or more, although there are a few vessels that offer 3-hour hires all year round. Meanwhile, most vessels offer 3-hour hires during the low season (May – August) and on weekdays throughout the year.

Floating venues and event boats are generally available for hire during the afternoon or evening. Afternoon hires typically begin at either 12 pm or 1 pm, while evening hires typically start at 5 pm or 6 pm. Please inform us of your preferred time, and we will provide you with information on the available options.

When you hire an event boat in Sydney, it comes with the vessel, a professional skipper, and a crew to navigate and manage the boat. Most boats only offer all-inclusive options or a cash bar, but if you are interested in bringing your own food and drinks, please inform us upon enquiry. In some cases, BYO options are available. We will thoroughly review the details of any event package to ensure that you understand what is included and what additional costs may be applicable.

It’s common for most large event boats to be fully booked a few months in advance, especially on Saturdays during the high season. To secure a spot for your preferred time and date, we recommend booking at least 3 months prior to your event. However, we understand that last-minute bookings may be necessary, and we are more than willing to accommodate them whenever possible. Even if you are organising an event on short notice, we will do our utmost to assist you in finding an available option for your preferred date and time.

While not all function boats provide the option to swim, some function boats allow you to add a swim stop for a small staffing surcharge. Additionally, we have vessels available with a giant water slide for added fun. If your boat has easy water access, the captain can take you to the most secluded and ideal swimming spots. All you have to do is mention your interest in swimming when you make your enquiry, and our team will handle everything else!

The majority of event boats provide all-inclusive packages with popular free-flowing drinks, including canape, BBQ, buffet or platters. To comply with RSA guidelines, it’s mandatory to have enough food on board for all cruises. While some vessels offer BYO food and drinks or a cash bar option, we will inform you of all inclusions and any associated fees when you make your booking. This way, you can plan accordingly and avoid any unexpected expenses. We highly recommend considering the catering options offered by the boat. Our partners provide a diverse selection of delicious food and beverage options, making it easy for you to plan your onboard dining experience. Not only that, but it can also be a more convenient and hassle-free option, allowing you to sit back and enjoy your day on the water.

You can find a list of all the available pick-up and drop-off wharf options here . While it may be possible to choose separate locations for pick-up and drop-off, this option is subject to availability and potential surcharges. Our team will offer suggestions on suitable locations for your group and recommend vessels that can pick you up from your preferred wharf.

Event boats will venture out on the water only in weather conditions that the captain considers safe. In the event of unsafe weather conditions and subsequent cancellation by the captain, you will be issued a voucher for the full value of your booking, which you can use to reschedule within 12 months. Even if it rains, our guests still have a fantastic time on the Harbour – function boats offer ample space to stay dry, thanks to their large undercover areas, and inclement weather can even add to the fun!

Kris W – Jan 2022

I just wanted to thank you and the boat operators for an amazing day out on the harbour. The entire team had a great day, we swam, we shot guns, we danced and we drank!! The food was fabulous and everyone was raving about how good it was. My team have been on a fair few harbour cruises in our time, but none were as fun as this.

Coleen R – July 2022

Definitely had the best time ever in the boat! We are lucky enough as well to have the most gorgeous sunset! Everything made possible by Karin and Travis.

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
