Yacht Hire and Motorboat Hire on Sydney Harbour

At Ucruise Sydney we have a vast range of yachts and motorboats to hire for your Sydney Harbour cruise. From intimate family days out to school reunions, office shindigs and more, we're confident we can find the ideal vessel for your cruise experience, so just get in touch and let our team guide you through the booking process!

No Need to Push the (Motor)Boat Out!

If you're looking for a cheaper option for medium to large size group cruise, the most popular option is to hire a motorboat. These vessels often have capacities from around 40 guests up to 100 and sometimes higher. Motorboats have all the main amenities to accommodate the vast majority of events people are looking for such as corporate parties, wedding receptions, large birthday and celelbration groups and more. The best thing about many of our motorboat hire options is that they accept BYO food and drink which helps you keep the costs down. So if you're looking for an affordable boat hire option for larger groups check out our motorboats.

But You Can Always Treat Yourself...

For groups wanting to step up the luxury factor a little, then hiring a yacht is the one to go for. Typically yacht hire options won't accommodate as many guests as motorboats and will also not normally offer BYO food and drink as they have already designed a beautiful catering menu for you. They will, however, often have a variety of package options so you will still have some choices to make to customise your yachting experience. At Ucruise Sydney we have yachts for small intimate group sizes from around 6 guests up to 70. If you are looking for something higher than that but still want luxury then we have top-of-the-line Superyacht hire options available where the capacities go up to 120 guests.

Customise Your Cruise

As mentioned, both our motorboats and yachts have the flexibility to accommodate your requirements whether that's in terms of bespoke entertainment, decoration, itinerary, catering and more. Depending on the vessel, these services are either included in the fee or can be added as optional extras. Just ask our staff to recommend the best vessel for you based on what you have planned, and we'll do the rest!

Your Sydney Harbour experience awaits!

We're Sydney's number one boat hire company for customer service, price and flexibility. If you have any questions or need assistance with planning your big day out, please don't hesitate to reach out. You're just an enquiry away from making memories that will be talked about for a lifetime!

Yacht & Motorboat FAQs

What is the maximum guest capacity for yachts and motorboats available for hire with Ucruise Sydney?

Thanks to our large portfolio of vessels, we can offer a range of budget boats with varying guest capacities, accommodating groups of different sizes. The maximum guest capacity for budget boats actually runs up to 130 on Bennelong, a large function motorboat, but there are boats like Seaduced that can cater to 22, or Shadow that holds up to 90. A bit of everything really! Each boat's specifications and guest capacity are detailed on their dedicated pages to help you select the ideal budget boat for your event or celebration, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience within your budget constraints.

Can I play my own music on a yacht or motorboat during the hire?

Of course! All yachts and motorboats provided by Ucruise Sydney are equipped with AUX outlets and/or Bluetooth connectivity to allow you to play your favorite music while onboard. Some vessels also have provisions to connect a laptop to the flatscreen TVs and microphones, providing flexibility for music and entertainment options to suit your preferences and enhance the atmosphere during your cruise.

What amenities are included in the budget boat hire package with Ucruise Sydney?

Budget boat hire packages with Ucruise Sydney typically include the hire of the boat, a qualified skipper, and fuel, all priced in Australian Dollars. While food and bar services are not included in the base boat hire charge, we can offer a variety of food and beverage packages to cater to different preferences if you opt to not BYO. But just because a boat is on our "budget" list, doesn't mean it doesn't come with some great amenities! There are plenty of vessels in there with really cool touches such as water toys, inflatables, on-board BBQs, TVs, fridges and cracking sound systems.

Can we have more than one pickup and/or drop-off point for a yacht or motorboat hire?

Yes, Ucruise Sydney accommodates requests for multiple pickup and/or drop-off points during a yacht or motorboat hire. Prior arrangements for these locations can be made to ensure that the cruise experience aligns with your specific requirements and itinerary, providing convenience and flexibility for your group's transportation needs. Certain wharfs do charge a fee for docking, however, so please be sure to ask our staff about any additional costs at the time of booking.

Do yachts and motorboats go out if it’s raining?

Yes, it's standard practice for all boat hire companies operating on Sydney Harbour to go out in the rain. Ucruise Sydney's yachts and motorboats are equipped to operate in various weather conditions, offering considerable coverings for wet weather to ensure that the cruise experience remains enjoyable and comfortable for all guests. Additionally, the vessels travel in the most protected parts of the Harbour when necessary, allowing cruises to proceed with minimal disruption even in the event of inclement weather. In the rare case that Maritime orders all ships to dock, we can rearrange your cruise for another day at no extra cost.

Can we self-drive the yacht or motorboat?

No, all yachts and motorboats provided by Ucruise Sydney are fully crewed and require a professional licensed captain and crew. This ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for passengers, allowing them to relax and immerse themselves in the cruise while the crew manages the vessel's operations. While some of our sailing boats allow for a more hands-on experience, motorboats do not.

Are the yachts and motorboats child-friendly?

Yes, the yachts and motorboats in our portfolio are child-friendly, but parental supervision is recommended to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all young passengers. The vessels are designed to accommodate families and children, offering a welcoming and secure environment for a memorable cruising experience on Sydney Harbour. It's important to note, however, that for safety and legal reasons, no matter how young the child, all children count as full passengers.

Can I request dietary requirements for catering on a yacht or motorboat?

Absolutely! Ucruise Sydney's yacht and motorboat catering services accommodate dietary requirements, offering a variety of menu options tailored to suit individual needs. The experienced chefs are well-versed in addressing dietary preferences and restrictions, ensuring that all guests can enjoy a personalized and satisfying culinary experience during their cruise. Just make sure to clear up any requirements with our staff when you make your booking, and we'll take care of the rest!
