Revelation comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests for both charter and self-drive hire. The boat is never shared — every booking is fully private.

Charter bookings depart from King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour. Self-drive bookings depart from Pirrama Park Wharf, Pyrmont. We can discuss alternative pick-up points on request.
