Captain your own day on Sydney Harbour aboard Revelation — a 38-foot luxury power cruiser for those who'd rather steer their own course. From $1,200 per boat, up to 12 guests, never shared.
Hold an Australian boat licence? Then the day is yours to write. Drop anchor in a hidden bay for a swim, cruise beneath the Harbour Bridge, raft up for a floating lunch, or push beyond the heads to the open coast. Revelation gives you the run of Sydney's most beautiful waterways — in a level of comfort most self-drive boats can't touch.
Self-drive boat hire in Sydney is priced per boat, not per person, so 12 guests costs the same as two. Not sure where to point the bow? See where you can go on Sydney Harbour, or compare skippered charter boat hire in Sydney if nobody aboard holds a licence.

Below deck, two queen size cabins, a full kitchen and a proper bathroom turns an ordinary day out on the water into a memorable getaway — and an overnight stay into something truly special.

Sheltered, crystal bays for anchoring, swimming and lazy afternoons on the floating lilypad.
Get the views the postcards can't — right from the water, at your own pace.
