About This Experience

Vivid Sydney transforms the harbour into a moving canvas of light, colour and projection. We make sure you experience it the way it deserves to be seen — from the water, away from the crowds, aboard your own private yacht. Four guests. One skipper. The harbour, yours.

Highlights

  • Private yacht charter — your group only
  • Front-row harbour views of Vivid Sydney
  • Opera House & Harbour Bridge illuminated after dark
  • Quiet harbour positioning away from public crowds
  • Experienced private skipper
  • Three departure locations across Sydney Harbour

What to Expect

You arrive at the harbour as the city begins to glow. The yacht is yours exclusively for the evening.

Within minutes, you’re cruising past Sydney’s illuminated skyline — the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Vivid installations reflecting across the water. Your skipper knows where to slow down, where to linger, and where the harbour feels quietest.

No crowded ferries. No packed foreshore. Just an unhurried evening on Sydney Harbour, experienced properly.

Why This Experience Stands Out

  • Truly private. Up to four guests. Never shared.
  • Front-row positioning. Experience Vivid from angles the foreshore can’t reach.
  • One flat price. From $400 total per charter — not per person.
  • Flexible departure points. Choose the harbour location that suits your night.

Vivid only happens once a year.

The harbour only fits so many private charters.

Catch a Wavii before the season fills up.
