Sydney Brunch & Lunch Cruise
A private 2-hour catered charter on Sydney Harbour — brunch at 10:00 AM or lunch at 12:30 PM. The vessel is yours; the kitchen comes onboard.

About This Experience
The harbour is best on either side of the heat of the day. The Catered Charter is built for those two windows. A 10:00 AM departure when the water is glass and the city is still waking. A 12:30 PM departure when the light has softened and the afternoon's about to settle in. Same vessel, same skipper, same two unhurried hours — different meal, different mood. Brunch or lunch is set out as you step aboard. The catering is considered. The skipper holds the pace so the meal isn't rushed. By the time you step back ashore, you've had the kind of two hours most restaurants can't deliver, with the harbour as the dining room. Brunch is a board, not a plate. Tasmanian smoked salmon and bagels at the centre, the spreads and a salad around them. Cold-pressed juice in the morning glass; a sweet to finish. Two hours of grazing on open water — the meal stretches, the harbour does the rest. Lunch is a longer board. Sliced pastrami at the centre, a warm frittata and sourdough beside it, dips and pickles spread around. Cold-pressed juice in the midday glass; a slice of something rich to finish. Two hours with a second course — the afternoon settles, the harbour holds steady.
Highlights
- A private 2-hour catered charter on Sydney Harbour
- Choice of 10:00 AM brunch or 12:30 PM lunch
- A considered menu served onboard, paired with premium beverages
- Up to four guests; the vessel is yours alone
- Pickup from Rose Bay (included), or closer to home for a small fee
- Dietary requirements accommodated with notice
What to Expect
You arrive at Rose Bay Marina ten minutes before your departure. The catering is being plated as you step aboard. The yacht is already yours.
The skipper pushes off into open water. The first course comes out as the city passes on the bow. The pace is held; the meal isn't rushed. The harbour does the work the restaurant's dining room would otherwise do.
Two hours later, the yacht returns to Rose Bay — quietly, exactly when you're ready.

Why This Experience Stands Out
- The harbour as the dining room. Not a cruise with food added — a meal designed around the water.
- Transparent pricing. $750 base + per-guest catering. No hidden fees.
- Two unhurried hours. Long enough to enjoy the meal; short enough to leave the day open.
- Considered, not catered-feeling. A short, sharp menu — done well, not done large.
- Brunch or lunch, your call. Same vessel, different light.
