Corporate Yacht Charter On Sydney Harbour.
The whole vessel privately for your team or your clients, on a weekday if you want one, billed by the hour on a proper tax invoice with the coach transfer on the same line.
Good Vibes Only
Work functions we run on the water
How a corporate charter actually works.
Every vessel price on this page is per hour for the whole boat, not per head. Read this once and the four cards below make sense.
The Brief And The Proposal
Send the headcount, the date, the hours and what the day has to achieve. You get back the vessels that genuinely fit, what each costs per hour and the catering options, written up so it can go straight in front of a budget holder.
Pre-Boarding And Set Up
On the vessels that list pre-access you board before your people do. That is when the catering is laid out, the name badges go on the table and any screen or PA is set and tested, so nobody is chasing a cable in front of a client.
The Working Half, Then The Rest
Most corporate charters front-load the formal part: the briefing, the awards, the client presentation, done early while everyone is fresh. Then the boat runs the landmarks and the day turns into lunch and conversation.
Alongside, And The Invoice
You come alongside at the time on the runsheet, because a work function has an afternoon to get back to. Afterwards there is one tax invoice covering the charter, the catering and the coach transfer, with your PO number on it.
You charter the whole vessel, by the hour. The rate on each card below buys that boat, its skipper and its crew for one hour. Your company has the vessel to itself. There is no shared cruise, no seat allocation and nobody else's function on the other deck, which matters considerably more when clients are aboard than it does on any other kind of booking.
Weekdays are the quiet end of this fleet. Saturdays between October and March go first across every vessel, so a midweek corporate charter is both easier to secure and easier to plan around. A Tuesday lunch on the water is genuinely available at short notice in a way a Saturday is not.
Minimum charter length varies by vessel and by date. Most corporate bookings sit between three and four hours, which is long enough for the formal part, the landmarks and a proper lunch without eating the whole working day. Every from-price on this page is a starting point and the exact figure is confirmed on your proposal.
We can get everyone to the wharf too. Urban Legends owns its coaches, so the same booking and the same invoice can include a private coach from the office, the conference venue or the hotel to the boarding point and back again. See corporate bus hire Sydney.
What the hourly rate includes.
True for every vessel on this page
- The whole vessel, privately, for your company only.
- The skipper, and the crew that vessel runs with.
- That boat's own features, listed on its card below.
- Sydney Harbour itself, and a route planned around your runsheet.
Added on request.
Quoted with your charter, never assumed
- Catering and drinks packages, seated or grazing, with dietary requirements taken at booking.
- Pre-boarding and loading for catering, signage, name badges and presentation gear.
- A screen, a PA or presentation gear, brought aboard and set up before your people arrive.
- Coach transfer to and from the wharf, on our own fleet, on the same invoice.
Every vessel from-price on this page is per hour for the whole boat, not per head. We do not publish a per-guest figure for the vessels because it depends entirely on your group size and how many hours you book, and quoting one would mean inventing a number we have not agreed to honour. The one genuine exception is the Team Building Regatta further down, which is priced per person and says so on its own band. Minimum charter length varies by vessel and by date. Your exact figure, including your hours and any catering, is confirmed on your proposal. Charters are subject to availability.
How many people are on the list?
Headcount decides the vessel before anything else does. Find your number, then read that boat's card below.
MV Highlander, The Client Day
A 46ft luxury yacht with a large comfortable saloon, a spacious cockpit and a huge forward sundeck. The one for a leadership group, a board lunch or six clients you actually want to talk to.
Bluetooth surround sound, pre-access loading, and a craft beer tasting on board if the day calls for one.
See MV Highlander, from $475 / hr →The Catamaran, The Whole Team
Published for 43 guests plus 2 crew, which makes it the answer for a department or a whole small company. Two toilets, a large undercover entertaining area and forward nets.
The widest, steadiest deck on this page, which matters when people are eating at a table rather than standing at a bar.
See the catamaran, from $600 / hr →Ghost 2, The Client Event
Published for 110 guests, which makes it the only vessel on this page built for a full client event or a whole-company function. A jacuzzi, a full bar and panoramic views from every deck.
The one that gets asked for by name when the invitation list crosses a hundred and the event has to land.
See Ghost 2, from $3,000 / hr →If the day has a working half and a hospitality half, the answer is a format rather than a headcount. That is Major Tom, from $650 per hour, with three separate entertainment zones so a briefing can finish in one space while lunch is being laid out in another. If your group falls outside these bands entirely, or you want a sailing yacht or a craft beer cruise instead, the full nine-vessel fleet and the whole group-size picker live on the Sydney Harbour yacht charter hub.
The four vessels we put work functions on.
Not the whole fleet, just the four that genuinely suit a corporate day: one for a client group, one for a whole team, one that can run a briefing and a lunch in separate spaces, and one built for a full client event. Every card carries that boat's own features and its own from-price, per hour, for the whole vessel.
MV Highlander
46ft luxury yacht The work function it suits: a client group, a leadership day or a board lunch. Small enough that one conversation can hold the whole boat, which is the entire point when the guests are people you are trying to win rather than a department you already employ.- Large, comfortable saloon
- Spacious cockpit for entertaining
- Huge forward sundeck with lounge
- Bluetooth surround sound
- Entertainment options and pre-access loading
- Craft beer tasting on board, on request
The Catamaran
The Sunset Soiree · 43 guests plus 2 crew The work function it suits: a whole department or a small company, seated. Two hulls means a flat, stable platform, which is what you want when people are eating at a table and somebody has to stand up and say something.- Published for 43 guests plus 2 crew
- Skipper and deckhand included
- Two toilets on board
- Large undercover entertaining area and forward nets
- Kitchen, large BBQ and two large eskies
- Fusion sound system, Bluetooth and USB capable
- Swim ladders, water access and the Lilypad
Major Tom
46ft · three entertainment zones The work function it suits: the one with a job to do. A briefing, an award or a client presentation can happen in the saloon while lunch is being laid out somewhere else on the boat, which no single-space vessel can do.- Three entertainment zones including sun deck and saloon
- Separate spaces for a working half and a hospitality half
- Gourmet BBQ on board
- Custom catering and drinks packages
- Lilypad on the water
Ghost 2
Superyacht · 110 guests The work function it suits: the client event that has to land. A full launch, an awards night or a whole-company function where the venue itself is doing part of the persuading, and where a hundred and something people all need to fit.- Published for 110 guests
- Full bar
- Jacuzzi on board
- Panoramic harbour views from every deck
- Gourmet catering and drinks packages built bespoke
- Skipper and crew included
These four are the corporate shortlist, not the whole fleet. The Team Building Regatta below is a fifth option and works differently, because it is a fleet of yachts priced per person rather than one vessel priced per hour. If you want a sailing yacht, a party boat with a dance floor and a jumping platform, or a superyacht on a set four-hour cruise instead, all nine vessels and the full group-size picker are on the Sydney Harbour yacht charter hub.
What a corporate booking includes.
The part nobody puts on a yacht page and every person booking one on behalf of a company has to go and ask for. Here it is up front.
The commercial side
What finance will ask you for
- A proper tax invoice from Urban Legends Tour Co, ABN 24 609 012 964, with GST shown separately.
- Your PO number on the invoice, and on the proposal beforehand, if that is how your purchasing works.
- One invoice for the whole day, covering the charter, the catering and the coach transfer rather than three separate suppliers.
- Payment terms agreed in writing before the date, including a deposit to hold the vessel and the balance timing.
- A certificate of currency on request, for your own risk or venue paperwork.
The event side
Quoted with your charter, never assumed
- Catering built for a work function, seated or grazing, with dietary requirements taken at booking rather than on the wharf.
- Drinks packages, or the full bar on Ghost 2, with a non-alcoholic option that is not an afterthought.
- A screen, a PA or presentation gear, brought aboard and tested during pre-boarding.
- Headcount movement. Final numbers are confirmed close to the date, because corporate numbers always move.
- The coach to the wharf and back, on our own fleet, on the same invoice.
Pre-boarding and loading is available on the vessels that list it, and we confirm it for your boat and your date on your proposal. Catering, drinks and presentation gear are quoted with the charter rather than assumed, because availability varies by vessel: each one carries its own equipment. Payment terms, the deposit and the balance date are set out in writing on your proposal before anything is committed, and a certificate of currency is available on request.
Team building on Sydney Harbour: the regatta.
Your team is split across several yachts and raced to a finish line. Every yacht has an experienced skipper aboard, so nobody needs to have sailed before. The crew work the boat themselves, which is the whole idea: a yacht will not move properly unless people talk to each other, and it tells you within about four minutes who on your team actually does.
- FormatCustom race formats and challenges built around what the day is meant to achieve, rather than one fixed course everybody gets.
- SkippersAn experienced skipper guiding every yacht, and a safety briefing before anyone leaves the dock. No sailing experience needed anywhere in the group.
- Who it suitsA corporate team building day, a conference breakout, a new team that has been remote for two years, or a sales group that responds to being scored.
- The unitFrom $200 per person. This is the one product on this page priced per person rather than per hour for a vessel, because you are booking places in a fleet rather than one boat.
- Group sizeMinimum group sizes apply, because a regatta needs enough people to crew more than one yacht. We confirm the number with your proposal.
- Or, insteadIf competition is the wrong note entirely, the same team fits on the catamaran for a straightforward day out, or on Major Tom if there is a working session to get through first.
Looking at the land-based version instead? Our Sydney team building activities guide runs through the alternatives, and the coaches that get a group between them are on corporate bus hire.
Get A ProposalCorporate yacht events on Sydney Harbour.
Corporate yacht events, corporate boat hire and a corporate yacht charter are the same booking. Whichever way you searched for it, you are doing one thing: taking a whole vessel privately, by the hour, with the skipper and the crew already aboard, and putting your people on it.
There is no version of this where somebody is handed the keys. Every vessel here comes with its skipper, so nobody from your company is responsible for the boat, which is usually the first question a risk team asks and the last one anybody thinks to answer.
The four events this fleet actually gets booked for
Client entertainment. A small group, a good lunch and three hours where a client is not looking at their phone. MV Highlander from $475 per hour is the usual answer, because the boat is small enough that one conversation holds the whole deck.
Team building and staff days. Either the regatta, where the team is split across yachts and raced, or the catamaran if the day is meant to be a reward rather than a challenge.
Conference days out. The half-day that gets bolted onto a two-day conference, usually the afternoon of day one. Major Tom takes this one, because a session can finish in the saloon while lunch is laid out elsewhere on the boat.
Launches and client events. Ghost 2, published for 110 guests, for the ones where the venue is doing part of the persuading and the whole invitation list has to fit on one deck.
The one distinction that does matter
Private versus shared. Everything on this page is private. Your company has the vessel to itself, there is no seat allocation, and there is nobody else's function on the other deck. When you are hosting clients that is not a nice-to-have, and it is the reason the price is quoted for the vessel rather than per person.
See The Four Vessels
The bits that make it a work function.
These sit outside the vessel cards on purpose, so the four stay readable and the add-ons still get their own moment.
Pre-Boarding And Loading
Board before your people do and set the vessel up properly: catering laid out, name badges on the table, signage placed, presentation gear tested. Available on the vessels that list pre-access.
Screen, PA And Presentation Gear
A screen for a deck, a PA so a speech carries over engine noise and wind, and a microphone that works. Brought aboard and tested during pre-boarding rather than discovered on the day.
Catering For A Work Function
Seated lunch or grazing, built around the format rather than a fixed menu, with dietary requirements collected at booking. Platters through to the gourmet end on Ghost 2, built bespoke.
Drinks Packages
From a straightforward beer and wine package through to the full bar on Ghost 2, with a non-alcoholic option that is not an afterthought. Several vessels carry a fridge, a freezer and eskies already.
The Team Building Regatta
The team split across a fleet of yachts and raced, with an experienced skipper on every boat and a safety briefing first. The one product here priced per person rather than per hour.
Craft Beer Tasting And The BBQ
MV Highlander runs a craft beer tasting on the water. The catamaran carries a large BBQ with a kitchen and two large eskies behind it, and Major Tom carries a gourmet BBQ.
The Team Photo
Every corporate charter ends up wanting one, usually with the Bridge behind it, and usually organised badly at the last minute. Say so at booking and the skipper positions the boat for it.
Coach To The Wharf
Our own 14 to 41-seat coaches, from the office, the conference venue or the hotel to the boarding point and back again. One booking, one runsheet, one invoice.
Add-ons are quoted with your charter and confirmed on your proposal, never assumed. Availability varies by vessel, because each one carries its own equipment. Every vessel from-price on this page is per hour for the whole boat; the Team Building Regatta is the single exception and is priced per person. Everything above appears as a line on the same tax invoice as the charter.

"I am a wedding planner and booked Urban for guest transfer. Jared was amazing to deal with, answering every question and creating a detailed runsheet. On the day the driver was excellent, turned up early and helped guests on and off the bus. Cannot recommend enough."
"Very professional, quick and easy to work with. Would highly recommend this company and would rebook in a second if needed for a future event. Thank you."
"Absolutely no regrets choosing Urban Legends. Jared is such a great and easygoing guy, and he was so flexible to work with on the day when some timings and pickups needed changing at the last minute. Thank you so much for a great experience."
"Easy to deal with, on time, and amazing service. Working with Urban Legends Tour Co was a breeze, love your work."
"Easy communication, excellent service. Would book again."
"Celebrated my 60th birthday on the tour and it was the best day. Everything is taken care of, all you do is enjoy the day. Bus driver Sam was amazing, very helpful and friendly and made the day even better. Highly recommend for a stress free, fun day."
Every review above is a verified Google review of Urban Legends Tour Co, quoted in full, across our charters and events. None of the six is a corporate yacht charter specifically, so we have not labelled any of them as one. Wedding Grounds leads because it is the one booking in the set that a business made on behalf of a client, with a runsheet and a delivery standard attached, which is the closest thing we have to on-topic proof. The rating shown, 4.8 out of 5 from 221 reviews, is our current Google rating for the business as a whole.
We own the coaches as well.
The boat leaves at a fixed time and your people are still in a meeting. That gap is where corporate charters go wrong, and it is the part almost no charter operator can help with, because they do not own anything with wheels. A vessel does not wait, and forty people finding their own way to a wharf at 11:45 on a Wednesday is the single most reliable way to lose the first half hour you paid for.
Urban Legends owns a modern fleet of 14 to 41-seat coaches, so the same booking can collect your group from the office, the conference venue or the hotel, deliver everyone to the boarding point together and take them back afterwards. One enquiry, one runsheet, one supplier and one tax invoice covering the water half and the land half.
It matters most on a conference day out, where a session finishes at a scheduled time and the boat has to leave at another one. See corporate bus hire Sydney for the corporate fleet and the conference shuttle work, or Sydney bus charters for the whole coach range.
The rest of the day.
This page covers the work function. The hub covers the fleet, and the coaches cover everything that happens on land.
Sydney Harbour Yacht Charter
All nine vessels, the full group-size picker and every other occasion, from sailing yachts and craft beer cruises to party boats. Start here if your group does not fit the four vessels above.
See the whole fleet →Corporate Bus Hire Sydney
