How the day runs

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

Step 3, the harbour hours. The landmarks do the work a function room never does, which is most of the reason a client says yes to this instead of a boardroom.

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.

Start with your headcount

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.

A smaller team Or a client group

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 →
Up to 43 Guests, plus 2 crew

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 →
Up to 110 Guests

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.

Four vessels, one ladder

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.

The Client Day Around ten colleagues in business shirts seated on the curved forward sundeck lounge of a white motor yacht on Sydney Harbour, one standing at the rail, with a green harbour headland behind

MV Highlander

46ft luxury yacht

A large comfortable saloon, a spacious cockpit for entertaining and a huge forward sundeck with a lounge on it. The hub calls this one the casual corporate day, and that is exactly what it is.

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

The Catamaran

The Sunset Soiree · 43 guests plus 2 crew

The widest, steadiest deck on this page. Published for 43 guests plus 2 crew, with a skipper and a deckhand, two toilets, and huge indoor and outdoor space.

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.

Major Tom

46ft · three entertainment zones

The private dining boat, and the only one in the fleet with three separate entertainment zones including a sun deck and a saloon. The hub's own description says a corporate lunch and a party can run on the same charter without fighting for space.

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

Superyacht · 110 guests

The Harbour-side Banquet. A superyacht published for 110 guests, with a jacuzzi, a full bar and panoramic views from every deck.

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

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.

Invoicing, numbers and the paperwork

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.

Boarding on a weekday, at the time on the runsheet. A vessel does not wait, which is why the coach and the charter go on one booking.

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.

The one that is not a cruise

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.

Events, functions, charters

Corporate 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.

These sit outside the vessel cards on purpose, so the four stay readable and the add-ons still get their own moment.

Rosa GomezGoogle review, June 2026

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.

Getting everyone to the wharf

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.

Before you book

Corporate charter questions.

The four vessels we put work functions on start at $475 per hour for the whole of MV Highlander, then $600 per hour for the catamaran published at 43 guests plus 2 crew, $650 per hour for Major Tom, and $3,000 per hour for Ghost 2, which is published for 110 guests. Every one of those is a starting point for the whole vessel, not a per-head price. What the day actually costs depends on how many hours you book, your date and whether you add catering, drinks or presentation gear, and it is confirmed on your proposal. The one product here priced per person is the Team Building Regatta, from $200 per person.
Yes. You get a proper tax invoice from Urban Legends Tour Co, ABN 24 609 012 964, with GST shown separately, and your PO number carried on both the proposal and the invoice if that is how your purchasing works. It is one invoice for the whole day, so the charter, the catering and the coach transfer sit on a single document rather than arriving from three suppliers. Payment terms, the deposit that holds the vessel and the date the balance falls due are all set out in writing on your proposal before anything is committed, so nothing about the commercial side is a surprise to your finance team.
Yes, and a certificate of currency is available on request for your own risk register or venue paperwork. Ask for it when you enquire rather than the week before, because it is the item that most often holds a corporate booking up at the final approval stage. Each vessel also carries its own commercial survey and its own operating certification, and the skipper is responsible for the boat throughout, not anyone from your company.
Yes, and the vessel choice matters more here than anywhere else on this page. Major Tom has three separate entertainment zones including a sun deck and a saloon, so a briefing, an award or a client presentation can finish in one space while lunch is being laid out in another. A screen, a PA or presentation gear is brought aboard and quoted with your charter rather than assumed to be installed, and it is set up and tested during pre-boarding so nobody is chasing a cable in front of a client. Tell us the format when you enquire, because a briefing that needs a screen and a lunch that needs a table are different requirements and only some vessels do both well.
At around 40 the answer is the catamaran, published for 43 guests plus 2 crew, from $600 per hour. Two hulls give you the widest and steadiest deck on this page, which matters when people are eating at a table and somebody has to stand up and speak. It carries a skipper and a deckhand, two toilets, a large undercover entertaining area, a kitchen with a large BBQ, and forward nets. If your number is likely to grow past 43 between now and the date, and corporate numbers usually do, look at Ghost 2 instead, which is published for 110.
Across the four vessels on this page: the catamaran is published for 43 guests plus 2 crew and Ghost 2 is published for 110 guests. MV Highlander is a 46ft luxury yacht and Major Tom is 46ft with three entertainment zones, and both publish a size rather than a certified capacity, so we confirm the exact number for your date on your proposal rather than printing a figure that might be wrong for your booking. Use the headcount router further up this page to find your band. If your group falls outside it entirely, the full nine-vessel fleet is on the hub.
Your team is split across a fleet of yachts and raced to a finish line on Sydney Harbour, with an experienced skipper guiding every yacht and a safety briefing before anyone leaves the dock. No sailing experience is needed anywhere in the group. Race formats and challenges are built around what the day is meant to achieve. It is from $200 per person, which makes it 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 chartering one boat. Minimum group sizes apply, since a regatta needs enough people to crew more than one yacht, and we confirm the number on your proposal.
Yes, and it is the best reason to run a work function on the water rather than a Saturday one. Saturdays between October and March go first across this whole fleet, so weekday availability is genuinely better, easier to hold and easier to plan a runsheet around. A Tuesday or a Wednesday charter is often available at much shorter notice than a weekend date. Midweek also suits the format: most corporate bookings run three to four hours over the middle of the day, which leaves an afternoon to go back to.
It depends on whether people need to be seated. A seated lunch works on the catamaran and on Major Tom, where there is a table and a defined space, and it is the right call if there are speeches. Grazing and platters work better where you want people moving and talking, which is most client entertainment. Ghost 2 runs the gourmet end of it with a full bar, built bespoke. Dietary requirements are collected at booking rather than discovered on the wharf, and a non-alcoholic option is included in every drinks package as standard rather than as an afterthought. Catering is quoted with the charter and appears as a line on the same tax invoice.
Most corporate bookings sit between three and four hours. That is long enough to board, get the formal part done, run the landmarks and have a proper lunch, without writing off the whole working day. Four hours is the usual answer for a client event with a presentation in it; three is enough for a straightforward team lunch. Minimum charter length varies by vessel and by date, so we confirm the minimum for your boat on your proposal rather than publishing one number that would be wrong for most of them. The rate is per hour for the whole vessel either way.
Yes, and this is the part almost no charter operator can help with, because they do not own anything with wheels. 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. It goes on the same runsheet and the same tax invoice. It matters most on a conference day out, where a session ends at a scheduled time and the vessel leaves at another one, and a boat does not wait. See corporate bus hire Sydney.
Nothing, they are the same booking described from different ends. Corporate yacht events, corporate boat hire and corporate yacht charter all mean taking a whole vessel privately, by the hour, with the skipper and crew already aboard. Nobody is handed the keys. The distinction that does matter is private versus shared: everything on this page is private, so 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.
Yes to the first and no to the second. Every charter on this page is run by a professional skipper, and the crew that vessel operates with is part of the hourly rate. The catamaran carries a skipper plus a deckhand. Nobody from your organisation is driving the vessel or responsible for it at any point, which is usually the first question a risk team asks. The exact crew for your boat is confirmed on your proposal, and on the Team Building Regatta there is an experienced skipper aboard every yacht in the fleet.
Sydney Harbour charters run in most conditions and these vessels are built for it: a large comfortable saloon on MV Highlander, three zones including a saloon on Major Tom, a big undercover entertaining area on the catamaran, and plenty of covered space on Ghost 2. A shower does not end a work function, and the presentation happens inside instead. If conditions make a charter genuinely unsafe, that call sits with the skipper, and we work through the options with you and the vessel. The exact weather and cancellation terms for your boat are set out in writing on your proposal, which is worth reading properly when a client event depends on the date.
Three to six weeks is comfortable for a midweek corporate charter, which is one of the real advantages of running one on a weekday. Push it to two or three months if your date is a Saturday between October and March, or anywhere in December, because the whole fleet is competing with the Christmas party season by then. Ghost 2 books furthest out because there is only one of it, so a client event for a hundred people deserves the longest lead time of anything here. If your date is close, ask anyway: charters are subject to availability and midweek slots do come free.
