Overview

Every year since Sydney Harbours’ fireworks display became world famous welcoming the millennium, the display has got bigger & better! On land nearly 1½ million people jam into Sydney’s foreshore reserves and public places to view the fireworks and the demand for places aboard Sydney charter boats FAR exceeds the available supply so people are booking earlier & earlier to avoid disappointment.
Aboard our yacht Sydney Sundancer on New Years Eve, you will join a select group and enjoy a party atmosphere second to none ! Our NYE cruise is quite different to that offered by most other charter boats because it can be likened to enjoying a private party in someone’s home.
You will be served the finest food afloat combined with Bollinger Champagne, top quality wines together premium beers and soft drinks all night not just at midnight.
Please read the reviews posted on our Cool Shore Excursions Sydney Sundancer site by previous guests to appreciate the quality of our whole evening !
