Christmas Party Water Taxi & Harbour Cruises
Make your Christmas party part of the journey with private water taxi transfers and Sydney Harbour cruises for corporate groups, staff celebrations, client events and end-of-year functions.
Start the Christmas party before you reach the venue
A private water taxi gives your staff, clients or friends a memorable way to travel to a Christmas party, restaurant, function venue or end-of-year celebration.
Book a direct transfer or add extra cruise time and turn the journey into part of the event itself.
- Corporate Christmas party transfers
- Private Sydney Harbour cruises
- Restaurant and venue transport
- Small groups and larger multi-vessel bookings
- BYO drinks permitted
- One-way and return transfers
Keep the whole group together
Christmas functions often involve larger groups, restaurant bookings and strict arrival times. Water taxi transfers can be coordinated around your event schedule so your guests arrive together rather than travelling separately.
For larger groups, multiple vessels can be scheduled with staggered departure times or coordinated arrivals at the venue.

Other Harbour Venues
Choose from available Sydney Harbour pickup and drop-off locations to suit your event.
Turn the transfer into part of the Christmas party
Instead of travelling directly from pickup to destination, you can add extra Sydney Harbour cruise time to an eligible booking.
This gives your group time to enjoy the harbour, music and drinks before arriving at the restaurant, venue or function.

Christmas Party & December Bookings
December is one of the busiest periods of the year on Sydney Harbour. Bookings may require vessels and crew to be secured well in advance, particularly for larger groups.
For December and other designated special-event bookings, applicable cancellation conditions are stricter than standard water taxi transfers. Please review the booking terms supplied with your confirmation before finalising your event.
For larger bookings requiring multiple vessels, your booking is secured based on the confirmed passenger numbers because additional vessels may need to be committed specifically to your job.
Christmas party water taxi bookings
Can we book a water taxi for our office Christmas party?
Yes. Private water taxi transfers can be arranged for staff, clients and organised Christmas party groups travelling to waterfront restaurants and venues around Sydney Harbour.
Can we add a harbour cruise before our Christmas party?
Yes. Additional cruise time can be added to eligible transfers so your group can spend longer on Sydney Harbour before arriving at the venue.
Can we bring drinks aboard?
Yes. BYO drinks are generally permitted aboard private transfers. Guests must drink responsibly and follow all skipper and crew instructions.
Can you transport a large Christmas party group?
Yes. Larger groups can be accommodated using multiple water taxis where required and subject to vessel availability.
Can we travel to a restaurant by water taxi?
Yes. Many Sydney Harbour restaurants and event venues are located close to suitable wharves or pontoons. Your booking confirmation will identify the appropriate pickup and drop-off location.
Can we arrange a return after the Christmas party?
Yes. Return transfers can be arranged subject to vessel availability and the requested collection time.
Do you offer corporate Christmas party transfers?
Yes. We regularly arrange private water taxi transport for corporate groups, staff events, clients and larger organised functions.
Can several water taxis arrive together?
Yes. Multi-vessel transfers can be coordinated around your event schedule for larger groups, subject to harbour conditions and availability.
When should we book our December Christmas party transfer?
As early as possible. December is extremely busy, particularly Thursday and Friday afternoons and evenings, and larger group bookings can require multiple vessels.
How do we get a price?
Use the online booking system for standard transfers and cruise options, or email us directly for larger groups, multiple vessels or more complex Christmas party transport requirements.
