Cruise and Vessel Positioning
The Captain will head directly to the exclusive designated Commercial Vessels anchoring area in order to secure a spot on the boundary to ensure we have the best views possible of the magnificent world famous Sydney Harbour NYE Fireworks.
Please note that we generally do not move from our anchoring position on NYE as its often difficult to re-secure a good position with open views due to the sheer number of vessels that are about NYE.
Relax, Eat and Enjoy the Buzzing Atmosphere
Once the boat is anchored, it is a perfect time to enjoy a leisurely meal. You can sit back and enjoy your New Years Eve boat charter savour the splendid views and good company whilst the Dreamtime Girl crew set our your food, plates and cutlery, cook the BBQ and clean it all up for you.
It’s a great time to soak up the atmosphere that only a private NYE Fireworks Charter can deliver. Enjoy the company of family and friends while relaxing on our spacious cushioned areas at the bow of the Dreamtime Girl Catamaran.
After dinner is also a great time to check camera equipment to ensure that it is fully charged for the 12 midnight fireworks. The fireworks display lasts for approximately 17 minutes.
9.00pm Sydney NYE Fireworks

"Thank you for the wonderful hospitality of all the crew on board. It was amazing to experience Sydney NYE on the water. I felt like the sky and harbour became an dance of moving colour - I was spellbound. We will be talking of this for years to come."
