How Barefoot Spirit compares to other Sydney catamarans

Barefoot Spirit is at the upper end of our function-catamaran range — bigger and more event-equipped than Magic or Aussie Magic, with the only waterslide in the fleet. For a fleet view see catamaran hire Sydney; for parties see party boat Sydney; for big celebrations see wedding boat hire or corporate boat hire.

How to book Barefoot Spirit
