How many guests can Aussie Legend carry?

Aussie Legend holds up to 250 guests cocktail-style or seats 120 for a formal dinner. At 25 metres (82ft) it is one of the largest charter catamarans on Sydney Harbour, which makes it one of the few options for a function of this size.

How much does it cost to hire Aussie Legend?

Aussie Legend is $1,100 per hour all year with a four-hour minimum, so a standard charter starts at $4,400. The skipper and crew are included in that rate. Wharf fees are $90 per visit ($180 for pick-up and drop-off). If you BYO, a $500 cleaning fee applies.

Can we BYO food and drinks on Aussie Legend?

Yes. BYO food and drinks together is $20 per person; food only or drinks only is $15 per person. A $500 cleaning fee applies to BYO charters. There is a fully functional galley onboard if you would rather have it catered.

Does Aussie Legend have a bar and a dance floor?

Yes — two separate licensed bars and a proper dance floor with a DJ booth, LED lighting, a sound system, a PA and A/V with TV screens. It is set up as an event space rather than a converted pleasure craft, which is what a 200-guest party actually needs.

What catering is available on Aussie Legend?

Canapé packages start at $49 per person for five items and $65 for seven, with VIP options at $55 for five items and $79 for eight. A soft drinks package is $15 per person. Wait staff are included when you book catering.

What events is Aussie Legend suitable for?

Aussie Legend is built for large functions — corporate events and end-of-year parties, Christmas parties, weddings and engagements, milestone birthdays, and bucks and hens parties. The spacious internal dining area and large external front deck let a big group spread out.
