Whitehaven is a 55-foot beach-club inspired catamaran on Sydney Harbour, built for the kind of charters where the dance floor matters as much as the view. She carries up to 70 guests across two decks — a large internal cabin with a dance floor and lounge seating, an open upper level, and easy water access via the swim ladder. The 4-zone Bluetooth sound system handles a real party; the onboard BBQ and full galley keep groups fed. BYO welcome. Premium catering packages available on request. From $650 per hour with a 3-hour minimum.
