Vivid gathers up to 30 guests across her two spacious levels, cruising Sydney Harbour with steady comfort past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The main deck lounge area seats groups easily for chats or meals, while the upper open deck catches fresh breezes and wide skyline views. Gas BBQ grills fresh seafood or burgers right onboard, and large eskies keep cold drinks flowing all day long.

Three toilets make quick stops simple for everyone, and undercover spots on both levels handle sun or light showers without fuss. Bluetooth speakers connect to phones for music that fills decks top to bottom, plus a microphone works great for toasts or announcements. Rear swim ladder drops into the water for easy harbour dips when the mood strikes.

This 70-foot classic suits family outings, parties, or casual sails, with crew handling navigation to quiet coves away from crowds. Pair Vivid with options from our Sydney Harbour cruises page for trips that match any group. Her art deco styling adds fun charm to every adventure.

Indulge in exquisite catering options, from fresh seafood platters to a classic Aussie BBQ, all served by a dedicated family-run crew. A favorite among celebrities, Enigma offers an unforgettable harbour escape for up to 12 guests.
