Kondor

 

Ready to hit Sydney Harbour on the Kondor? This 53-foot catamaran welcomes up to 47 guests with twin hulls that glide steadily, cutting waves smoothly so everyone stays comfy on the water. Wide decks spread out across two levels, giving space to chat up top or chill below without feeling packed. The huge front deck catches killer views of the Opera House and bridge, perfect for snapping pics or just soaking in the breeze. Benches line up easily for snacks, and fridges keep drinks cold. Bring your own or stock up for a full day out. That stable ride means less rocking, more relaxing as you cruise from coves to city spots.

​

What stands out on the Kondor are the spots built for good times. Fire up the rear BBQ for fresh grilled bites, with the galley nearby sorting plates and prep. Hook your phone to the Bluetooth stereo or surround sound for tunes that fill the air, from chill vibes to dance beats bouncing off the water. Indoor lounge and fully air-conditioned wheelhouse offer cool breaks from the sun, plus undercover areas handle any weather pops. Two toilets keep things practical for groups, and lifejackets sit ready for peace of mind. The open floor plan flexes for whatever—parties, swims off the ladder, or lazy loops around the harbor. For more ways to explore on fancier rides, check our yacht hire Sydney page.

​

Kondor mixes fun and ease in one package, letting crews, big or small, own the day. Drop anchor for dips in calm bays, or power past icons for that wow factor. Full bar setup with benches fits coolers and cups, turning BYO into a breeze. Stylish lounges inside spark chats, while outdoor decks host games or group hangs. Crew handles the wheel, leaving you free to enjoy the ride. Whether families pile on or mates take over, this boat's versatile layout and solid build deliver harbor days that stick around in stories long after docking.
