Zip around Sydney Harbour on the Zodiac, a 40-foot sports cruiser that mixes fun and comfort for your crew. It fits up to 15 guests easily, with huge aft decks and bow lounges spreading out space for chats, snacks, or dances under the Opera House glow. Cruise smoothly at 25 knots to hidden coves or past the Bridge—no bumpy rides, just steady vibes keeping drinks safe and grins wide. That open layout hops you from sun decks to cozy cabin spots quickly. Love harbour spins? Check our Sydney Harbour cruises for more ways to sail.

​

Zodiac packs handy perks in every nook. Fire up the onboard BBQ (crew cooks free); chill beers in big ice coolers or zap snacks in the microwave downstairs. Bluetooth surround sound blasts your tunes deck to the cabin; oak dinette seats four for meals or cards. Full shower rinses salt after swims off the easy platform; non-slip floors grip wet feet firmly. Lower cabin stays cosy with lounge, bunks, and loo—perfect hideout from sun or splashes. Stable hull hugs wakes gently, so all ages stay happy.

​

Cruises shine day into night here. Bow couches snag killer skyline snaps; stern sprawl fits picnics or games. Guests claim faves fast—front for breeze, below for shade. Speedy laps match moods; BYO food flows simply with plates ready. From family outings to mate hangs, Zodiac blends room, gear, and glide into trips you'll replay. Dock starts skip traffic; flexible hours fit your plan. That sporty zip keeps the harbour calling back.
