Rum Runner cruises Sydney Harbour as a massive 47-foot catamaran that fits up to 47 guests across two big decks, giving everyone room to spread out, chat, and enjoy the ride. The huge foredeck opens wide for standing, lounging, or group hangs, while the rooftop deck adds comfy lounge spots with killer views all around. People move easily between the shaded cabin inside and the fresh outdoor air, catching sights of the Opera House and bridge from every angle. This multi-level setup keeps things comfy and fun, whether you want sun or shelter; no one feels stuck or crowded on the water.​

Smart features make Rum Runner a standout, like the onboard speakers that play your music across decks, cabin, and roof for vibes that match the harbor mood. Fire up the BBQ in the cabin for fresh grilled eats, and use the five eskies to keep drinks cold and close by. Clear plastic enclosures on the rooftop block spray but let panoramas pour in, perfect for snaps that capture the trip. A swim ladder drops right into the harbor for quick dips, and the twin-hull design glides steadily over waves, so even first-timers relax without worry. Two toilets inside and out add convenience for longer days.

Rum Runner suits all sorts of outings with water toys like the ocean pool and lily pad for play between sails, plus space for BYO food and drinks that fit any plan. The stable ride hugs the water flat, making cruises past icons smooth and scenic from foredeck to rooftop. Big groups love the indoor-outdoor flow and weather cover for year-round fun. Fans of these boats should check our catamaran hire Sydney page for more picks. From casual floats to lively days, Rum Runner brings space, steadiness, and sea spark to every adventure.
