Ginger

Vivid, the catamaran that turns Sydney Harbour outings into your own light show on water. With a super-wide beam, it stays steady as you cruise past glowing landmarks, letting everyone lean out for those perfect snaps without a single sway. Up top on the flybridge, a full bar keeps drinks flowing, seats fit 6 to 10 comfy, and a BBQ grills up bites while the city sparkles below. Four large dining areas spread your group just right, some chatting, others dancing, making every trip feel roomy and fun.

Vivid packs in spots that make days or nights pop with ease. The open kitchen lets you cook or serve quickly, staying part of the action no matter what. Air conditioning cools hot afternoons, shade sails block glare, and Starlink WiFi shares photos or tunes live with friends back home. That smooth catamaran glide hugs the harbor edges close, spotting dolphins or icons up close, all while keeping the ride gentle for all ages.

When adventures run long, Vivid's three guest rooms with en-suites offer cozy breaks to freshen up or nap. Drop the hydraulic swim platform for easy swims or toy play like paddleboards and snorkels that add splashy thrills. The bow lounge catches breezes and views head-on, perfect for sunset sails or family picnics. For more fancy options, check our luxury yacht hire page to level up your next booking.
