YOT Viva is the newest premium motor yacht in the Boatique fleet — 80-guest capacity, Barangaroo / Darling Harbour departure, full licensed bar, dance floor, and the production scale of a luxury small-vessel charter without the 400-guest function-ferry feel.
YOT Viva NYE 2026/27
YOT Viva sits in the sweet spot of the premium NYE market: small enough that 80 guests feels like a private event rather than a function, large enough to carry a proper licensed bar, dance floor, indoor and outdoor entertainment areas, and professional crew. Barangaroo / Darling Harbour departure puts you in the western basin with quick access to the central harbour for both fireworks shows. Multiple cabins onboard, walk-around decks for the fireworks viewing, and the kind of vessel quality that turns the night into a flagship occasion.
