Opal Escape Charters
Opal Escape Charters
Step aboard our beautifully kept Sea Ray 395, and discover Sydney Harbour the relaxed way — private, personal, and designed entirely around you.
Cruise with a maximum of 4 guests, skippered by an experienced local captain (that’s me!) for a day that’s as flexible or as chilled as you like. Whether you’re after a romantic sunset, a family day on the water, or a quiet celebration with friends, we’ll make it unforgettable
What to Expect:
All our charters blend scenic cruising with time to drop anchor and enjoy the harbour at your own pace.
We don’t race from bay to bay — we take a comfortable cruise past Sydney’s iconic landmarks, then anchor in a beautiful sheltered spot where you can swim, paddleboard, fire up the BBQ, or just relax on deck with your favourite drink.
It’s about quality time on the water, not distance covered.
Food & Drinks:
- BYO welcome! Bring your own food and drinks.
- Microwave, fridge & freezer onboard to keep meals fresh and drinks cold.
Onboard Comforts & Amenities:
- Bluetooth sound system
- Inflatable paddleboard
- Splash pond
- Air-conditioned cabin with shower, toilet, and towels
- BBQ, fridge, microwave, stove
- Sun protection canopy and plenty of lounging space
What to Bring?
- Your favourite food & drinks
- Swimwear, sunscreen, and a hat
- A good playlist (or I’ll have one ready!)
Pickup & Drop-off Options:
Our standard departure point is Cabarita Wharf, ideal for guests in Sydney’s Inner West.
We can also arrange pickups from other popular Sydney Harbour wharves (such as Pirrama Park Wharf).
