Here are some events best enjoyed with the harbour as your backdrop. New Years Eve [caption id="attachment_2884" align="alignnone" width="672"] New Years Eve Cruises on Sydney Harbour[/caption] Of course you want to be as close to the action as possible so you can watch the fireworks over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and ring in the new year.  This NYE, why not take advantage of Sydney Harbour boat hire and get one of the very best views in the city? There is no need to worry about squeezing in amongst the crowds or closely guarding a picnic spot all afternoon. You can enjoy space and privacy on your own vessel alongside a small (or very large) group of friends.  Christmas [caption id="attachment_2885" align="alignnone" width="672"] Christmas Cruises on Sydney Harbour[/caption] Sydney’s summer Christmases are an absolute joy. Make yours even more special with a celebration on the water.  Plan your work or family Christmas party on a vessel and celebrate the festive season together. Bring a group of over 100 or just a couple of dozen. There is plenty of room for everyone to enjoy themselves above or below deck.  Milestone birthdays [caption id="attachment_2886" align="alignnone" width="672"] Birthday Cruises on Sydney Harbour[/caption] It could be your company or you who is having a big birthday. Sydney harbour boat hire is the way to celebrate. Choose a vessel to suit your budget and your guest numbers, and enjoy a party with friends, family and VIP guests. Don’t forget the music and catering! Whale watching [caption id="attachment_2887" align="alignnone" width="672"] Whale Watching Cruises Sydney[/caption] Sydney is treated to the sights of whales breaching off the coast as they migrate to and from warmer waters.  The best times for whale watching are late June and early July but you have a chance of spotting whales between May and November.  It is such a thrill to see whales and their young leaping out of the water but even if you don’t get a good sighting, heading  out to the open sea on a private vessel is always exciting.  Your big proposal [caption id="attachment_2888" align="alignnone" width="672"] Sydney Harbour Proposal Ideas[/caption] Want to make your marriage proposal a magical event?  Hire a private vessel for two and pop the question. Choose a ‘bijou’ boat, pull up to a secluded beach and have a picnic, or hire a luxury superyacht like the Privacy to really impress her (or him).  You can plan ahead and have lunch and champagne ready or schedule an evening cruise for the ultimate romantic experience.  Weddings, hen’s parties, buck’s nights and more [caption id="attachment_2889" align="alignnone" width="672"] Sydney Harbour Wedding Cruises[/caption] Once you have proposed on the water, continue the theme with Sydney harbour boat hire.
