The Best Sydney Harbour Showboat Charter

Sydney Showboat II

Sydney Showboats is a stunning New Orleans-style paddlewheeler with 35 years of expertise on Sydney Harbour. This theatre-style event boat has cathedral windows, a stage and three large interior dining areas with a flexible layout. Sydney Showboat is also known for staging Australia’s longest-running cabaret, ‘Voyage of Love’, which features talented songstresses, follies and dancers. There’s no doubt, that an event which has a show included will impress your guests! We have a friendly crew on board who will be aboard to make sure all our guests are satisfied throughout the cruise.

Contact our charter team who will help you choose a cruise package that suits yours budget and needs for the event. Ask for a tailored quote if you wish to have it customised based on your taste. The Showboat also has a private deck which is apt for hosting small events. Whichever package you choose, we guarantee you the best experience that stands a class apart from the rest of the event venues in Sydney. Book your cruise today!
