Private Cruises

Our private cruise options are perfect for private couples, family functions or year-end functions.

Not keen to join a cruise with other people? Are you looking for a little quality time with that special person - or are you perhaps wanting to celebrate a special occasion with a group of friends and loved ones? Well - the good news is that our cruises are all customisable, and private options are available! You can book the boat all for yourself - and enjoy any one of our cruise options and various departure times. But ... pre-booking is essential and subject to availability. So don't delay!
