Experience Sydney Harbour in style aboard Galaxy I, a luxury motor yacht designed for comfortable day charters and memorable private events. With a spacious layout, professional crew and a mix of indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, Galaxy I works well for groups that want the atmosphere of a floating venue with the comfort of a private harbour cruise.
Originally built in 1998 and extensively refitted in 2006, Galaxy I combines classic yacht character with practical event features. The vessel can host stylish canapé receptions for up to 47 guests, relaxed buffet-style dining for up to 20 guests, or a more formal seated dining experience for up to 10 guests.
Inside, the open-plan saloon gives guests a welcoming space to relax, dine and socialise throughout the charter. Plush lounges, a full-service bar and expansive windows create a comfortable setting while framing Sydney’s iconic waterfront views as you cruise past the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and harbour bays.
For work functions and client hosting, Galaxy I is also a strong option for corporate events on Sydney Harbour. The layout gives guests space to mingle, enjoy food and drinks, and move between indoor and outdoor areas without the event feeling crowded or overly formal.
For social celebrations, Galaxy I can work well for birthday parties, hens and bucks groups, Christmas parties and private gatherings that need a more elevated setting than a standard venue booking. It offers the flexibility of a private charter while still giving guests the experience of cruising Sydney Harbour.
The upper-level flybridge provides a private, elevated space to soak up the sun, enjoy cocktails and take in the harbour breeze. Forward on the bow, guests can enjoy pre-dinner drinks, relaxed conversation or sunset views from one of the best vantage points on the vessel.
A generous swim platform with outdoor showers adds another layer to the charter experience, giving guests the option to cool off and enjoy the water during suitable conditions. Onboard entertainment features include surround sound stereo, Foxtel, satellite coverage, WiFi, TV, DVD player and iPod connectivity.
Catering is simple to plan, with premium food and beverage packages available, including a fully licensed bar. Flexible BYO options are also available, with fees applying, giving groups more choice when planning the style and budget of their harbour event.
With experienced crew and attentive waitstaff managing the details, guests can relax and enjoy a seamless luxury experience from the moment they step aboard. From the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge to hidden bays and beaches beyond, a charter on Galaxy I offers more than a cruise — it creates a private floating venue for occasions that deserve something special.
