In what is shaping up to be the biggest and brightest light festival ever, Lifestyle Charters is gearing up to see the Vivid Sydney lights turn back on, from Friday 24 May to Saturday 15 June 2024.
Attracting thousands of local and international visitors and Sydneysiders, Vivid Sydney is one of Sydney’s most highly anticipated winter festivals, featuring the most spectacular light shows in the world.
With so much to see from the harbour, many Sydney Harbour charter boats are hosting special private two-hour Vivid Sydney luxury harbour cruises on board its boats, where you and your favourite colleagues, friends or family can join you to enjoy the light show away from the crowds, traffic and slow walkers.
And for those with young families, we have boats perfectly suited to kids, with fewer stairs and an open plan layout that makes supervising easier. Our kids who are 3, 5 and 6 years old all love experiencing the Vivid light show from the water.
Here are two of our favourite yachts on which to enjoy the Vivid Sydney Harbour Experience.

"Our Vivid experience with Lifestyle Charters is one we will never forget! Sam, Dave and the team were incredible and made sure every detail was organised. The atmosphere was unlike anything else and we all had the most amazing fun. Thank you!"
Vivid is a world-renowned creative festival featuring engaging light displays by well-known artists and collaborators projected onto Sydney’s world-famous buildings, bridges, parks and thoroughfares. It’s truly magical and by experiencing the light projections by boat, you’ll see sequences and art not easily seen on foot.
Also, winter on the harbour is very special. The light winds make it comfortable and not as cold as you think. Give it a go. I think you’ll like it!
A Vivid boat party or Vivid Sydney Harbour Tour starts around $1000 for two hours.

Is there anything better than a salty swim - maybe to dust off after a big week (or big night), or to reset your mind and mood. It’s certainly a mood changer and something we encourage doing on every charter! So to help make you and your guests more comfortable in the water, we have a handful of our favourite harbour swimming toys available on Enigma and Felix….
Lily pad - free on request
Sunchill - $150 hire fee per charter
Pool Pontoon - $400 hire fee per charter
2x Stand up paddle boards - $80 per board, per charter

Say hello to Felix 💙
This Sydney Harbour show-stopper seduces all its clients. Said by many, including me, to be one of Sydney’s best day boats, Felix can entertain up to 25 guests, is nimble enough to get in close to our stunning harbour beaches, and has a delicious Australian food and wine offering to boot. Tick. Tick. Tick.
This 55ft Salthouse cruise is the envy of most boat owners due to its clean lines, ample space, open plan design and modern aesthetics.
Have you been on board? Or have you got a charter booked on board Felix coming up?
We have some availability over the summer, so best to book soon if you haven’t already.
See you on the water soon xx
