Wedding Ceremony and Reception Harbour Cruise or Wedding Ceremony only
Free Wedding Images included
If you’ve always dreamed of a wedding that feels truly special, intimate, and unforgettable, a luxury wedding cruise on Sydney Harbour delivers something no land-based venue ever could. With sparkling water, iconic landmarks and ever changing views, your wedding day becomes a moving masterpiece; elegant, personal and effortlessly romantic.
We specialise in creating unforgettable wedding experiences aboard our beautifully appointed luxury yacht, the Sydney Sundancer. Whether you’re planning a full wedding ceremony and reception or a ceremony only cruise, your celebration is designed entirely around you.
A Wedding Cruise Ceremony Like No Other
Hosting your ceremony aboard a Sydney Harbour luxury wedding yacht charter gives you the freedom to choose a setting that perfectly reflects your love story. Couples can exchange vows near the world famous Sydney Opera House or retreat to a secluded, tree lined bay with soft white sand and gentle waves lapping the shore.
In a quiet bay, the atmosphere is calm and deeply romantic, with the only sounds being nature and the words you share with one another. For something truly iconic, John will manoeuvre “Sydney Sundancer” so that the two giant arches of the Sydney Opera House form a massive “Cathedral” behind the Bride and Groom. All guests have a clear view and can really feel part of the ceremony.
Award Winning Wedding Excellence
Luxury Sydney Harbour Cruises has earned an unrivalled reputation for exceptional wedding experiences. After winning the Australian Bridal Industry Academy (ABIA) Award for Best Wedding Reception Boat in NSW five years in a row, we were proudly inducted into the ABIA Hall of Fame for boat receptions Australia-wide.
This recognition reflects our attention to detail, personalised service, and commitment to making every wedding feel effortless and memorable, not rushed or generic.
Celebrate with a Floating Wedding Reception
After your wedding ceremony and have signed the register, we will cruise around the harbour before anchoring in a beautiful sheltered bay to enjoy superb food and wines, make speeches and cut the wedding cake! Watch a magical sun-set over the City skyline before being dropped off at your chosen wharf. Couples can even say goodbye to their guests, and have an overnight stay aboard with a champagne breakfast the following morning on deck with fabulous views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and City Skyline …all from your breakfast table! It does not get any better and SO private and romantic!
We are very flexible about your dream wedding. We even offer a cruise where the Bride, Groom and guests can enjoy a fabulous cruise around the harbour after their onshore or church wedding, between the ceremony and the reception!
This makes for fabulous photographic opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the weather changes on our wedding day?
Weather is always a consideration for outdoor weddings, which is why Sydney Sundancer was specifically designed with this in mind.

If the weather turns, your wedding continues in comfort and style without feeling closed in or compromised. Couples love knowing their Sydney Harbour cruise is beautifully weather proof, giving peace of mind right up to the big day.

The Sydney Sundancer is licensed to carry larger numbers, but we keep wedding guest numbers intentionally comfortable to maintain an intimate, elegant atmosphere.
