About

Boxing Day is the busiest day of the year on Sydney Harbour, and the best place to spend it is out on the water.

Step aboard MV Bay Runner for three hours of harbour views, a buffet lunch and a drinks package. Grab a spot on the open-air rooftop when the Sydney to Hobart fleet starts at 1pm.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

🥂 Welcome Drink: A glass of Australian sparkling on arrival.

🍲 Buffet Lunch: Seasonal dishes and desserts.

🍾 Drinks Package: Beer, red and white wine, sparkling and soft drinks for the full cruise.

🍸 Cocktail Bar: Spirits and cocktails available to purchase.

⚓ Open-Air Rooftop: 360° views of the harbour, plus two viewing decks below.

⛵ Sydney to Hobart Race Start: The race is scheduled to start at 1pm while we’re on the harbour. Bay Runner will be part of the general spectator fleet as the yachts head for the Heads.

🎵 Music: Throughout the cruise.
