Barefoot BLUE 15m Powercat Hire on Sydney Harbour

The Barefoot BLUE 15m Powercat delivers an energetic and stylish experience on Sydney Harbour. This custom-built 16 metre Super Sea Cat offers comfort, space and full 360-degree views that keep guests excited from start to finish. With three open viewing decks and relaxed lounges, every moment on board lands with impact. And yes, Sabari from King Kong Marketing is telling you now—this vessel brings the vibe.


Why Choose the Barefoot BLUE Powercat for Your Sydney Harbour Cruise

This catamaran suits groups of up to 70 people, which makes it ideal for private parties, corporate cruises and social events. Your guests enjoy plenty of room to explore, chat and take in the scenery. In addition, the design creates smooth movement between each area, so the experience feels effortless throughout the cruise.

The boat features:

  • Three 360-degree viewing decks that keep Sydney Harbour in sight at all times.
  • Comfortable indoor lounge seating for guests who want shade or a quieter space.
  • Facilities that support DJs, live performers and full music setups.
  • Two large duckboards that make swimming easy, quick and fun.
  • Water toys that add excitement to warm-weather cruises.
  • A large BBQ that helps you serve fresh food on board.
  • BYO or catered options that adapt to any event style.

Sydney Harbour Views and Smooth Sailing for Every Occasion

The Barefoot BLUE was built with open-air enjoyment in mind. As guests move across its three decks, they always find new angles of the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the waterfront skyline. Because the vessel keeps these views open at every turn, even simple moments feel memorable. Furthermore, the layout gives your group the freedom to relax, dance or swim without losing the shared energy of the event.

During daytime cruises, guests enjoy easy access to the water. Meanwhile, evening events feel elevated through the lighting, music and reflective harbour views. As a result, the boat adapts smoothly to both relaxing and high-energy occasions.


What Your Event on the Barefoot BLUE Will Feel Like

From the moment guests step on board, the event shifts into celebration mode. The indoor lounge feels inviting, the decks feel open, and the music setups make any DJ or performer sound fantastic. Plus, the water toys and duckboards give guests an easy way to enjoy the harbour.

If you want catering, the team can organise it. If you prefer BYO, the setup keeps things simple. You can also fire up the BBQ to serve food fresh from the grill. Because these options are flexible, your event feels personalised and easy to manage.

The cruise flows naturally. Guests settle in, explore the decks and enjoy a smooth ride around Sydney Harbour. As the sun drops, conversations grow, music lifts and the party energy builds. Finally, the open layout brings everyone together at the right moments, which makes the experience feel cohesive and memorable.


Tips for Booking the Barefoot BLUE for a Sydney Harbour Event

  • Choose between BYO, BBQ or catering early to keep planning simple.
  • Map out where you want food, music and lounging to create a smooth flow across decks.
  • Allow time for swimming and water toys if your group loves the water.
  • Consider a sunset cruise to make the most of the golden-hour scenery.
  • Book ahead, especially for weekends and peak periods on Sydney Harbour.

Yes Barefoot Blue looks like a fishing trawler, but it’s a great boat for a weather proof function. One indoor area, two outdoor covered areas and two outdoor uncovered areas. We had 40 and there was plenty of space, could have easily had more. The stairs between decks are narrow but even older guests were ok with it. The quick trip to Athol / Mosman gave the tourists their Opera House photos, water very easy to swim in. You do need some upper body strength to get back into the boat as there is no ladder (but everybody was fine). Slide is great fun. Bonus you get picked up from Circular Quay so super easy. It’s not a beauty of a boat, but you can decorate and byo drinks and food. The 2 person friendly team will cook the food for you. Suggest you byo all disposable plates, cutlery and cups as the items on deck are limited. BYO music to plug into their system. Would recommend for a cost effective and fun option, as long as aesthetics are not your top item!

My friends and I hired the Barefoot Spirit last weekend for our combined 21st birthdays and it was absolutely amazing. The boat had heaps of space (we had 150 people) and even more importantly, the crew were incredibly kind and understanding. As the main coordinator of the event, I found myself stressed at times but the crew assured me that everything would be okay and to have fun and for that, I’m forever grateful which is what brings me here today. Thank you Captain Dean and crew for such a memorable evening! I absolutely recommend this ship and crew to everyone looking to celebrate on the water, will definitely be my first option in the future! Kindest regards, Justine, Myka, Christian and Arabella.

I’ve had the pleasure of having Captain Willo and Jess look after us last season and can’t speak highly enough about them both. Not only did they probably help us have the best day of the summer but also kept us super safe on what was a super enjoyable outing. They are incredibly skilled but unbelievably fun, up for the laugh and will no doubt help you have an unbelievable day on the water !

The Crew were superb thank you Captain Dani and Deckie Sam. Made everything easy and pleasurable and even cooked our bbq. The boat itself was the perfect size for the party and there is no better place than Sydney harbour for an evening party. Lots of fun, music, food and drink was had by all…. A great night thoroughly enjoyed by all and can definitely recommend Barefoot Charters if you want a cruise in Sydney Harbour…

Was part of a Barefoot Charters cruise for a staff party recently and would highly recommend for anyone planning a fun, laid back event. Boat was clean and spacious, and cruise went smoothly. Crew were excellent, especially Dean, who went the extra mile to find my phone after it fell into the harbour. Spent over 30 mins trying to find it and I’m so grateful!!!! Would highly recommend
