About LUX Yachting

LUX Yachting is a Pyrmont charter business that has been booking boats on Sydney Harbour since 2010. It is run by managing director Adam Elias, who has more than 15 years around boats, and Fafina Elias, who looks after international clients and speaks several languages. Rather than a long catalogue, the site lists eight large vessels that the team has selected, suited to groups from a few dozen up to several hundred people. The most affordable is Aussie Magic, an 86-foot catamaran for up to 150 guests, from $975 an hour between April and September and $1,100 in the warmer months, with a dance floor, retractable sunroof and BYO on approval. Blue Room, an 85-foot event boat for 380, starts at $1,500 an hour, and Bella Vista, a 120-foot glass-sided vessel for 800, from $1,800. Among the yachts, Privacy (36 guests) is from $1,650, AQA (65) from $1,950, Seven Star, a 98-foot Azimut for 80, from $2,000, Corroboree (110) from $2,600 and Masteka 2, a 122-foot superyacht for 80, from $3,250 all year. Rates rise in summer and December on most boats, so the season makes a real difference to the price. Extras vary by vessel and include catering, drinks packages, DJs, live bands, comedians, magicians, photo booths, stylists, photographers, paddleboards, kayaks and lily pads, and Seven Star has a waterslide and jacuzzi. The team takes enquiries by phone, email or quote form every day from 8am to 8pm and aims to respond within two hours. It suits bigger celebrations and company events where a large, well-equipped boat matters more than a budget price.

Pricing

Boats are hired by the hour, with seasonal rates. Aussie Magic (150 guests) is from $975 an hour from April to September and $1,100 from October to March. Blue Room (380) is $1,500 to $1,900, Bella Vista (800) $1,800 to $2,500, Privacy (36) $1,650 to $1,850, AQA (65) $1,950 to $2,250, Seven Star (80) $2,000 to $2,500, Corroboree (110) $2,600 to $3,200 and Masteka 2 (80) $3,250 all year. Catering, drinks packages, entertainment and water toys are extra. Pricing depends on the date, guest numbers and inclusions, so enquire for a quote.

How We Work

Call, email or use the quote form with your date, guest numbers and the kind of event, and the team aims to respond within two hours, any day between 8am and 8pm. They help you choose between the eight vessels based on group size, season and style, then add the extras that suit the occasion, such as catering, drinks packages, a DJ or live band, a photographer, a stylist or water toys. International guests can deal with a director who looks after overseas clients and speaks several languages.
