About Karisma II
Karisma II is the flagship of Karisma Cruises, a family-run Sydney charter company that started with a single boat in 2011. The owners designed her around what they had learnt from years of running their first catamaran, had her built, and shipped her to Sydney Harbour, where she began charters at the end of 2022. At 24 metres she is the fleet's large-event vessel. There are three covered entertaining zones plus a 25-square-metre bow deck. The 85-square-metre lower deck can be fully enclosed and holds around 80 people on its own, and the 65-square-metre top deck and 35-square-metre aft deck open up to 360-degree harbour views. Two marble bars, dance floors on the upper and lower levels, a DJ or band area, a PA with a microphone, LED lighting, built-in overhead heaters and air conditioning in the saloon cover most events. There are separate male and female bathrooms and a swim ladder for summer charters. Capacity is 150 for a cocktail party, or 70 for a seated formal dinner or seated buffet. Most charters are full service with onboard catering and drinks packages, and the company also runs set packages for school and university formals and socials with food, drinks and a live DJ. BYO can be arranged by request for up to 70 guests outside November and December, with ice, glassware, plates and cutlery covered in a per-head fee. Loading happens at Sydney Blackwattle Bay Marina, with an hour of loading time included.

Can we BYO on Karisma II?
By request, for up to 70 guests, except in November and December. The per-head BYO fee covers ice, glassware, disposable plates, cutlery and serveware, and an hour of loading time at Sydney Blackwattle Bay Marina is included for loading.
Is Karisma II suitable for a school formal or uni social?
Yes. Karisma Cruises runs set formal and social packages on this boat with food, free-flowing drinks and a live DJ. Ask the team about supervision and alcohol rules when younger guests are coming.
What happens if the weather turns?
The lower deck can be fully enclosed, the saloon is air conditioned and overhead heaters are built in, so the event can move inside without losing the view.
Where can guests board?
Choose your wharf; King Street Wharf and Casino Wharf are the most common. Outer wharves such as Manly, Rose Bay, Double Bay or Middle Harbour add a travel fee each way.
