About Monkey Business

Monkey Business is a 12-metre Noosa Cat 4400 power catamaran that comfortably hosts up to 34 guests, even though she's licensed for 42, giving everyone plenty of room to relax and enjoy the harbour. Step inside the sheltered cabin to find a cosy lounge, kitchen and bathroom, while clear rainproof walls mean the good times continue whatever the weather decides to do. The outdoor deck has been styled with fake grass and tropical plants for a relaxed, resort-style feel, and the onboard sound system is powerful enough to plug in a BYO DJ setup if you want to keep the dancefloor going. A swimming platform and hot water outdoor shower make it easy to cool off during the warmer months, and there's a BBQ on board for those who want to keep the catering casual. For a bit of extra fun on the water, guests can request the complimentary 6-metre Bullfrog Lilypad and Stand Up Paddleboard, or try out the unique Air Lounger, both great ways to make the most of a sunny Sydney Harbour day.
