About Ocean Life

Ocean Life is a custom-built party catamaran that stands apart from the usual charter fleet – a Sea Spa–style trampoline lets up to 15 guests splash in the water mid-cruise, and a retractable sunroof with roll-up sides keeps the vessel weatherproof either way. With capacity for 44 guests, indoor seating for 35 and a 36sqm dining area, there's room to move between eating, dancing and lounging. LED strips and strobe lighting, a 1000-watt Bluetooth stereo and a dedicated dance floor space bring the party energy, while a 220-litre fridge, large esky and onboard BBQ cover food and drinks – choose a licensed bar package or BYO. Optional water toys include an inflatable sofa, a stand-up paddleboard and a lily pad, and the vessel is pram and wheelchair accessible. King Street Wharf is the most popular pickup, with a long list of alternatives across the harbour including Rose Bay, Double Bay and Manly (earlier charters only). Minimum charter is 4 hours, with time slots running from midday through to 10:30pm.
