About What's Kraken

What's Kraken brings the stability and open deck space of a catamaran together with a genuinely flexible catering setup, making it a great pick for groups who want to build their own harbour experience. With room for 20 guests, there's plenty of space to move between table dining, deck lounging and taking in the view. The onboard BBQ facility means you can go casual with a self-catered cookout or order in a BBQ or canape menu, while the BYO food and drinks policy gives you full control over your budget and menu. Cups, plates and cutlery are all provided, so the only thing left to sort is what you're bringing aboard. With pick-up options across the harbour, from the CBD to Balmain and the eastern suburbs, and charter blocks built around popular daytime and evening slots, What's Kraken suits everything from a relaxed afternoon cruise to an evening party on the water.
