About this tour
Catch Vivid Sydney's light installations from the water aboard Fleetwing II, an intimate 40-person catamaran. This 90-minute cruise departs from Pier 2, Walsh Bay, offering unobstructed views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Luna Park as they glow against the night sky. Multiple deck levels and sheltered viewing areas mean you'll find the perfect vantage point regardless of weather. Roaming canapes and your choice of wine, beer or soft drink keep you fuelled whilst you photograph the spectacle from this prime floating position.

What to expect
You'll board at Walsh Bay's public wharf and settle onto the catamaran's upper or lower decks as it pushes into the harbour. The vessel has sheltered areas and open deck space, so position yourself where the light show hits best. Crew circulate with canapes throughout the voyage whilst you nursing your included drink and watch the landmarks shift and change colour across the water. The boat handles all weather, though you'll want warm layers if the night's crisp. With only 40 passengers, you won't be jostling for rail space—most get decent sightlines. Plan the full 90 minutes to settle in and absorb the spectacle rather than rushing the experience.
Good to know
Arrive 15–20 minutes early; the wharf gets busy during Vivid and late arrivals cannot board. Look for a Sea Sydney Harbour representative at the pier to check you in. The departure point is Pier 2, Walsh Bay—use Google Maps to pinpoint it. BYO drinks are not permitted; the bar sells additional beverages. Dress warmly and bring a camera or phone with a charged battery.
