Barefoot Blue | NYE Fireworks Cruise | All Inclusive | Open Air Decks

See out 2026 aboard Barefoot Blue, a custom-built 16-metre catamaran with three full 360° viewing decks, cruising Sydney Harbour for a front-row seat to the fireworks.

Cruise through the harbour for approximately 5.5 hours while enjoying all-inclusive food, beverages, entertainment and access to spacious indoor and outdoor viewing areas.

With 70 guest tickets available, this is a full-boat experience - plenty of room to move between decks, but still small enough to avoid the crush of the big multi-hundred-guest boats.
