🐾 ALL ABOARD THIS PAWS-OME NEW CRUISE: DOGS ON DECK HARBOUR CRUISE LAUNCHES IN SYDNEY

Calling all dog lovers, harbour lovers, and anyone who’s ever dreamed of sipping a drink while your pup sniffs sea salt on the breeze — your dream just came true. Introducing the Dogs on Deck Harbour Cruise, Sydney’s first (and best) full-fledged dog-friendly harbour adventure!

Why This Cruise Is the Bark of the Town

  • Bring your four-legged bestie – This isn’t just “humans allowed, dogs tolerated” — this cruise is designed for dogs and dog-lovers. Small to medium dogs (up to 25 kg) who are well-behaved, vaccinated, and social get their very own ticket and a front-row seat to the harbour.
  • Intimate vibes – Maximum of 20 passengers + 8 dogs per cruise means you won’t be lost in a sea of strangers. It’s a social, relaxed, dog-friendly mixer on water.
  • Grazing + treats – People nibble on a grazing platter, sip BYO drinks (no corkage fees), and dogs enjoy pup-friendly treats and water bowls.
  • Iconic scenery – Glide past Sydney’s most famous landmarks — the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Barangaroo, Luna Park and more — all with your pup by your side.
  • Easy meet-up – Departure is from Man O’War Steps (right by the Opera House). Plan to arrive 15–20 minutes before departure.

Imagine the Day

Picture this… You arrive at the wharf, leash in hand, heart full of excitement. Your dog gives you the “Is this really happening?!” look (spoiler: yes, it is). You step onto the catamaran. A salty breeze. Soft chatter from fellow dog lovers. A grazing board laid out. The city skyline shimmering in the afternoon light. As the boat pushes off, your dog’s ears flap in the wind, tail wagging like a happy pendulum. You and your pup cruise beneath the Harbour Bridge, past Luna Park’s bright colours, and round Fort Denison. You meet new friends — two-legged and four-legged — exchange dog tips, swap treats, and snap the cutest photos of your furball against Sydney’s iconic backdrop.

One hour later, you disembark feeling like you and your pup just starred in “Sydney: The Dog Edition.” 🐶✨

Why You’ll Want to Be First in Line

  • It’s unique – How many times have you seen a fully hosted dog-friendly harbour cruise? Not many.
  • Photo ops = goldmine – Iconic skyline + cute dog = Instagram content for weeks.
  • Community vibes – Meet fellow dog lovers — people who “get it.”
  • Memories + wagging tails – It’s more than a tourist activity — it’s a memory you’ll share with your pet.

Ready to Hop (or Paw) On?

The Dogs on Deck Harbour Cruise officially launches in November, and bookings are open. Whether you’re a Sydneysider or visiting the city and missing your pup back home, this is your chance to celebrate your furry friend in style… or simply soak up the joy and wagging tails from other people’s dogs!

🎟️ Limited spots available: Only 8 dogs per cruise, so don’t miss out!

Leash up, pack some treats, grab your camera, and hop on board. This isn’t just a cruise – it’s a memory, a mini adventure, and a celebration of the happiest four-legged companions around. Your pup deserves it… and honestly, so do you!

OUR FUR CAPTAIN, ‘SKIPPER’

We have a new fur baby in the Sea Sydney Harbour family, and he is a bundle of cuteness and joy! With a nautical-inspired name, he is set to be the head of the boat and he has already begun learning the ropes.

THE CUTEST MEMBER OF THE TEAM

INTRODUCING ‘SKIPPER’ !

Skipper is a black (and white) schnoodle and he is a handsome boy. He is extremely affectionate, gentle, and friendly, and he loves to play with other dogs and humans, particularly young children. He has a child-like spring in his little step that is adorable, and while he loves to play indoors with his toys (he is so small he sometimes thinks he is a toy), the outdoors is an exciting adventure for him every time – at just 3 months old, the world is a very big and exhausting place!

In his short time with us, Skipper has already begun his boating adventures! He has visited a number of marinas and taken walks along the berths, and he has ventured out onto boats already, so he finds his sea legs at a young age. Fleetwing II seems to be his favourite vessel, and he didn’t take long to find his seat on the boat – move over Captain Frank!

Captain Frank has fallen head over heels for our little fur Captain, Skipper, and their bond is growing every day. They love sharing special captain cuddles and kisses, and having fun together both on and off the water. We can only imagine what adventures they will be getting up to in the future…


Stay tuned for Skipper’s adventures and amazingly cute pictures (we are sure there will be many) to come! Follow Sea Sydney Harbour on Instagram and like our Facebook page for all the fur fun!
