Major Tom is considered to be one of the most affordable charters for hire in Sydney Harbour. The 64ft sailing charter boat holds a maximum capacity of 34 guests so it is great for almost any occasion. Major Tom is perfect for entertaining because it features; 3 entertainment areas, a convertible day bed, a large saloon, a sound system, and a massive deck.
Boat hire on Major Tom is different from other chartered boats. She is only one of a few that is a large sailing yacht that can cater to large groups. We recommend Major Tom for boat hire for birthday cruises, Boxing Day cruises, and Easter cruises.
