The Sydney Showboat was purpose-built with a theatre-style layout and all the trappings of stage, light and sound requirements to host live cabaret shows, luxury dinner cruises and provide a unique viewing gallery to take in all the gorgeous sights Sydney Harbour has to offer. The Showboat started off with dinner cruises and small entertainment acts, dances, songs, magic and burlesque acts, which over time, evolved into an extravagant cabaret show that lent a whole new perspective to cruising and dining on Sydney Harbour!

Host a private function that surpasses your wildest imaginations aboard one of the best cruising party halls available for hire in Sydney!
