Flagship Cruises is a charter boat agency based at 30 The Promenade, King Street Wharf. It describes itself as Australia’s original charter boat agency, trading since 1982, and it is now owned by Australian Cruise Group. The agency reports more than fifteen thousand private charter cruises over that time.

How an agency differs from an operator

Flagship does not run one boat on a timetable. It matches an event to a vessel from a fleet that includes private charter boats, superyachts, catamarans and sailing boats, so the starting point is the size of the group and the kind of occasion rather than a departure time.

What it charters for

  • Private functions and parties
  • Gala dinners
  • Weddings
  • Business meetings and conferences
  • Christmas and office parties
  • New Year’s Eve charters
  • Vivid Sydney boat hire

Contact and location

Getting here

Flagship is on the promenade itself rather than at a numbered berth, and the vessel you board depends on the charter. King Street Wharf sits on the western edge of Sydney city centre, a short walk from Wynyard station. Our getting here guide covers the walking routes, and the parking page covers the nearby stations and car parks if you are driving. The wharves guide explains how the numbered berths are laid out, which is worth a look before you arrive, because the cruise operators along the promenade board from different wharves.
