Why not join us on scenic Newcastle Harbour for your special occasion? NOVA Cruises have a range of exclusive charter options available for both large functions and small intimate occasions.

Enjoy a private charter on our European Style Cruiser, “The Princess”, discovering the inner workings of the Newcastle Harbour whilst hosting your corporate event, wedding, or private function. “The Princess” has a main saloon which can seat up to 100 people for lunch or dinner or 150 guests celebrating a canape function. It features a forward-facing captain's lounge, licensed bar, galley, restrooms and spiral staircase to the upper alfresco deck. When hiring this vessel out for a private charter you are encouraged to bring a USB stick of photos or presentations to display on our large TV, decorate or have musical entertainment whether that is a live performance or simply your Spotify login. Patrons are encouraged to relax and carve up the large dancefloor and party the day/night away!

“Bay Connections 1” is our other Newcastle Harbour option for smaller groups but can also navigate the Hunter River. This vessel is ideal for groups of 30 – 45 people who would like to have pre-dinner drinks before disembarking at either the Newcastle Yacht Club or Earp Distillery for lunch or dinner. It is a unique option for Corporate Christmas Parties, Bucks and Hens Shows or small birthday events. Wait! Don’t forget the kids… “Bay Connections 1” is perfect for classroom size groups to explore the Hunter River. And of course, we can’t forget about our whale watching options from May – Nov.
