The Boat

A.Q.A is a magnificent 92’ yacht with clean, elegant exterior lines and impressive interior recently renovated.

She has been designed specifically for the boat hire market, which means that everything has been thought of in advance and refined with you in mind to maximize the space for exclusive entertainment. Superbly appointed inside and out, she offers a great versatility in layout and interior design. The bright and airy main deck is covered, with provision for all weathers conditions, be it stunning sunshine or blustery rain.

The main deck is the perfect place to gather around the large table for lunch or dinner.

The sizeable and beautifully fitted lounge has clean, modern lines, with ample sumptuous leather sofas to relax on. However, all furniture can be removed in both lounge and dining area, should you prefer to open up the extra floor space. There is ample additional seating throughout the rest of the vessel, making this a great option for a cocktail or buffet style party.

As you would expect from a boat of this calibre, A.Q.A. has a great crew and lots of menus available for you to choose from including buffets and canapés. Formal dining is also available with an “a la carte” menu, fully customizable.

The bow (front of the boat) is a great place to just sit back, relax and really take in the views of the harbour as they approach. With a sun bed to stretch out on, and other seating options, this is the place to chill in the sun, champagne in hand, watching the harbour drift by.

The upper deck also offers a fantastic vantage point. Whilst the fly deck is completely sun-drenched, there is also plenty of shaded. The outer deck is completely open and has a comfy day bed to lounge on, it is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery with friends or colleagues.

AQA is a fantastic choice for an adventure out in Sydney Harbour. Recommended for corporate events or any other special events for up to 64 guests.
