Dining Aboard Sirenuse
"Icebergs Dining Room and Bar is a true icon of Sydney dining, and we are honoured to collaborate with them in continuing to showcase the beauty of our city."
Icebergs Dining Room and Bar takes its kitchen out onto Sydney Harbour, aboard Sirenuse, a 105ft Monte Carlo motor yacht with a master suite, sleeping up to eight. It is a standing offer, available year round on enquiry rather than a seasonal one, though most charters land over the warmer months.
Dining on board takes three forms: canapés, a feasting menu with shared entrées and silver-served mains, or a menu built with our head chef around your day. For canapés, allow six pieces per guest for something lighter, eight to ten for a more substantial offering.
A corporate lunch, a media launch, a birthday, a day on the harbour. Send the date, the number of guests and your preferred hours on the water to events@idrb.com, and the events team will come back with a proposal and a quote for the charter.
A Harbour Charter with the Icebergs Kitchen on Board
At Icebergs in Bondi, the dining room looks out to the ocean. On board Sirenuse, the water becomes the room. There’s no fixed sitting and no last table, just Sydney Harbour drifting past the deck as the food arrives at an unhurried pace. The rest of the day takes whatever shape your guests give it.
A Sydney yacht charter changes what a lunch can be asked to do. A client day that would run two hours in a dining room stretches comfortably across an afternoon on the water. A launch that needs a room nobody has seen before finds one. The same kitchen and the same service that has held at Bondi, carried out onto the harbour and set down in front of guests who did not expect it there.
Some charters are booked a season ahead. Others come together in a fortnight around a date that will not move. Both work.
FAQs
1. Is the Icebergs yacht experience available year round?
Yes. It runs year round on enquiry rather than seasonally. Most charters land over the warmer months, though the harbour reads differently in winter and the kitchen works the same either way.
2. What is included in a Sydney yacht charter with Icebergs?
The Icebergs kitchen and floor team come aboard with the food and the service. Send the date, the guest numbers and the hours you want on the water to events@idrb.com and the events team will come back with a single proposal covering the vessel and the catering together.
3. Can the menu be tailored to the occasion?
Yes. There are three ways to eat on board: canapés, a feasting menu with entrées shared and mains silver served at the table, or a menu built with the head chef around the day you have in mind. House guidance is six pieces per person for something lighter and eight to ten for a fuller offering.
4. How many guests can Sirenuse host for a day or evening charter?
It depends on the format you choose. As a guide, Sirenuse sleeps up to eight for an overnight stay and holds up to 36 guests standing. The events team will confirm what a dining charter comfortably seats for your group and the service you have in mind.
5. Is Sirenuse suitable for corporate events and launches?
Yes. Corporate days, media launches and client entertaining make up much of what happens on board, and the format suits an afternoon that needs to hold people longer than a restaurant table will. For anything that suits the room more than the water, venue hire at Bondi can seat groups across the Dining Room and the Pacific Dining Room.
6. Can Sirenuse be part of a wedding day?
Sirenuse can host intimate wedding ceremonies on board. Enquire with our events team to discuss your plans.
7. How do I enquire about private yacht hire in Sydney?
Send the date, the number of guests and the hours you want on the water to events@idrb.com. The events team will come back with a proposal and a quote for the charter. The event pack is available here as well, for anything you want to read through first.
