BOAT CATERING

SYDNEY

Catering by Simon Sandall takes the guesswork out of feeding guests on the water. From intimate sunset charters to large-scale corporate cruises, we prepare menus specifically designed for boats — easy to serve, easy to store, and packed with flavour — then deliver everything wharfside, ready to load before you set off across Sydney Harbour.

BUILT FOR THE WATER

Catering on a boat isn't the same as catering on land, and we plan for that from the start. Limited fridge space, no ovens, tight timeframes at the wharf — our menus are designed to travel well and hold beautifully, so your food looks and tastes just as good three hours into the cruise as it did at departure.

Think grazing boards, canapés, seafood platters and share-style dishes that suit a moving deck and a champagne in hand — built around your guest count, your route and your budget.

THE EXPERIENCE

Boat charters run on tight schedules, and there's no room for a late delivery when the tide — and your guests — won't wait.

You'll work with a dedicated coordinator who plans delivery around your departure time and wharf location, so everything's packed, chilled and ready to go the moment you need it aboard.

PRIVATE CHEF EXPERIENCE

Some occasions call for more than a delivered menu — that's where our private chef service comes in.

For select charters, we can arrange a private chef to join you on board, preparing bespoke dishes to order throughout the day or evening. From fresh seafood cooked to order at anchor to a chef's tasting menu as the sun goes down, it's restaurant-quality dining without ever having to leave the deck. Available for smaller, more intimate charters where a fully hosted on-board experience is the goal.

FAQs

Do you deliver catering to wharves and marinas?

Yes. We regularly deliver to wharves and marinas across Sydney Harbour, including Rose Bay, Double Bay, Darling Harbour, the Spit and the CBD, timed to arrive ahead of your boarding or departure time so everything can be loaded straight onto the boat.

Can you coordinate delivery ahead of our departure time?

Yes. We coordinate delivery directly with your charter company or skipper wherever possible, working backwards from your departure time to make sure the food arrives fresh and ready to load, not left waiting on the dock.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

Absolutely. Our menus can be tailored to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other dietary requirements, ensuring every guest is well looked after.

Is the food suitable for boats with limited kitchen on fridge space?

Yes. Our boat menus are designed with on-water conditions in mind — dishes that travel well, hold their quality without constant refrigeration, and don't rely on reheating or cooking equipment once you're aboard.

How far in advance do I need to arrange boat catering?

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly around peak boating season and weekends, though shorter-notice charters can often still be accommodated. Submit an enquiry and we'll confirm what's possible for your date.
