There's a distinct magic that happens when luxury meets intimacy. When the gleaming Sydney Harbour becomes your private playground. When the world shrinks to just you, your partner, and 90 feet of floating opulence.

We're talking about Orraia—Australia's first custom-built superyacht designed for those who understand that true romance isn't found in grand gestures, but in perfectly executed moments of privacy and indulgence.

Beyond the Five-Star Hotel: Why a Yacht Changes Everything

Let's be honest. Sydney has no shortage of luxury hotels with harbour views. You can book a premium suite, enjoy room service, and watch the ferries crisscross the water from your window.

But there's a fundamental difference between observing the harbour and becoming part of it.

With our sydney's luxurious yacht, you don't just see the Opera House—you drift past it while sipping champagne on the foredeck. The Harbour Bridge isn't just a distant landmark—it's towering above you as our yacht glides underneath, stars emerging one by one in the darkening sky.

This is Sydney experienced in three dimensions, with all five senses engaged. The gentle sway of the water beneath you. The taste of salt in the air. The sound of water lapping against the hull as you fall asleep. No hotel suite, however extravagant, can replicate these sensations.

The Yacht That Redefines Australian Luxury

Stretching 27.45 meters from bow to stern, Orraia isn't just another pretty boat in a harbour full of pretty boats. We've created a floating masterpiece that brings a level of sophistication that's genuinely new to Australian waters.

Our interior design draws inspiration directly from Australia's breathtaking landscapes—the rich coppers reminiscent of the Red Centre, the eucalypt greens and browns of our forests, and the misty greys of the High Country. This isn't generic luxury; it's luxury with a distinctly Australian soul.

Each of Orraia's five bedrooms features private en suites with custom upgraded finishes that wouldn't be out of place in the world's most exclusive hotels. The difference? These rooms drift to a new vista while you sleep.

Privacy: The Ultimate Luxury

In an age where privacy has become the rarest commodity, we offer the ultimate escape. While Orraia can accommodate up to 35 guests for day events, overnight experiences transform her into your exclusive domain.

There's something profoundly intimate about having our professional crew, whose sole purpose is to anticipate your needs while remaining practically invisible. They understand that true luxury service isn't about being seen—it's about ensuring you and your partner feel like you're the only people in the world.

Culinary Romance: Beyond the Expected

When it comes to romantic dining, context is everything. A meal isn't just about the food—it's about the moment.

At Orraia, we've partnered with renowned chef Justine Schofield to create dining experiences that transform your evening into a culinary adventure. Imagine this: as the last rays of sunlight dance across the harbour, our crew prepares your private deck for dinner.

Our five-course modern Australian fine dining experience showcases native ingredients in their most elegant form:

• Crostini of Spanner Crab with Native Lime & Salmon Roe—delicate morsels that burst with the fresh flavours of the sea

• Golden Polenta paired with San Daniele Prosciutto and Whipped Truffle Ricotta—a textural masterpiece that melts in your mouth.

• Salad of Hot Smoked Salmon with Pickled Zucchini, Macadamia and Crème Fraiche—a symphony of smoke and tang

• Roasted Lamb nestled on Potato Gratin with Confit of Capsicum—comfort elevated to art

• Yoghurt Panna Cotta crowned with this season's strawberries—the perfect light finish to a memorable meal.

Each dish is thoughtfully paired with premium wines, creating layers of flavour that unfold as Sydney's city lights begin to twinkle against the night sky.

For truly special occasions, we can even arrange for Justine herself to come aboard (subject to availability)—bringing another layer of exclusivity to your romantic escape.

The Symphony of an Overnight Experience

Your overnight journey with Orraia isn't a static experience—it's a carefully orchestrated symphony that begins the moment you step aboard.

Your evening might begin with cocktails on the upper deck as the sun sets, casting golden light across the harbour. As night falls, you might move to your private dining area, where our crew has prepared an intimate table for two. After dinner, perhaps a nightcap under the stars before retiring to your luxurious master suite.

Come morning, you'll wake to the gentle rocking of the yacht and soft light filtering through your windows. A freshly prepared breakfast awaits on the deck, where you can watch Sydney slowly come to life as you enjoy perfectly brewed coffee and gourmet morning delights.

Beyond the Yacht: Your Private Sydney

What truly sets an Orraia overnight stay apart is that it comes with something no hotel can offer: a mobile, private vantage point from which to explore Sydney's most intimate corners.

Our Capelli tender—a sleek vessel in its own right—stands ready to whisk you away to secluded beaches inaccessible by land. Want to swim at a hidden cove as the sun rises? We know just the spot. Desire a champagne toast on a private sandbank? Consider it arranged.

For the more adventurous, our array of water toys—jet skis, sea bobs, kayaks, and paddleboards—lets you explore Sydney Harbour actively. Return from your aquatic adventures to our state-of-the-art spa on the aft deck, where you can soak tired muscles while watching the harbour activity unfold.

The Romance of Exclusivity

At its core, romance thrives on exclusivity—the feeling that this moment, this experience, exists solely for you and your partner. It's about creating memories that belong exclusively to you both.

Starting from $32,000 for a one-night charter, an Orraia experience represents a significant investment in your relationship. But we've found that our guests understand what they're really purchasing: uninterrupted time together in an environment designed to heighten every sensation and deepen every connection.

For engagements, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or simply because your relationship deserves celebration, we offer the backdrop for stories you'll tell for decades to come.

Your Journey Begins Before You Step Aboard

At Orraia, we understand that anticipation is half the pleasure of any luxury experience. That's why your journey begins long before you step aboard.

From the moment you contact our concierge team, we begin crafting your bespoke experience. Prefer certain wines? We'll have them chilled and waiting. Planning a surprise proposal?

Our crew becomes your silent accomplices. Special dietary requirements? Our chef will create custom menus that delight without compromise.

Your journey can begin with our luxury chauffeur service from your doorstep, ensuring that the transition from everyday life to an extraordinary experience is seamless and stress-free.

More Than a Stay—A Transformation

The most frequent comment we hear from couples after their overnight experience? "We didn't realise how much we needed this."

In a world of constant connectivity and relentless pace, the luxury of disconnecting—of being present with the one person who matters most—has become the rarest commodity of all.

An overnight stay on Orraia offers more than romance; it offers restoration. The gentle rocking of the yacht lulls you into the deepest sleep. The absence of demands gives you space to reconnect. The changing vistas remind you that sometimes, the most important journey is the one back to each other.

As Virginia Woolf once wrote, "There's nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and amazing than life at sea." Aboard Orraia, sailing Sydney's magnificent harbour with the one you love, you'll discover just how true those words are.
