Captain Matt: private Sydney Harbour charters and boat services
Captain Matt offers private Sydney Harbour charters, captaincy, deliveries and engineering services. It gives groups a way to enjoy time afloat and vessel owners a professional contact for operating or moving their boats.
Make a harbour outing the occasion
Through Exclusive Boats, Matt Dawe offers private trips aboard the 40-foot catamaran LIFES GOOD, with other vessels available by arrangement. Family gatherings, birthdays and work events can be organised around a charter, including discussion of swimming and barbecue plans.
We like that people can enjoy the harbour together without the organiser needing to run the vessel. A private booking creates space for the group and gives the day a clear focus: spending time on the water with a skipper handling the boat.
Practical services behind the enjoyment
Matt's Royal Australian Navy experience includes machinery and electrical systems. His background also includes more than 60 weeks of Yacht Week charters. Deliveries, engineering and vessel operations draw on that practical experience alongside the guest-facing charter work.
We feature Captain Matt for waterfront readers whose interest extends from access to actually using boats. Some want an outing for friends; others need professional assistance with their own vessel. The business offers defined services for both, with technical and charter experience behind them.
