Captain Matt: private charters and professional yacht services
Captain Matt offers private Sydney Harbour charters and services including captaincy, vessel deliveries, engineering and operations. His business works with people organising an outing as well as owners who need professional help with their boats.
Book the harbour for your occasion
Through Exclusive Boats, the charter offering includes LIFESGOOD, a 40-foot catamaran, with other vessels available by arrangement. Customers can plan family outings, birthdays and work events, discussing swimming, barbecue plans and other preferences when booking.
We like how a private charter puts the group at the centre of the day. The boat becomes a place to spend time together, with the harbour around you and the operating side arranged through the business. It is a straightforward way to enjoy being afloat without owning the vessel.
Practical help for existing owners
Captain Matt's other services include operating and delivering vessels and providing engineering assistance. Matt Dawe brings a naval engineering background covering machinery and electrical systems, alongside his charter experience.
For yacht owners organising maintenance and movements, that is relevant experience. A vessel may need professional handling as well as work on its equipment, and the service range lets customers approach the business with a specific job.
Why we feature Captain Matt
We feature the business because the services are useful and distinct. A charter customer is buying an enjoyable harbour outing; an owner arranging a delivery or engineering work is booking practical assistance.
Both offerings deserve attention in their own right. The appeal lies in what customers can arrange, supported by experience with vessels and their systems. That is why we include Captain Matt alongside the businesses helping readers get more use from their boats.
