SHARK, CLARK and RODD ISLANDS Wedding and Function PACKAGE SPECIALS from $1220.00.

Are you considering a Wedding or Function on one of the beautiful Sydney Harbour Islands? The prospect can be very exciting but the logistics can be daunting. Have you considered your water transport for caterers, food, alcohol, marquee crew, decorators, your celebrant, entertainment, all the guests and VIPs, providing bins for rubbish disposal etc?

Once you have your requirements down on paper you may think you need a barge for the marquee and other large equipment, a ferry for the guests and some water taxis for the VIPs and other miscellaneous transfers. You may have questions such as where do we embark that has parking and easy access for all the guests including the less mobile guests, families with prams etc, that also has easy access to your venue.

H2O Taxis has the solution to all your water transport needs. For an all up fee of $1220 (includes up to 50 passengers total each way) we will transport all your gear, caterers and supplies and other key personnel* out to the island of your choice for an early set up and then return to bring your guests. We offer another trip for your bridal party. We'll bring your celebrant back after your ceremony and offer a trip for early leavers as well. Of course, we’ll return later to bring you all safely back at the end of your special day.

For $1,440 we will transport up to 75 passengers. $1650 for up to 100 passengers and $1,880 for 150 passengers. Up to 200 passengers is $2,200. (Please note - additional costs may apply if crew, suppliers, caterers require individual trips).

Special conditions are that we operate from the nearest wharf to the Sydney Harbour Island that you choose. For example, for Shark Island this will be Rose Bay, for Clark Island you have the choice of Elizabeth Bay Marina off Ithaca Rd, Yarranabbe Park off New Beach Rd at Rushcutters Bay or Double Bay Wharf. For Cockatoo Island this will be Greenwich, Woolwich, Drummoyne or Elliott St Balmain. If you choose to have your special event at Rodd Island the nearest wharf is at Leichhardt, outside La Montage Function venue or Dobroyd Point.

Please compare costs. If you are after real value for money with one water transport provider taking responsibility for all island logistics, H2O Taxis has the experience and know how, and of course, the right price. You are dealing with a 100% Australian owned and family operated company, not franchisees or hire drivers. From the time of your first call or email we take full responsibility for the infrastructure water transport support required to make your function a success.

Our water taxis are the biggest on the Harbour (49 pax and 33 pax as well as a 12 seater), are fully enclosed with panoramic glass windows, comfortable coach style seating and are fully carpeted. Our WaterBus has a 1 tonne equipment carrying capacity on the roof over an area of 6 metres x 3 metres with easy ramp access. Our large vessels feature the extremely safe bow loading method for passengers, so the boats are very stable with no gap between the wharf and vessel. We even have access for most wheelchairs on the 2 big vessels, so we believe we have your water transport needs covered.

Looking for a celebrant? We can even put you in touch with the most cheerful celebrant on Sydney Harbour, Russell Hansen - please refer to www.russellhansen.com.au or call him directly on 0414 251 626.

*includes vessel allocation for supplies and equipment up to one hour only - charges apply for additional services used.

Fishmarkets: $110 - 6 pax

Travel with Sydney's best water taxi company H2O Taxis and go where the city meets the sea! $110 includes the first 6 passengers; extra passengers are $10 each.

Sydney Fish Market was established by the NSW Government in 1945. From 1945 until 1999, the selling of seafood in NSW was regulated by the Government and all seafood landed in NSW was required to be sold through the NSW Fish Marketing Authority. In 1994, Sydney Fish Market became a privately owned company (50% by the Catchers Trust NSW and 50% by Sydney Fish Market Tenants and Merchants Pty Ltd) and in 1999, the marketing or selling of seafood was deregulated, meaning seafood no longer had to be sold through the Market in Sydney.

Today, Sydney Fish Market employs approximately 57 staff to organise the weekday wholesale Auction, promote Sydney Fish Market as the centre of seafood excellence and the only destination to buy and sell seafood, promote the site as a tourist location and a place to buy Sydney's freshest seafood and is the home of Sydney Seafood School.

Since opening in 1989, the Seafood School has played an important part in persuading Sydney residents to eat more fish. The School is considered to be one of Australia’s leading cooking schools. Over 12,000 people come to our classes each year.

SFM is the largest market of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and the world's second largest seafood market in terms of variety outside of Japan, SFM auctions over 100 species daily. Sourcing product both nationally and internationally, SFM trades close to 13,000 tonnes of seafood annually.

If you are looking for the ultimate seafood experience, combining a vibrant market atmosphere with Sydney's lifestyle, there is only one place to be, Sydney Fish Market in Blackwattle Bay on the foreshore of Sydney Harbour.

An authentic fishermen's market, SFM incorporates a working fishing port, wholesale fish market, fresh food retail market, food and beverage outlets, a seafood cooking school and provides visitors with an entertaining and stimulating harbourside experience.

The Market has more species of seafood on offer than any other market in the world except Japan, with over 100 species of familiar and exotic varieties available on any day to satisfy all tastes and requirements and to cater for Sydney's cultural and culinary diversity. SFM is home to the city's widest variety of fresh seafood, ready to take home or cooked to perfection to enjoy while taking in the views from the promenade of the wharves and harbour.

SFM is a favourite spot for the changing faces of people, families, friends, tourists, office workers, educational tour groups and retirees, who all enjoy the "theatre of the wharf" while watching the catch of the day being transferred from the fishing fleet to the Auction hall.

H2O water taxi guests can choose from numerous pick up locations around Sydney Harbour including, but not limited to, Circular Quay, Double Bay, Rose Bay, Watsons Bay, Balmoral, Mosman and Manly Wharf. Our vessels are sturdy aluminium with comfortable coach style seating and twin motors for extra safety when crossing the Heads of Sydney Harbour.

From the inner city area, $160 includes the first 6 passengers; extra passengers are $10 each.

The average journey time from inner city locations to Quarantine Station will take approximately 15-20 minutes. From Manly, the journey takes around 5-10 minutes.

From the 1830s to 1984 migrant ships arriving in Sydney with suspected contagious disease stopped inside North Head and off-loaded their passengers and crew into quarantine to protect local residents from becoming sick.
After some 40 days most passengers were released to settle as Australian residents. Some passengers experienced a first class resort, making new friends and sharing dreams of a bright new future.
For others it was a far more frightening experience of disempowerment, disease and death. Stories of hardship and friendship, from mates to misdemeanours, the spirit forged in Quarantine changed our nation.
Now there is an exciting transition taking place at this magnificent heritage site. The national heritage listed historic landscape and its 65 buildings are now being restored to reveal forgotten layers within a contemporary experience.
For a limited time, there is an opportunity to see the transformation of conservation and sensitive adaptation in action. There is also the opportunity to visit at night and enter the aged buildings with a guide to hear stories of paranormal activity.
