The Promise

Private Boat Hire, The Way It Should Be

Sea La Vie exists for one reason: to give you a private boat charter experience that is genuinely yours. No shared vessels, no rigid timetables, no strangers.

When you book with us, the boat belongs to you and your chosen guests, owner-operated from New Farm or Manly, with every detail taken care of by Captain Jeremy from the moment you step aboard.

Your Captain

Jeremy Wolff

Captain Jeremy, owner and marine scientist

When you step aboard Sea La Vie, you're not getting a hired skipper reading from a script. You're with me personally, the owner and captain, and I created this experience to offer something more personal than standard tourism.

Just as importantly, I care deeply about service. I want guests to feel looked after from start to finish, with comfort, safety, quality food and drinks, and a genuinely personal day on the water.

The Difference

Why Choose Private

Private by Design

This is not a shared tour. The boat is reserved exclusively for you and your chosen guests, giving you the freedom, privacy, and quiet luxury of a day away from the crowds.

Personal Snorkelling Guidance

When conditions are right, your snorkelling experience is calm, private, and guided. I'll help you feel confident in the water, point out the details most people miss, and make sure the group feels safe and looked after.

More Than a Skipper

Captain Jeremy brings together a marine-science background, reef research experience, and over a decade navigating Moreton Bay. From wildlife and reef life to tides, sandbanks and secluded anchorages, your day is guided by someone who knows what to look for.

Your Day, Your Pace

There is no rigid group schedule. Stay longer at a beautiful beach, drift beside a sandbar, swim from the boat, or simply relax with a drink while the bay opens around you. The day follows the best conditions and what feels right for you.

Everything Taken Care Of

From catering and drinks to snorkelling gear, towels, and route planning, every detail is handled before you step onboard. You bring your favourite people; I look after the rest.

“Had an absolutely amazing day out at the Tangalooma Wrecks with Captain Jeremy! From the moment we set off, everything was easy, relaxed, and really well organised. Jeremy is super friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable straight away.”
Jacob Brown
“We escaped the everyday with a perfect day on Jetemy’s private luxury boat. Jeremy arranged every detail, so everything ran smoothly and we could simply relax. The champagne surprise set a wonderfully indulgent tone from the start.”
Jonathan Legault
“An absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. This was not just a boat trip — it felt like a true luxury, very private escape.”

The boat

Photographed at golden hour by The Captain magazine

Two photographers from The Captain came aboard for a shoot on the bay, then turned the cameras on Sea La Vie. Nothing staged: this is the boat and the light guests get.

No surprises

Everything's included. Just bring your people.

No empty esky, no BYO list, nothing to organise. Every Sea La Vie day includes:

The boat and your captain
Exclusive private use of the boat, with no shared charters and no strangers. Captain Jeremy, owner-operator and marine scientist, hosts your whole day: 6 hours on the water with a flexible itinerary read to the day's conditions. Fuel and skipper included.
Lunch and drinks
A gourmet French-style picnic lunch of cured meats and prosciutto, smoked salmon, seasonal fruit and fresh pastries from local bakers, served on a sandbar (lobster rolls from Sea Salt available on request). A complimentary glass of champagne offered on arrival, plus organic juices, water and soft drinks.
In the water
All snorkelling gear, sized for your group, and towels. Marine-life guidance from someone who studies this bay.
Before you board
All route planning and logistics handled before you step aboard, and a quick guest form after booking covering swim confidence and gear sizes so everyone is fitted and safe. No per-person ferry or tour fees: the price is the whole boat.

Make a day of it: a professional photographer is available to join (partner-set rate). Everything else is already aboard.
