Mari Nawi, meaning 'big canoe' in the Gadigal language, connects our vessel to the traditional way of life and the deep relationship Aboriginal people have with Sydney's waterways.


Acquired in 2010, the vessel was carefully refurbished and repurposed to serve as a cultural cruise boat and charter vessel. The choice of an Aboriginal name underscores the authenticity and cultural focus of every journey, serving as a constant reminder of the Eora people's connection to the harbour.


Today, the Mari Nawi offers immersive Sydney Harbour Cultural Cruises that provide guests with enriching knowledge and experiences highlighting Aboriginal culture and history in a respectful and engaging environment.


Our cruises feature:

  • Storytelling and cultural commentary from knowledgeable Indigenous guides
  • Cultural performances that bring traditions to life
  • Tours of National Park Harbour Islands with deep cultural significance
  • Connection to the stories and traditions of the Gadigal, Guringai, Wangal, Gammeraigal, and Wallumedegal people


Experience Sydney Harbour as it was meant to be seen, through the eyes of its Traditional Custodians, on the very waters that hold 65,000 years of living history.


By revitalising the Mari Nawi, Tribal Warrior continues its mission to empower the community through connection to culture and family, ensuring that the vessel's legacy endures for generations to come.

Let our friendly team help bring your private charter vision to life.
