Charterscene is a Rose Bay-based charter operator specializing in sailing tours and wildlife encounters on Sydney Harbour and the Tasman Sea. The company offers private and small-group experiences focused on whale watching, sightseeing, and bespoke yacht charters. Trips include a private Sydney Whale Watching and Sightseeing Sailing Private Tour (three hours, up to 12 guests), a 3 Hour Whales Under Sail Tour (three hours, up to 12 guests), and a 4 Hour Sydney Harbour Yacht Charter aboard a Jeanneau 49i (four hours, up to 22 guests).
