It seems that more people are thinking up wacky reasons to celebrate. Celebrate life, celebrate death, and celebrate mid-life. Sydney Harbour cruise operators tell some of their weird experiences. 
Australia, Commonwealth of (Press Release) April 17, 2008 --
"As my husband inched his way closer to the big 50, his mid-life crisis took the form of Friday-night karaoke" admits Jean from Bundeena. "He’s known at the local RSL’s as ‘Alvis’ (Alan turned Elvis). Googling on the web, my family and I found Sydney Harbour Escapes and called to see if they could help us throw him a mid-life crisis ceremony/50th birthday karaoke harbour cruise. We ended up on a twin-deck catamaran with fifty of our friends, all hooting around with karaoke, plenty of food and drinks to boot.
As for wedding ceremonies, they seem to be moving closer and closer to the water. Beach side, harbour -side, daring brides and grooms are even exchanging vows beneath the water in diving ceremonies! We’ve got an idea of how to bring your guests close to the water, without donning the wet suit so you can still wear the dress. Russell Hansen, registered ship captain and marriage celebrant, can tie your wedding knot on a charter boat fully attired in his ship captain’s uniform. Russell explains, "It adds yet another touch of romance to your wedding day. It also ties in well with Sydney’s nautical theme, and as you know Sydney Harbour is the best harbour in the world!".
Friends and families of the recently departed are matching bereavement ceremonies with what their late loved-ones were passionate about in life. From the scattering of ashes to annual memorials, there are many ways to add a personal touch to comfort family and friends. Mark Watson recently chartered Penguin, a large sailing schooner to scatter the ashes of a dear friend. "It seemed most suitable," says Mark "that we said goodbye to our friend by doing what she loved most. Sandra was an avid sailor and had a deep love for Sydney Harbour. Our friendly skipper really lifted the mood and turned the occasion into a precious memory for each of us. The day was perfect. We had the wind in the sails and enjoyed everything Sydney Harbour had to offer."
The staff at Sydney Harbour Escapes in Rose Bay take pleasure in matching the occasion to the individual "We’ve organized charters to celebrate the renewal of vows, baby naming ceremonies, gay commitment ceremonies, Australian citizenship ceremonies, staff and sports awards, bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs (for girls), step-children coming together ceremonies as well as our regular engagements, weddings, birthday parties and anniversaries" said Dominic Coleman, owner/manager of Sydney Harbour Escapes. "Guests remark how refreshing it was to celebrate on a Sydney Harbour Cruise and it stamps the occasion as an unforgettable experience".
