Sydney Harbour Luxury Sailing Trip

Hoist the mainsail and sail through Sydney Harbour on a small group yachting tour. Onboard your luxury yacht, with your experienced skipper at the helm, you'll cruise under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and along the harbor to enjoy a delicious seafood lunch by a quiet beach. Your yacht accommodates a maximum of 8 passengers, ensuring you'll receive individual attention on your yachting trip on Sydney Harbour.

Your yachting cruise departs from Darling Harbour and takes you under the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. You'll be able to take photographs of the Sydney Opera House and the Rocks, the birthplace of British settlement. You'll pass Farm Cove and Mrs. Macquaries Chair on the right, and Fort Denison on your left, where newly arrived prisoners were left to survive on only bread and water.

Turning towards Rushcutter's Bay, you'll sail past some of Sydney's wealthiest suburbs as you make your way to Watson's Bay. Your yacht then crosses the harbor entrance and stops for lunch at Spring Cove on North Head, a lovely quiet beach surrounded by natural bushland.

While your delicious lunch of prawns, sushi, chicken, ham, salad, pasta and bread is being prepared, toss a fishing line over the side of the yacht and maybe catch bream or flathead. Relax with a glass of Australian wine or beer, plus dessert of fruit and cheese.
In the early afternoon you'll head back to Darling Harbour under sail, soaking up the sun and fresh air after enjoying an exhilarating day on your small group sailing trip on the harbor.
