INFORMATION
BAREBOAT AND SKIPPERED
CHARTERS
Sydney Harbour is recognised as one of the most
beautiful waterways in the world. This natural deep water port is fringed
by white sandy beaches, quiet coves and has an abundance of wildlife.
Sydneysiders take pride in keeping this magnificent harbour clean - clean
enough and warm enough to swim in year round. The harbour foreshores
display some of Australia's most expensive real estate with many famous
Aussies amongst the privileged few. Sydney Harbour is the scene of many
wonderful events such as Boxing Day and the start of the
Sydney to Hobart yacht race and
Australia Day.
You can
charter any or all of our yachts for full or half-day charters to explore
the many delights of Sydney Harbour. You can choose a skippered charter where we
provide a friendly qualified skipper or a bareboat charter where you take
the yacht out yourself – but only if you have the necessary experience.
Charters can range from four hours to seven days.
