  • Will it be cold on board?

    The cabin warms up quickly as the yachts are well insulated. The bedding is nice and warm and you will have hot water too.

  • Are there power points on board?

    The on board systems are run off a 12v battery supply so the only access to power is by using a 12v adaptor. Sorry, not enough to power hair dryers.

  • Can we smoke on board

    Smoking is not allowed below deck.. Smoking above deck is permissible, however we ask that you refrain from throwing butts overboard.

    The yacht has a 2 burner stove with an oven, including pots, frying pan, cutlery and crockery.

  • Where do we anchor in the Harbour?

    Depending on the wind direction, we use one of three designated anchorages. Athol Bay, in front of Taronga Zoo if the wind blows from the N/NE. Snail's Bay, Balmain if from the S/SE and Bulls Head Bay, Waverton if from the W/SW.

  • Where do we have breakfast?

    At a waterfront cafe in Cockle Bay called Fioranis. A full breakfast is served with tea or coffee.

  • Will I get seasick?

    We always choose the best possible sheltered anchorage to minimise the rocking of the yacht. Occasionally during the night wash from passing vessel might cause the yacht to rock. If you are susceptible to seasickness or travel sickness you can try remedies such as tablets, spray and wrist bands. It is quite rare for our customers to get sea sick.

  • What happens if we cancel our booking

    Usual booking conditions apply. Any monies paid can be used as a future credit. Postponement fee applies and you can arrange to pick up the food (if cancelled on the day). To re-book there will be a charge for the food order unless outside of 3 working days.
