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 and Fort Denison, where during the early days of British settlement prisoners were left to survive on only bread and water.
Turning towards Sydney's affluent Eastern suburbs, you'll sail past some of Sydney's wealthiest harbor side homes. From Watsons Bay your yacht will cross the harbor entrance and anchor for lunch at historic Store Beach surrounded by beautiful natural bushland.
While your delicious lunch of sushi, avocado and prawn salad and chicken is being prepared, take a swim to the beach, relax with a glass of Australian beer or wine or toss a fishing line over the side of the yacht. Dessert of Belgium butter biscuits, cheesecake and fruit is also served.
In the early afternoon you'll head back to Darling Harbour, soaking up the sun and fresh air after enjoying an exhilarating day on your small group sailing trip on Sydney Harbour.

This was THE BEST experience. We had an amazing day on the harbour, David was well informed with all the sights that we saw as we casually sailed throughout the beautiful waters of Sydney Habour. We even got to get behind the helm and sail across the bay. Thankyou David for making our birthday weekend in Sydney an amazing and most enjoyable time. All the best and you have the best job (if you could call it that)

Our family of four had an amazing time on this small group trip. Just 2 other travelers, so almost like having your own private tour. David was a fantastic host - skipper and informative tour guide rolled into one. We had a lot of fun learning about the architecture and famous inhabitants around the Harbour area. David was kind enough to teach our 2 teens to steer the boat for a while, which they loved! Beautiful clear swim spot to drop anchor and enjoy a delicious (and high end) lunch including a beer/wine or two for the adults. We thought it was great value for such a personalized experience and would highly recommend!

The cruise was amazing from start to finish. Beautiful boat, wonderful information and conversation, fantastic lunch--can't think of one thing I didn't like about it other than when it ended. We were in Australia for 2 weeks and did lots of things, but this is one of the highlights I tell my friends and family about when they want to know about our trip.

Collection from our hotel was perfect, David collected our party of 4 from Darling Harbour. From the very start we knew we had chosen the right sailing option.David gave us plenty of information about the places we were passing, the yacht was perfect & David told us he only takes a small amount of people which makes the whole experience more personal. After sailing for a couple of hours around various bays we moored for lunch, while a couple of us swam David prepared the perfect lunch. Washed down with a couple of beers & wine we couldn’t have wished for anything better. We then sailed back & were able to take control of the yacht with David was there to keep an eye on us. All four of us had a fantastic time & can wholeheartedly recommend David & his yacht. We wish him all the very best for the future.
