What to expect
You'll arrive at the marina for a straightforward safety briefing covering vessel controls and harbour navigation basics. Once confident, you take the helm of a responsive, well-maintained craft. The Axopar handles smoothly in Sydney Harbour's conditions—you can cruise leisurely past landmarks or accelerate toward the Heads depending on mood and weather. Swimming stops are straightforward using the dedicated platform. Bring your own food and drinks; the onboard table works well for lunch breaks. Fuel is purchased on departure (average $150). The eight hours passes quickly once you're out on the water.
