About this tour
Take the helm of a 12-metre Beneteau on Sydney Harbour for four hours of sailing with a knowledgeable skipper. You'll steer, trim sails, and work the winches whilst cruising past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, with stops at secluded beaches for swimming if you fancy it. The yacht sleeps six across three cabins and has a full galley, so there's room to spread out and make a day of it on the water.

What to expect
The skipper will teach you the basics and let you take the wheel whilst navigating the full sweep of Sydney Harbour. You'll see the icons—Opera House, Harbour Bridge, the mansions dotting Rose Bay—from water level, a perspective most visitors miss. If conditions suit and you want to swim, the skipper knows the quiet spots where you can anchor and jump in without the crowds. The boat has a proper cabin below with galley facilities, so bring provisions if you like, or just enjoy the sun and breeze topside under the bimini awning.
