About this tour
Spend three hours sailing Sydney Harbour aboard a 12-metre Beneteau yacht with a skipper who'll teach you the basics of helming and sail trim. You'll navigate past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, glide past Rose Bay's waterfront mansions, and spot secluded beaches along the way. Lunch consists of a charcuterie spread, fresh sushi, local wine or beer, and water. Maximum four passengers ensures an intimate experience on the water.

What to expect
You'll board at King Street Wharf and push off into one of the world's most recognisable harbours. The skipper will walk you through basic yacht handling—taking the helm, adjusting sails, working the winches—so expect some hands-on participation. Between teaching moments, you'll cruise past iconic landmarks and into quieter pockets of the harbour where waterfront homes line the shore. If swimming appeals, the skipper can anchor at a secluded beach. Lunch arrives mid-sail: a grazing board of cheeses, dips and olives alongside sushi, paired with a cold beer or wine. The boat's generous bimini keeps you shaded during the three-hour charter.
