About this tour
Sail Sydney Harbour aboard the Coral Trekker, a 1930s wooden tall ship with distinctive rust-red sails, for a two-hour lunch cruise. Fresh food is prepared on board as you drift past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from a working vessel that feels like stepping back in time. This isn't museum theatre—you're on an actual square-rigged ship, available Wednesday to Friday April–August, plus Mondays September.
Highlights
- Square-rigged wooden tall ship with original working canvas
- Fresh lunch prepared daily in the galley
- Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the water
- Free mast climb opportunity (April–September, subject to availability)
- Two hours afloat on historic Sydney Harbour
- No hotel transfers needed; public transport nearby
What to expect
You'll board at the wharf and cast off into the working harbour. The crew raises canvas as the ship moves, and you watch the iconic landmarks slide past from deck level—a completely different angle to the usual tourist vantage. Lunch arrives fresh from the small ship's kitchen: solid, unpretentious food designed to fill you rather than impress. If you book ahead and spots allow, you can climb the mast for views across the city. The ship rolls gently; it's a real vessel on real water, not a theme park ride.
Good to know
Book the free mast climb separately by calling 02 8015 5571—spots are limited. Infants need to sit on an adult's lap. The route and departure times can shift for safety reasons, so confirm your sailing date beforehand. No hotel pickups included.
