A must for sailing enthusiasts and perfect for anyone looking for a fun and adventurous way to explore Sydney Harbour.

We absolutely loved this sailing experience. The staff were very knowledgeable about sailing and shared their enthusiasm with each of the participants, even allowing people to steer the boat and participate in grinding. The views of the harbours, beaches, and other sailboats were like nothing else. This was one of the best things we did in Sydney - worth every... More

We were blessed with a gorgeous summer day and the harbour was full of sailing craft of all types. We spent a couple of wonderful hours relaxing as we sailed towards the Heads and back. The crew were friendly, cold drinks were available, there was the opportunity to participate in the actual sailing on the grinders or wheel; or if... More

Our lucky day to take part in the local yacht race and see the best of the harbour. The skipper and crew went out their way to make sure that all the guests enjoyed themselves. If you area sailor then go for it you won't find a better visitor experience. More

6 mates up in Sydney for a boy's weekend and we couldn't think of a better way to spend the afternoon sailing a real America's Cup Yacht around the most iconic harbour in the world. What a thrill sailing under the Harbour Bridge, past the Opera House and around Fort Denison and other landmarks. Exhilarating sailing with a professional and... More

It was a great day out on the harbour. We were lucky enough to get great weather for the whole trip. The crew were really knowledgeable and helpful. The only thing that could have made it better was a packed lunch to pull up somewhere and a swim. Would definitely recommend it and it's a nice way to see the... More

The scale and power of the boat just has to be experienced. Highly recommended. Next time I'm going to try to join a race where it will all be just that bit more intense. More

I'd been hanging out for this since my wife gave me the sail for my birthday last year. It was great to get on the boat and take part in the sailing. Grinding wasn't too hard and a trick on the wheel gave a good impression of the power of the sails. The downpour was an added bonus! More

We went on this half day Sydney sailing experience, which included sailing in a race. As a first time sailor I was extremely nervous at first, this disappeared about 5 mins into leaving the dock. The crew were great, it was a lovely sailing ship and a magnificent experience. Make sure to bring your camera and a weatherproof jacket (although... More

This works for all ages and shapes and sizes. The boat was gigantic and comfortable, but it was the friendly and professional crew that made it work so well. We were lucky to be there on a race day and that added to thrill as our sleek yacht effortlessly passed all but one boat in the field. There is no... More

Our two families, four parents and six teenage/adult children, spent the afternoon on Sydney Harbour sailing and it was the perfect addition to our Sydney holiday. Our family is from WA and our friends visiting from Missouri, USA, and for all of us it was such a uniquely Aussie adventure and sailing on the harbour past the Opera House and... More
