      Great experience
      A perfect trip for a special occasion. My family of four celebrated my husband's 60th. Our experience was of flawless from start to finish. We enjoyed a sail and also added on a seafood platter. The seafood was fresh and delicious. The boat was spotless with everything thought of for entertaining and swimming. We loved the paddle boat, particularly the kids who chauffeured us to the shore for dinner at Bannisters. Loved it!

      Amazing Anniversary.
      The experience was amazing. Everything we needed and wanted was catered to no questions asked. We will be doing a longer stay next time with a charted sail included.

      When work is just fun
      Our small team was lucky enough to book Taylor Made Escapes for a 3 hours sail and spent a perfect afternoon with Michael and Linda. They were the perfect hosts, giving just enough information about the area, the boat and interspersed with a few jokes to keep us laughing. They also gave us space to enjoy time together as a team whilst enjoying champagne and a generous platter. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will certainly be recommending by word of mouth as well.

      Best surprise Wedding Anniversary ever.
      What an amazing afternoon and evening. We arrived at Pittwater to be greeted by Karri (lovely young lady) She took us to our yacht and explained all details. We headed out or a 90 minute sail and sampled a bit of sailing ourselves. This part of the world is just beautiful. Karri left us for the evening during which time we listened to music through the yachts blue tooth speakers and enjoyed a lovely cheese board and wine whilst watch the beautiful sunset and surrounds. The yacht was very clean and well equipped with all we needed. Waking with the yacht gently rocking and the sound of water lapping is unbelievable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Thank you Michael for all your help with organising this special event for a surprise wedding anniversary.

      Romantic Overnight Yacht Stay - For 2 - Taylor Made EScapes, Palm Beach, NSW
      Overnight yacht stay with partner in Palm Baech, NSW. Michael and team are really great, with a very warm welcome and all are extremely helpful. The yacht was clean and ideal and well equipped for an overnight stay. We took our own bubbly and drinks to celebrate my partner's birthday. Had a 90 minute sailing added on to the package which was well worth it - kind of a crash course in sailing and you get to take the wheel under the guidance of the skip, he was awesome and years and years of experience in the water with boats and Palm Beach. Yacht is equipped with fishing gear (if you’re into it) and snorkels etc. It’s very cosy, comfy as can be and we loved it. We personally would have loved if the yacht was moored further from the beach as you can hear the merry people on the beach and traffic, given the cost for a night!! Apart from that no complaints, and we loved the experience and we certainly were blessed with plenty of sunshine and fair weather. Thank you Michael and time and I have no hesitations in recommending Taylor Made Escapes for a romantic or more adventurous getaway! We’ll certainly be back for another weekend! Thank you.

      Living our Best Life !
      This was our second attempt at taking up this Charter, first time we postponed due to weather and so glad we did! The weather was superb, Michael our Skipper was an expert sailor and he and my husband who has also sailed for many years, had many sailing characters from the past to share stories about. My husband took the helm most of the time, the yacht was clean, well presented, the seafood platter excellent (we now know where to get the best prawns), Michael was happy to head to any location in Pittwater and I had a fab swim at The Basin. Time went far too quickly and we could have sailed on through to sunset. Highly recommend and thank you !

      Relaxing and romantic night away
      Was absolutely amazing! Scenery, location and experience. Michael and Karrie went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and as memorable as possible. Sailing was exciting and the platter was to die for. Highly recommend, very impressed and relaxed couple.

      An amazing night away!
      We had the most amazing time! Michael and Karry were so accommodating and made sure that we were settled. Everything that we needed was in the yacht and we took our own food with us, so we did not need to leave at all. We enjoyed swimming and watching the beautiful sunset. There was a lightning show that evening and thankfully it was around us and not on top of us - truly spectacular! We even saw a turtle swimming past the next morning! We would highly recommend this unique experience!

      Fantastic experience!
      Michael was a fantastic host and our escape was amazing! Everything that we needed was in the beautiful yacht, which was larger than I'd expected and had such a beautiful layout. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique gift to give a loved one.

      Home away from home
      What a wonderful overnight stay on the water. The yacht is beautiful and has all the luxuries to feel very at home. We enjoyed fishing, watching the sunset and cooking on board.

      What a wonderful experience for my husbands birthday. Michael was prompt, friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the sailing when he showed my husband the ropes. Seeing dolphins was an absolute treat and Michael made certain we got enough of them by circling and patiently giving us ample time. The vegetarian platter was beautiful and wholesome and ample. The yacht was very pretty and has everything we needed.

      Unwind under sail on Pittwater
      Our trip to the Northern Beaches was all about relaxing and taking a cruise with Taylor Made Escapes definitely rounded off our holiday perfectly. On the day of our booking the weather was pretty awful so owner Michael was on the phone multiple times, proactively watching the weather and ultimately changing our booking for the following day. The flexibility meant that we got out on the water on a beautiful sunny day. From the communication to Michael’s patience and assistance helping me to board (I have mobility issues from an injury), Michael was a fantastic host and skipper. My partner was able to get hands on with steering and a bit of rope work. We only had a couple of hours to enjoy the scenery of Pittwater while having a great chat with Michael along the way, but loved every minute of it and look forward to returning in the future for a longer experience.

      A little slice of heaven
      The view was tranquil, and although moored among surrounding boats there was still a sense of privacy - boats were pretty distant from one another and not neighbouring. Michael and his team were very flexible and accommodating. The yacht itself was clean and had everything you need on board. Thankyou Michael :)

    Fabulous cruise on Pittwater tailored to your wishes.
    Very professional with easy instructions.
    Pick up from Palm beach wharf.
    Sailed for 2 hours then had a delicious seafood platter.
    Very beautiful part of Sydney and you will have Pittwater to yourself if you book a week day!
