Excellent morning/afternoon day out! Bruce and Jonno were great, super friendly and very entertaining. Wish I hadnt spilled the homemade scones and jam though as they were delicious!🙊🙊 Would definitely recommend and sail again with them next time we are ever in Hobart.

A lovely time aboard the Helsal IV thanks to Hobart Yachts, floating around with good company and lovely light weather. So fun to have this on its side ‘burying the rail’ for a moment or two. I can’t imagine sailing this from Sydney to Hobart (it does, it’s a 62 foot Maxi).. well I can imagine, I reckon it’s cold, wet, hard, a little terrifying and beautiful. This on the other hand, was very relaxed, with lots of snacks and good chats.…

I organised this sail as a surprise birthday present for my husband's birthday. I spoke to Mark in the phone prior to booking and he was extremely accommodating to our needs for a different sail time. This flexibility made the whole experience possible for us. My husband was thoroughly surprised to be sailing on a boat of this size. We were blessed with a beautiful day, and although the wind did not pick up significantly, we got to experience Hobart from the river in such peaceful and calm conditions. Mark and the crew were very welcoming and great conversationalists. We learnt new things about Hobart and had a such a relaxing and comfortable time. I'm so glad I booked!…

My family of four (kids 12 and 3) had an amazing experience on the overnight charter. We sailed to Adventure Bay where we had the chance to fish, go to the beach, and hike to the peak of Fluted Cape with spectacular views of the cliffs. On our return we kayaked through the cliff caves at Hound's Tooth while the kids explored the coast in the dinghy. Mark is an excellent sailor and is willing to share his knowledge and give you a turn at the helm. Jimmy is a fantastic cook (our dinner was the best we've had on our vacation) and an even better photographer (be sure to look through the calendar photos). Both gentlemen were great with the kids. I highly recommend this if you are looking for an adventure with the family that you will never forget.…

Thanks for your kind review. We had a great time with you and your family and I'm still working on implementing your aeronautical knowledge to trimming our sails. Can't wait for our next race!

Beautiful afternoon sailing the Derwent River - could not have asked for better weather, Mark looked after all on board re sailing and gave opportunities to anyone that wanted to test their sailing skills! Marsha prepared snacks & drinks throughout the afternoon, amazing scones from Mark's mum! We both love sailing and had initially booked our trip this time to Hobart to see the end of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race, with this not happening the afternoon sailing did provide us with a wonderful experience and great memories!…

Sailing across the finish line in a Sydney to Hobart race veteran with a scone in one hand and some Tassie bubbles in the other ... the stuff of memories : )
