Gorgeous Way To See Sydney

5.00We had limited time in Sydney and felt like seeing it from the harbour was a great option to understand the area in a fun way. Dave and his beautiful boat did not disappoint! We had an incredible day on the water with Dave and another family. We all took a turn 'sailing' the boat (with Dave carefully watching on the other wheel, but still...) We anchored for a fabulous lunch. Dave gave us a lot of information about landmarks, history, and local life that was interesting and informative. We felt safe, pampered, and that we really immersed ourselves in Sydney for the day. We loved and highly recommend this experience.
Terrific luxury sailing experience!

5.00There are many Sydney Harbour cruises, but this luxury sailing experience is the best! Dave was a terrific host and welcomed a small group of us on to his beautiful sailboat. We felt so special sailing the harbour! We sailed into beautiful coves and learned so much. Lunch was yummy and drinks were offered often throughout our day. We settled into a spot for a quick dip in the water. It was a hot day and were so lucky to be on the water. Thank you David for making this one of our best days in Sydney!
Top of the List!

5.00Captain Dave and First Mate Natalie gave us a wonderful afternoon on Sydney Harbor......sailing, learning and enjoying the day! Expert explanations of some of the locales around the Harbor, sailing all the way to the ocean and then having a gourmet lunch worthy of any fine dining establishment. This should be on the top of your list for a visit to Sydney!

5.00The most exclusive day on the harbour. From the moment Dave collected us from Darling Harbour we went entertained in the most regal fashion with a true Aussie gent dedicated to making sure we had a memorable day. His knowledge was 2nd to none, facilities on the yacht so comfortable, lunch was delicious, book your day with Dave and you won’t be disappointed. 👏👏
