Your charter experience

Every charter is tailored to your group — whether that’s relaxed cruising, hands-on sailing, or entertaining on the water.

After boarding, we typically motor out before setting sail. If you’d like to be involved, you’re welcome to take the helm or assist with sailing.

Most charters include time in one of the harbour’s sheltered coves, where you can relax on deck and, conditions permitting, enjoy a swim.

Depart from Middle Harbour Yacht Club in Mosman, where our yachts are berthed in a walk-on, walk-off marina, making boarding simple and seamless.

Alternative pick-up locations may be available by arrangement, subject to surcharge.

No experience needed — your skipper takes care of everything.
