No, our experienced skipper will look after you to and from your anchorage.

Depends on the package!

It is best to contact Sydney By Sail staff with your preferred date in mind so we can give you an accurate start time. 

Essentially we get you out on the harbour as early as possible. 

For the Gold & Platinum packages, it is usually a 10am arrival back to our base in Darling Harbour. If you like to sleep in, contact our staff to arrange a late checkout!

All you need is an overnight bag with toiletries, warm comfortable clothing, non-marking white soft soled shoes, music and any additional beverages/food/snacks.

The cabin warms up quickly as the yachts are well insulated. The bedding is nice and warm and you will have hot water too.

The on board systems are run off a 12v battery supply so the only access to power is by using a 12v adaptor.

You can charge your mobile phone with a car adaptor or a usb plug.

Sorry, but not enough to power hair dryers.

Smoking is not allowed below deck. Smoking above deck is permissible, however we ask that you refrain from throwing butts overboard.

Food Platters are included in the package.

But each yacht has a 2-burner stove with an oven, including pots, frying pan, cutlery and crockery.

Depending on the wind direction, we use one of three designated anchorages.

1. Athol Bay, in front of Taronga Zoo if the wind blows from the N/NE.
2. Snail’s Bay, Balmain if from the S/SE
3. Bulls Head Bay, Waverton if from the W/SW.

You are provided Breakfast onboard the yacht. Choose your preferred breakfast menu from our gourmet catering menus!

We always choose the best possible sheltered anchorage to minimise the rocking of the yacht.

Occasionally during the night wash from passing vessel might cause the yacht to rock.

If you are susceptible to seasickness or travel sickness you can try remedies such as tablets, spray and wrist bands.

It is quite rare for our customers to get seasick.

Usual booking conditions apply. Any monies paid can be used as a future credit.

Postponement fee applies and you can arrange to pick up the food (if cancelled on the day).

To re-book there will be a charge for the food order unless outside of 3 working days.
