Set Sail on a Harbour Adventure

Step aboard one of Sydney by Sail’s luxury yachts and discover Sydney Harbour’s hidden beaches and secret coves from the best vantage point – the water.

This 90-minute sailing experience departs directly from the Australian National Maritime Museum, connecting the stories of our coastline with the freedom of life under sail.

As the sea breeze fills the sails, your qualified skipper will guide you past some of Sydney’s most iconic harbour beaches – from the golden curve of Athol Bay beneath Taronga Zoo to the secluded shores of Store Beach and Shark Island. Along the way, you’ll learn about Sydney’s maritime heritage and the unique ecology that has shaped our city’s relationship with the sea.
