About this experience
Ahoy there, sailor! Embark on a sailing cruise and experience the magic of Sydney from the water. You'll be sailing a 24ft keelboat with our professional skippers.
Departing from Manly, you'll have the opportunity to help set the sails and steer the boat, or you can simply sit back, relax and take in the views.
Cruise past the multi-million dollar waterfront mansions of the rich and famous, discover hidden harbour beaches and revel in uninterrupted views of iconic attractions including the Sydney Opera House* and Harbour Bridge*.
