WEEKENDER CRUISE 2 NIGHT SYDNEY

DEPARTS EVERY FRIDAY

Boarding from 5.00pm   Departs:  6.00pm Friday  Returns:   3.00pm Sunday

Friday  Evening - Board the vessel at Number 1 King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour. Later in the evening anchor in Farm Cove by the shores of the Botanic Gardens, close to the sails of the Sydney Opera House.

Saturday - Active types can board the tender for a quick trip to Man o’ War Steps beside the Opera House and a cool morning stroll through the Botanic Gardens. Once back on board,  tuck-in to a hot buffet breakfast before you head for the upper reaches of the Parramatta and Lane Cove Rivers. See foreshores and bay sides packed with historic sites, trophy homes and prestige residential developments while your on-board commentator shares stories galore from the past and present.

The afternoon brings you back to town for an on-shore exploration of Sydney’s historic Rocks district. Among immaculately preserved colonial architecture, you will find fabulous market and retail shopping, corner pubs, top art galleries and plenty of busking talent. Then we set sail across the harbour and anchor off the northern foreshore for the Captain’s Dinner and an evening of live music and dancing.

Sunday - The early morning crew is out again, this time for a walk through the bush and the old artillery emplacements on Bradley’s Head. The hike is well worth it for the glorious harbour views from the headland. The mid-morning’s cruise takes us into the territory of Sydney’s rich and famous – the eastern suburbs. Your commentator lays out their history and relates intriguing anecdotes as we sail past huge homes and glamorous yachts bobbing at closely-packed moorings.

At beachside Watson’s Bay you head ashore to explore the charming old fishing village and historic naval establishments which make up this exclusive suburb. You can take a guided walk to The Gap, an optional sea kayak tour around the picturesque bays, or relax in the waterside pub. Once again on board, lunch is served al fresco on the top deck and we cruise back to Darling Harbour.
