No visit to Sydney would be complete without some time spent out on the best harbour in the world. And the absolute best way to explore and experience Sydney Harbour would be on one of the magnificent tall ships.

Sydney Tall Ships regularly offer sailings across the harbour, however the summer months would definitely be the ideal time to enjoy all the harbour delights. The weather is perfect, the sky is blue, and simply being out on the water is refreshing, with the breeze blowing the cool air about your face. In addition, the combination of summer and the many events on the harbour at this time, bring about some sensational special occasions to enjoy aboard a tall ship.





The tall ships team is offering some splendid events over the 2014 to 2015 summer. If you are a visitor to Sydney this would be a highlight of your trip. Here is a selection of the top sailings for this summer covering our important dates and holidays.

Boxing Day/ Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race Start.
Giving you a bit of time for a sleep in after a busy Christmas day, the tall ship sails at 11am for four hours to watch the most anticipated and popular day on the harbor for the year. See the start of the race as the yacht contestants sail out of the harbor. The afternoon includes a barbeque lunch with steak and seafood and a live band. Relax and enjoy. If you are a sailing enthusiast this would be a day to always remember.


New Year's Eve Spectacular.
At $750 per person this would be a once in a lifetime night out I would think. Just imagine a night with the best view of the NYE fireworks in the finest harbor in the world. Not only do you see the 9pm family display but also the brigde effect, and the midnight light dsplay. The tall ship for the night is the Sydney Swan and it is part of the light parade, so you will be part of the action positioned within the exclusion zone to ordinary water crafts. A night of a lifetime, with a live band to dance and party till after midnight. It doesn't get anymore special than that.



Australia Day Lunch Race Day Cruise
Be a part of the excitement on January 25th, and particpate in the tall ships race day. Being aboard you will be part of the action as your ship for the afternoon will be part of the race. With a fair dinkum Aussie lunch of BBQ and pavlova, drinks, live music and a free mast climb included, there is lots to do and excitement too, as you can wave your Australian flag at the passing regatta.

Australia Day Tall Ships Race Dinner and Fireworks
This later sailing entails more adventure as you are part of the two Sydney Tall Ships fleet battle it out in a race against each other. A balmy evening on the harbour with dinner, music, fireworks and frivolity to celebrate our Day.

Valentine's Day Romantic Cocktail Hour Cruise
Departing at 5.45pm, this is an easy paced cruise to sail by some of the harbour's best landmarks while enjoying canapés and drinks and the company of your special someone. How divinely decadent, and oh so romantic.
