Itinerary
A 2 1/2 Hour Skippered Charter leaving from Palm Beach Ferry Wharf. We skipper you around beautiful Pittwater on an exclusive experience on a Beneteau yacht and serve you a Platter of your choice. If you wish to have a go sailing, steering the boat or fishing we will be happy to show you, but equally if all you want to do is sit back, bask in the sunshine and enjoy the views with a glass of bubbly in hand you are more than welcome.
For a swim or for a lunch stop Portuguese Beach is perfect. We can anchor close to the beach so you can swim to the beach in clean & clear water.
A very popular spot to stop for lunch, swim ashore and enjoy the beach and see a wallaby or monitor lizard.
See the rugged beauty of a stunning National Park so close to Sydney. The western shore has homes that can only be reached by ferry or your own boat.
Barrenjoey Lighthouse stands at Barrenjoey Head at Palm Beach on Sydney's northern beaches. Built in 1881, this heritage lighthouse is an iconic Sydney attraction.
Watch the seaplanes skim across the water to land & take take off from Careel Bay. Travel up in style to meet us, we can co-ordinate to meet all flights and transfer you to our yacht.

A very relaxing afternoon catered to our time constraints due to ferry connections. We had a lovely time and the food was enjoyed by all.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your afternoon. We were happy that we were able to fit in with the ferry schedule to make it work for you.
A wonderful afternoon spent on the water. My friend and I enjoyed a beautiful platter of seafood, fruit and cheese whilst Michael toured is around the sights of Pittwater. His local knowledge and chatter made the afternoon interesting and informative. We'd definitely come back on another occasion, and I'll try not to drop a glass overboard next time ;)
We had an incredible yacht experience on Pittwater with our skipper Michael. The booking process was easy and the communication leading up to the day was fantastic. The seafood platter was delicious, the swim in a beautiful secluded cove was refreshing and a perfect spot away from crowds, the whole trip was perfectly relaxed. Michael was friendly, informative, and an absolute top bloke who made the day even better. Highly recommend for a special day out on the water!
Thank you for your kind words, we're so pleased that you had fun!
What a wonderful experience we had! From booking through to the day, great communication and very accomodating. Michael was a wonderful host and his wife Linda made us a sensational seafood platter. Would highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you had such a wonderful experience and hope to welcome you back again soon.
This was by far the highlight of my trip in Australia. Despite it being a windy and cold day....it was still amazing. Beginning with the arrival of the captain himself quite literally on time with Everything ready! The view to get To the yacht was crazy. The yacht itself was another one. Mr Michael the captain himself was VERY nice, informative and very inviting. Despite it being a solo tour the money was completely worth it. Now I don't know which was better......the last spot we docked the yacht (beyond scenic, peaceful, no breeze,PERFECT place to do EVERYTHING) orrrr the seafood platter Mr Michael's wife made for me . The picture she sent me to see the platter before ordering did ABSOLUTELY NO justice. Theeee presentation almost took all of my phone's storage so I switched phones(thank God) the food ITSELF baring in mind I don't eat prawns was CRAZY. Every meat was FRESH . Thankfully she did too much so I took some home lol. I cant express my gratitude for them accommodating me and me only. I hope a 6 hour tour would be available next time I return to Australia. Thank you so much mr Michael and Mrs Lynda! 🇦🇺🫶🏾
Dear Andy, Many thanks for your kind words, we are so pleased that you enjoyed everything. I didn't realise that you didn't eat prawns! I would have been happy to discuss an alternative option for you!! Looking forward to seeing you again for a 6 hour cruise:). Safe travels. Lynda and Michael
I chose the twilight sail experience which was amazing! It was just the two of us and our skipper who picked us up from the Palm Beach ferry wharf in a small boat and took us out to the yacht. He was very personable and gave us some interesting insights about Pittwater. Our dinner was a lovely seafood platter which we enjoyed offshore at The Basin. As we sailed into the sunset, we enjoyed our BYO beer and wine and toasted the New Year. Thanks Michael & Lynda for an outstanding experience.
Thanks so much for the lovely review. Such a lovely way to start 2025. I am so pleased that everything was perfect for you.
A unique experience to see the beauty of Sydney’s landscape and waterways. Our skipper was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. He took us into a hidden cove where we could swim in the gorgeous turquoise waters. Then we enjoyed sumptuous and generous lunch platters as we gently cruised along. A perfect day. Thanks to Taylor Made Escapes for a wonderful experience.
Thank you for your lovely review, Linda. We are so pleased that you enjoyed yourselves. It really is quite a magical experience to be on Pittwater!
I booked with Michael and Lynda to propose to my partner and they made the whole experience greater than we could have imagined. Their understanding of the importance of the day and their care to make sure the day was perfect for us won’t be forgotten. Down to the platter Lynda prepared, everything was perfect and we will certainly be back. If you’re looking for an incredible day, do yourself a favour and give them a call. Simon and Jess
Thanks Simon, we are so pleased that it was a memorable time for you both and that we could help make it special. Congratulations again to you both!
We were met on the dock by Ian and his daughter and taken to the yacht by tender; we headed out on the majestic waterways of the Pittwater, the weather was calm after three days of heavy rains and wind squalls, so we delighted in the conditions and looked forward to a great day together. The sails were up, and we entered that quiet spell of just wind, waves and the flap of the sails as we glided through the water, a bit of history was regaled by Ian, our skipper, as we watched the small bays and tiny hamlets of Great Mackerel Beach and Barrenjoey Head quietly pass by. After coming about, we sailed with the wind behind us and then headed into a secluded inlet to take a mooring while our lunch was served, a sumptuous seafood splendour, with tropical fruits and cheese selection. We ate and swam and relaxed as the afternoon crept up, it was soon time to leave and return to the real world. Thanks, guys, for a wonderful day our family certainly enjoyed every moment.
Such a lovely way to spend an afternoon whilst in Sydney. The yachts are beautiful, and Michael and Lynda are absolutely lovely. They know so much about Pittwater and it was a really special surprise to see some visiting Fur Seals too. The food platter was a wonderful addition and tailored to our dietary request. We look forward to seeing them again soon.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so happy that you had a great afternoon and everything was great for you. We look forward to seeing you again.
