A lot of fun. Learned the basics of sailing a small boat on a busy waterway. Will, our instructor, was friendly & knowledgeable - and patient! A great afternoon out on the best harbour in the world.
Excellent experience I had to rearrange a couple of times due to the weather ,our skipper Will was very helpful and friendly I had the 2.5 hr sail and really enjoyed it. I hadn’t sailed for a few years.
From the greeting when we arrived by Hannah, who you can tell loves what she does to the communication ahead of time from Nicola to the entire hands on sailing experience headed in by captain Finn and Nicola the first mate, this was truly an awesome 3 hour afternoon. My wife and I had no previous sailing experience as did most of the other guests, and that was just fine with the crew. The Boat is a 1950’s era 35 ton classic wood sail boat that has been completely renovated and even has a bath tub. the trip we were on had 6 guests total and we all went on strangers and came out friends after sailing and steering this beauty around the harbor with incredible views of the Bridge and Opera House. If you are looking for a top not experience, book Manly sailing. First class all the way. Well done team Manly.
This was perfect for us- just the two of us with a great guide/sailor. Great fun on the water- guests can do as much or as little as they want. We thought the price was reasonable also
Thank you Ieuan & apprentice Tristan , great morning spent with you both , good winds , lots of tacking and chatting , local knowledge too. Thanks for photo opportunities, getting up to Shark Island and beyond , exploring closer into Balmoral , on the west side and Little Manly etc on the east . Getting out on the Sydney Harbour water in a mono is now ticked off , many thanks , Lynn .
Thank you Greta for an amazing experience. This is our second time with Manly Sailing and it won't be the last. Cannot wait for the next trip.
We picked the best day to learn to sail, the weather was perfect. Will & George were great teachers, I would highly recommend this experience to others.
George did a great job. Terrific introduction to sailing. Great way to see the harbor. The office is in pier level (Uber dropped us off up top) in case that helps anyone. Terrified day.
Wonderful experience to do with family. Our instructor was so fun and chill. We saw dolphins too! Cute area to walk around
We’ll run. Small group. Very chill. Olivia was very skilled and confident for such a young lady. Will be sailing again!!
Thank you for your review. Glad to hear you will sail again in the future and you were all inspired.
