Port de Sydney : expérience pratique de navigation sur un yacht de luxe

Relaxed and professional and up market treatment by Finn and his crew, Amazing Sydney Harbour views and lots of fun sailing the boat!

A truly outstanding sailing experience. For those who want an authentic, small-group adventure on a beautiful yacht, guided by passionate skippers and instructors. Exceptional sailing, unforgettable moments – highly recommended.

I am not a sailboat person but my husband loved it! Water was a bit rough for me at times but the crew was amazing. Learned some things about sailing and got to enjoy some beautiful scenery.

Our sail aboard Manly Sailing’s Southwinds was a highlight of our trip to Sydney. Captain Finn and crew Hannah and Olivia gave us the opportunity to see this fabulous city from the unique vantage point of a classic 1950’s double-masted (ketch) boat. We voted to explore the Central Harbour—but could have headed out into open waters to look for whales. We headed from Fairlight near Manly Beach down the bridge and then back. The views were unmatched. The team aboard expertly handled the ship and taught us how to handle the lines through a series of tacks and jibes. (I assume you could just sit back and ride. But we wanted a more participatory, interactive experience). We each even took a turn at the wheel steering the boat as it cut through the water!

We really enjoyed this ‘Try Yachting’ morning on the beautiful ‘Southwinds’ around Sydney Harbour from Manly. Skipper Finn and his team Will, Holly & Conor put in such effort and enthusiasm into ‘showing us the ropes’! They included & encouraged everyone on board, both the young & the experienced alike. Such a relaxed & fun atmosphere - Thanks Guys!!

Had a fantastic sail around the harbour…glorious weather…the return portion, back to Manly, had decent wind with was my favourite part of the day, crossing The Heads. Highly recommend this sailing venture…Finn, Nicky & Toby manage professionalism and fun at the same time. Everyone was offered a chance for a turn at the helm. Well done, Finn & company…sail on.

The crew was very dedicated and took care of each passenger individually. You could just sit and enjoy the ride or actively help. In the latter, the crew was very concerned with getting something across. That's when you noticed the long sailing school experience. The sailing route was also adapted to the wishes of the passengers. Just a great experience!

I booked the 3 hour luxury yacht experience as a gift for my Dads 70th birthday. Manly sailing was very accomodating and made arrangements for myself and father to attend today. It was an excellent experience and highly recommend if you are visiting Sydney to book with Manly Sailing either as a solo or group adventure . The Yacht was presented in immaculate condition and very well looked after. Southwinds was beautiful to look at and very fun to sail. Finn included everyone in sailing the Yacht and we got hands on experience. He did a great job at coaching everyone and made it fun. Other crew members onboard also friendly and welcoming. Overall It was a fun, enjoyable and relaxing experience sailing out in the ocean, we even spotted a whale. We were lucky to have great weather, perfect seas and wind as we sailed through the heads and out to sea. Thank you for a memorable day!

Beautiful day spent on a sailing boat. Our instructor Steve was amazing. He explained to us with passion and patience how to sail and gave us so much extra information about the bay and historical details. Highly recommended tour.

We had an excellent day! Xavier was awesome, great captain, great teacher, great guy.. We had light winds but the yacht performed great. Very rewarding overall.
