| First impressions count…When Captain Arthur Phillip first set eyes on Sydney Harbour in 1788, he wrote, “We had the satisfaction of finding the finest harbour in the world, in which a thousand ships of the line may ride in the most perfect security.” This still rings true today. Superyacht owners, captains, and crew members still discover this wonder and awe when entering Sydney Harbour, and then discover Sydney’s superb facilities and warm welcome. Sydney Harbour is worldfamous for its deepwater channels, its Opera House, and its Harbour Bridge, making it one of the world’s most beautiful harbours. It’s also a thriving port which caters to an unrivalled mix of commercial shipping and recreational boating, including the start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and the spectacular New Year’s Eve fireworks, which have earned Sydney the mantle of ‘New Year’s Eve Capital of the World’. Since 1998, Sydney has hosted over 300 superyacht visits, and it now offers you everything a superyacht captain or owner may desire, from peaceful waters to fine dining, fine culture, and world-class shopping. It has excellent berthing facilities in Rozelle Bay, Campbells Cove, and Walsh Bay, and a wide range of technical support and refit infrastructure. The recently privatised Sydney Superyacht Marina in Rozelle makes a superb base while waiting for the next cruise, with endless ways for crews to relax and recharge and to undertake that much needed maintenance. Most superyachts can enter and operate on Sydney Harbour without a pilot. In certain cases, the Harbour Master may require a Harbour Pilot or [Local Knowledge Holder] be on board to assist in navigation. Broken Bay is located 15 miles north of Sydney Harbour, at the entrance to the Pittwater and Hawkesbury River estuaries. Explore these wonderful estuaries on a day trip or extended stay, enjoying the protected waterways within this unique, pristine, and secluded national park. It’s an ideal day trip from Sydney or stop over between Sydney and Newcastle. A visit to Sydney will be an unforgettable highlight of your cruise, and an unforgettable visit for anyone fortunate enough to be aboard your superyacht.
“Australia is definitely a great cruising destination. Here you can get natural beauty as well as high end shops and restaurants. We were in Sydney for Christmas and New Year. That was definitely one of the highlights for the Owners as we were in the middle of Sydney on New Year’s Eve under the Harbour Bridge, with his friends on board. It was one of the ultimate things to do and we will definitely come back and do it again. |
